Is your treatment due to some form of legally actionable discrimination? In other words, are you not being re-hired because of your race, religion, disability, age (over 40), national origin, etc? If not, then your former employer is free to set the conditions of the workplace much as it sess fit. This includes who to hire or not re-hire.
