Employer reference limitations. Is this legal?
I left my old position I on what I thought were good terms. I found out today that my old supervisor explicitily forbid my old co-workers to give me an employment reference. Can he do that?

Yes, companies are most certainly able to tell co-workers not to give out references. These should run through the HR department or through management which ever your company does. It has nothing to do with it being a good reference or a bad reference.

Yes. Companies are not obligated to give you any reference at all. Co-workers are not reference contacts - they may prefer that the requests go through Human Resources.
