Outrageous. We've all heard about employers' checking credit scores and social media sites to research their employees' credit scores and find out more about their lifestyles. I hadn't heard of anyone actually being fired for having credit issues before I read this: A Petition on Change.org.
It is happening. According to Change.org, Latoya Harton, an accountant, was fired from her job because her debt-to-credit ratio was too high. Unbelievable. Latoya is trying to pay off student loan debt. This is out and out discrimination. It must be stopped.
According to Latoya, 60% of employers now check employees credit reports, namely TransUnion credit. This company sells credit reports to employers'. According to Change.org; TransUnion's Chair sits on Obama's job panel.
This is an outrage!
Citizens cannot sit sit still with this any longer; witness Occupy and other emerging citizens' groups springing up around the country.
This leaves me asking, what's next? Are employers' going to put camera's in our bedrooms' and bug our telephone calls?
It all makes me very nervous. Remember Nazi Germany? This regime started innocently enough. You were a good German if you joined the party, and look what happened with that mentality.
This is no different. Our country is in danger of becoming socialist. We are now being discriminated against because of our personal income and how we manage money. Excuse me, but Donald Trump and other Entrepreneurs' couldn't have gotten where they're at if they were being scrutinized by companies checking out their credit.
Just like conducting any other analysis, we need to stop and reflect where this could have started. Yes, our economy is in trouble, people out of work, and businesses are closing left and right. The paranoia has now extended to citizens' private lives, which should have nothing to do with this issue.
We have to contact our local legislators and let them know that we do not approve! It has to start at the grass roots level and work its way up to Washington and big business has to hear our voice.
I urge you to go to this petition and be heard.
Let businesses know you are not okay with this privacy invasion.
