No more credit checks to gain employment. This is a new way of discrimination and segregation.

Created by W.J. on June 23, 2013

There is a new form of discrimination and segregation in America. Employers are legally able to turn you down for a job because of your economic status by requiring you to get a credit check to get a job. This is a form of stereotyping and discrimination. Congress needs to address this problem immediately to protect those less fortunate individuals from being kept at a lower economic status. Just how are people expected to pay their bills on time if they cannot gain employment? If everything is increasing in price and you are unable to get jobs because you have little or no money to survive what can you really do? This is a way to keep those that are wealthy at their status and those less wealthy at their current status.
Demand congress change the laws to make this illegal.
