Dear Rick-
I just read with interest some of the comments on your blog. Congratulations. I learned about your blog from Bill Jawitz’s most recent newsletter. I don’t have a blog yet, but if I did, I would definitely post something about yours in it!
Be well-talk to you soon.
Matt

With so many CT residents out of work and struggling financially…..I feel the time is right for the legislator to protect perspective employee’s by limiting credit checks as part of the back ground screening process during recruitment process! It’s a catch 22 situation…..and many “displaced” CT residnets are caught up in this situation.
I can understand firms that employeeing people eho handle and or control financial transactions might want to have some type of safeguard built into the review process……..but many jobs are being lost because of applicants poor credit scores…..and stuies have shown that there is no correlation to poor credit scores and job performance.
There is a class action suit pending against Harvard wending it’s way through the Massachusetts courts……A temporary worker reluctantly filled out a fulltime application, telling her boss about her past financial issues and related poor credit score. Her boss assured her she could del with the issue and get her full time employment and benefits etc…..
HR turned her down…..and a team of students, lead by a professor brought a class action suit against the University on behalf of this person.

There is no law that I am aware of that uses that terminology. I sounds like something specific to your employer.
