“Let the states deal with this. Washington State is getting ready to make it illegal.”
I wonder if employers could demand your personal bank and credit card account information as well in states that permit this. As long as they don’t steal your money, are they entitled to see how you spend it?
I once worked for an employer that made us fill out applications for a Corporate AMEX card. Only came to learn years later while applying for a mortgage that they used the info I had provided for that purpose to go and check my credit report any damned time they felt like it.
It was a job where I was responsible for a good bit of money, so I could see where they were going with that. But the sneaky cloak-and-dagger BS really cheesed me off. Unfortunately they had gone out of business by that time so I could not sue.
