A couple months ago, we were informed by our employer that one of the largest customers they have is requiring all employees of our company that deliver to the customer must submit to background and credit check.
The reason giving was the customer wants to 'know who is on their property'.
I dont have a problem with the background portion, heck I have a CDL w/haz., a PEC card, etc.
My concern is the credit check, now my credit is excellent, I dont want inquireis on my credit report.
We employee's were told if we did not comply, we would be terminated.
How would you all here handle this situation?
I did, against my better judgement, comply. But still leaves a bitter feeling.
What would you do?

Companies are getting desperate. I'm sure the credit check is for any damage. If you want to stay in this industry, you have to comply. I'm the defiant type, and would tell them to pound sand,,but if I had little ones and a roof to pay for, guess what, I'd probably do it too. Just like when drug testing came about. Comply, or you're out the door.

I would have to go with Semi retired on this one. I have never had nor heard of a job that I HAD to have though.
Talking to my SIL a few days ago, since our state legalized recreational marijuana, one of the big mines, which is a major employer here with good paying jobs, now drug tests everybody every 30 days, instead of the old random policy.201 Thanks this. -
I'd tell them to piss off.
Probably want to see who's in debt up to their eyeballs so they know who's desperate enough to put up with their crap.Flat Earth Trucker, Concorde, olddog_newtricks and 3 others Thank this.
