I strongly disagree. This presumes that the employee is a free agent able to decline - this is rarely unambiguously true in the US economy, particularly for service workers. Employees may also have extremely limited negotiating power and be forced to accept a "shrink wrapped" contract.
Reasons the employees might not consent but still go through with the fingerprinting.
- Every other employer mysteriously started doing the same thing as their owned by the same franchise owner and/or their friends.
- There are no other employers.
- You live paycheck to paycheck and can't just quit a job.
- Commuting to a different site would increase your gas bill.
- The extra .25 that BK pays is necessary for you to live.
- DangitBobby 4y agoThat's all speculation and frankly has nothing to do with whether White Castle violated the law or the spirit of the law. Either way, I can't agree. If everything a potential employer requires you to work there is considered to be "under duress" then we've got bigger problems on our hands. Namely, lots of slaves in the US.
