From the Editor's Desk

In this edition of our monthly e-newsletter, Home Depot has been slapped with a class action lawsuit for violating the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), for allegedly failing to properly inform job applicants that adverse action was taken due to the results of a background check.

Sincerely,
