What do you think about the American Red Cross requiring criminal AND credit background checks for volunteers? I am a volunteer for the American Red Cross, and have been for several years. I am on call after-hours for Armed Forces Emergency Service needs (I help families of those serving in the armed forces to get messages to their soldier / sailor / marine / airman, and vice versa.). After a very few, but very well-publicized, instances of misconduct on the part of Red Cross workers in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, the organization has declared that no one may volunteer without submitting to not only an CRIMINAL background check, but also a CREDIT inquiry. If I were in a position to have my hand in the cookie jar, as it were, I would be better able to understand this. As it is, I am doing a job for which they would have to hire someone -- a job that intrudes on my personal life considerably, with calls at all hours of the night. In effect, I have chosen to do them a favor, and yet they want to know if I pay my JC Penney bill on time, or if I have a student loan. What say you?
