Companies are charging their workers ridiculous prices for spurious "training," and then using that debt to keep them chained to jobs they no longer want or need.https://twitter.com/theSBPC/status/1422962323568857094 …
Angus Johnston added,
Student Borrower Protection Center @theSBPCThe training involved is often totally bogus or unnecessary, the “cost” that employers demand for it can literally be made up by the employer, and workers who try to leave their job also face massive interest charges and collection fees added on. pic.twitter.com/1yuvwjJCZZShow this thread1 reply 24 retweets 25 likesShow this thread -

If this sounds familiar, it should—it's a worker-suppression tactic that dates back to the days of sharecropping, company scrip, and beyond.https://twitter.com/theSBPC/status/1422962328203632641 …

Student Borrower Protection Center @theSBPCTRAs are abusive and anticompetitive, shielding employers from competing for labor. It’s time to call TRAs what they are—21st century indentured servitude executed through shadow student debt—and for law enforcement and policymakers at all levels to act to protect borrowers. pic.twitter.com/AenpJZQIS2Show this thread2 replies 21 retweets 45 likesShow this thread
definitely had a fraction of a second of "wtf?" reaction to seeing you'd RTed something that starts with "TRAs are abusive…" before the rest of my reading comprehension kicked in!
