Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether large financial services employers should be able to use FINRA Form U5 as a blacklisting tool against former employees who raised discrimination issues

Question Presented (OCR Extract)

No question identified. : QUESTIOWN(S) PRESENTED . Is it a matter of national interest and importance that large financial services employers should not be able to skate around discrimination laws, EEOC regulations and federal discrimination laws while unnecessarily and viciously destroying US workers lives when issues of discrimination are raised? The questions posed are: (1)Whether TIAA one of the US largest retirement plan provider, a fortune 100 corporation with over 17,000 employees illegally weaponized FINRA (Financial Industry Regulatory Authority) FORM U5 (to effect violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Acts of 1967) as a blacklisting tool against former discriminated against employee: a reporting repository for registered financial services employees? FINRA FORM U5 contains accumulated former employer(s) remarks — corrections, modifications, employment history, regulatory actions, investment related licensing information, arbitration, and complaints? (2) Given that TIAA is a expert employer in completing FINRA Form U5 — did TIAA intend to file negative remarks in breach of the contract they drafted? Something needs to be done to stop the discriminatory injustice by huge financial services firms use of FINRA as a blacklisting tool to deny US workers employment opportunity in a field that the workers spent years to be qualified to work in. It is time for the court to act now and set a precedent about the mistreatment of employees by these huge trillion-dollar firms. And implement a process for expungement of illegal and discrimination remarks in FINRA repository open to employees. BS a ww
