 <title>NC Identity Theft Update - Judge Smacks Down Union Motion to Dismiss </title>
 <link>http://www.nrtw.org/en/blog/nc-identity-theft-update-judge-smacks-down-un-10312008</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;
In June, Foundation staff attorneys &lt;a href=&quot;/en/press/2008/06/north-carolina-t-employees-file-suit&quot;&gt;filed suit&lt;/a&gt; against Communications Workers of America (CWA) union officials on behalf of several North Carolina citizens. 16 current and former AT&amp;amp;T employees from Burlington, NC alleged that union operatives intentionally displayed their confidential information - including social security numbers - in a public forum, leaving them vulnerable to identity theft and fraud.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Union lawyers responded by filing a motion for dismissal, but the judge wasn&#039;t buying it. Although Judge Albert Diaz dismissed the invasion of privacy complaint filed against the union, he did not dismiss the Foundation&#039;s main charges under the North Carolina Identity Theft Protection Act and the the Unfair and Deceptive Trade Practices Act.
&lt;/p&gt;
