Efforts by Congress to block employers from requiring employees or potential employees to surrender their passwords for Facebook and other social networks hit a stumbling block Wednesday, when a Facebook user protection amendment submitted by Representative Ed Perlmutter of Colorado did not pass the House of Representatives.
The amendment lost by a vote of 236 to 184, and only one Republican voted in favor of it,TechCrunch reported, adding that had it passed, an extra section would have been added to the Federal Communications Commission Process Reform Act of 2012, which would have allowed the FCC to prevent employers from requesting passwords from employees or potential employees.

Good job Repubs? Are you implying that all the people in the House are Republicans? What about all the Dems who shot it down?
Why of course.....because your employer OWNS you...... lock, stock and barrel. Your employer has EVERY RIGHT to know EVERYTHING you do.
We should all be required to give them a key to our homes too.
I wasn't aware there was a law requiring that all employees must answer any and all questions asked by employers.
