Is there a way that employees (applicants) can check the reference of a company (potential employer)?

Employees have well known resources to check the references of potential employees and very liberal rights on how far they can go to do so–down to looking at our life history through background checks and credit checks, dipping in our urine, blood, and pulling out our hair to check for drugs. One place even asked me to present former employer W-2 forms.
What rights do we have as potential employees? I’m sure there are “Companies From Hell”, with a big name that you have worked for and would not refer a friend OR your worst enemy to. Because the company itself is successful and well known does not mean anyone would want to work there or that they treat their employees fairly, don’t descriminate, don’t watch over your shoulder through a microscope, after they check your piss and credit, etc., etc., etc. How do we–the people, who are at much greater risk of loss, pain, and suffering if out of a job, than companies if out of an employee–exercise prevention like they do?
