Legal Question in Bankruptcy in Minnesota

Bankrupcy/ Employment Concern

If I am currently employed by a retailer and will be filing a chptr 7 bankrupcy and have two outstanding credit cards with them that would not be reaffirmed, can they fire me? Also, if i change employers, can I be denied employment due to a bankrupcy as I find many employers are now doing credit checks before hiring.

What they actually will do, however, is another matter.
