It's no different than an employer asking a potential employee for references. I've done it. Just don't expect a phone number handed to you immediately. They have to get permission first. In the same way you have to ask someone to use them as a reference.
If a potential employer doesn't want you contacting any former employees, they probably have a good reason why - such as every single previous employee left because they're unhappy there.
