Summary
Costco’s board rejected a shareholder proposal to end its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies, arguing they foster respect, innovation, and cultural alignment with customers and employees.
Shareholders claimed DEI could lead to lawsuits citing “illegal discrimination” against white, Asian, male, or straight employees, referencing legal cases like Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard.
Costco countered that its DEI efforts comply with the law and enhance its culture, rejecting claims of legal risk.
The proposal will be voted on at Costco’s January 23 shareholder meeting.
Maybe true. I’ll do more research going forward.
Full disagree with you that I’m bigoted though. You mentioned women in executive positions. Women aren’t in executive positions because they don’t want to be, not the other way around.
My friend you need to do a LOT of research. You’re repeating ancient Fox News myths.
I think that jobs held by women should be paid as much as jobs held by men though.
There are no women fixing power lines despite nothing stopping them from doing so. Why? I can name a lot of example jobs like this. Executive roles are one of them.
I’m not American so I’m unfamiliar with fox news talking points.
This is exactly how society talked about women going to college. Then in the 90’s-2010’s we prioritized getting rid of systemic barriers and addressing sexism. Now women actually outnumber men in college. Again, people talked the exact same way about women going to college for over half a century. Were they right? Or did it “sound” right so no one challenged it?
