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.
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?
OK, women in college. I like this topic. I think it’s wrong to encourage all women to go to college considering once they graduate and start a career the clock is ticking down for having kids. And I think this is the root cause of low birth rates in all egalitarian societies.
I think society should encourage women to prioritize being mothers first and to persue career second.
My experience isn’t everyone’s but my mom raised me till I was like 15 and then she went to college and started her career. I think this is optimal. My childhood was incredible. And because my mom had kids early, I now get to enjoy spending many more years with her than if she had done the college first thing.
Not opposed to feminism but very opposed to current wave feminism.
Also want to say I don’t think most men belong in college either. But it makes more sense for them to go to college as soon as possible as they are unable to have children. Right?
