Costco Hits Back At Right Wing Think Tank Push To Cripple It's Diversity Program

[luiza]

An activist group of shareholders backed by a right-wing think tank are trying to pressure the bulk wholesaler club store Costco into dropping its diversity, equity and inclusion policies — but the company is pushing back — hard, reported CNN on Friday.

According to the report, Costco's board of directors "unanimously recommended that its shareholders vote against a proposal brought by a conservative think tank, the National Center for Public Policy Research, that would require Costco to evaluate and issue a report on the financial risks of maintaining its diversity and inclusion goals. The group criticized Costco for possible 'illegal discrimination' against employees who are 'white, Asian, male or straight.'"

However, Costco's board noted that its diversity policies improved sales — and accused the think tank of disguising a culture war battle as a risk management policy.

What was the name of the Drinks company that thought they were being smart by ignoring the Zeitgeist .
Was it Bud Lite or Bad Shite?

Yes! Because American corporations thrive on a high employee turnover rate.

They want high turnover and don't want their best workers to stay on. It's so easy to find skilled workers.
