The US agency that enforces workplace discrimination laws said in a court filing today (Feb. 4) that it is investigating Nike for allegedly discriminating against white people through its diversity policies.
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) said in a court filing that Nike refused to comply with an extensive subpoena, which requested information such as data on the racial and ethnic makeup of the company’s workforce, as well as a list of employees selected for mentoring and professional development programs, Reuters reports.
The commission said it was investigating allegations that Nike violated the law by intentionally discriminating against white employees and job applicants, including allegations that white employees were more likely to be fired.
