EEOC targets Coca-Cola bottler over all-women networking event

The US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission filed suit against Coca-Cola Beverages Northeast alleging sex discrimination for hosting a two-day networking event for about 250 female employees at a Connecticut casino, excluding men; Coca-Cola itself is not named as a defendant. The case, a test of Trump-era DEI skepticism, centers on whether excluding a protected class from an employer-sponsored event violates federal law; attendees were excused from duties and had hotel costs covered.

EEOC expands Nike discrimination inquiry to White employees

The US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission is probing Nike for alleged discrimination against White employees, citing Nike’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion targets. The agency’s subpoena seeks information back to 2018 on race-based workforce quotas, layoffs and promotions allegedly influenced by race, and 16 mentoring programs that were race-restricted. Nike says it’s cooperating and called the action a surprising escalation. EEOC Chair Andrea Lucas says the agency is renewing its focus on evenhanded enforcement of Title VII, reflecting a broader shift in enforcement priorities under the current administration’s stance on DEI initiatives.

"Dollar General Faces Consequences for Pregnancy Discrimination"

Dollar General has agreed to pay $42,500 to settle a lawsuit filed by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) after a worker in Georgia was fired for being pregnant. The EEOC claimed that the worker's dismissal was discriminatory and motivated by her pregnancy. The worker had informed her store manager about her pregnancy but did not request any pregnancy-related leave or indicate that she was unable to work. Dollar General initially apologized and offered her light-duty work, but later listed her discharge as due to "health reasons." The settlement includes back pay and compensatory damages, as well as an expansion of Dollar General's anti-discrimination policy and training on pregnancy discrimination for store managers.
