Nike Faces Diversity Investigation
A US job fairness agency is checking Nike. The agency is the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
Nike faces claims about its diversity goals. These claims say the goals hurt white workers.
This appears to be the first time the agency has checked a large company's diversity policies. More companies are being sued over diversity programs.
Klear Note — The EEOC enforces US laws against job discrimination. Diversity programs aim to hire more workers from groups historically left out of jobs.
