Nineteen Republican attorneys general have called on Costco Wholesale to abandon its diversity, equity, and inclusion policies, citing concerns about about discrimination and legal risks
This comes after 98% of the U.S. retailer’s shareholders last week voted against a proposal requesting a report on the risks tied to its diversity and inclusion initiatives, pushing back against the growing scrutiny such policies face.
Gotta love the party of “small government”. Not only is it small enough to fit in your bedroom, apparently it’s also small enough to fit in your grocery store’s HR department.
They’re not a small government … they’re becoming a huge fascist state apparatus
What the fuck do they care what a private business does? Fuck off and mind your own business.
They care when businesses want to discriminate by pushing for their ‘right’ to be racists and bigots.
They care when businesses treat people with respect, because that goes against the Republican platform for supporting racism and bigotry.
Bring down egg pricesStop hiring non-whites.
Another day, more evil shit.
Fucking disgraceful excuses for human beings. These people literally had to take time and energy out of their day to tell a private company, “stop treating different people as equals or (implied threat of litigation).” It would have taken zero effort for them to do nothing.
Repugnant monsters, the lot of them.
You’re right, but it’s convenient for companies like Costco to hide behind DEI while they pay laborers shit because (in part) the market is driven down by desperate immigrants. These AGs are trash, but Costco LOVES (and models their business after) exploiting low income workers. So fuck Costco as well.
That’s explicitly false, Costco’s minimum starting wage is $18.50 an hour, that’s more than twice as much as any other grocer. They have a strong union, give better raises and COL adjustments than any of their competitors, have reasonable shareholders, resist affronts from fascist government that every other company pre-emptively bows to, and has lower prices than other grocers in my area.
This comment is propaganda. Costco is great.
Yeah Costco has always been a shining beacon of places my whole town is trying to work at
Didn’t their CEO say he was gonna fight someone over the hotdog prices? Release him, let him loose in the senate.
Not just a fight but a death threat.
Haha yeah, the founder had some strong words about hotdogs for sure. It’s certainly rare to see people stick to principles over peer pressure of money.

These people just crave fealty at all levels.
What an endless freakshow the qons are.
I guarantee you that if Costco and other grocery chains implemented mandatory prayer sessions for their employees, these asshats would finally shut up.
They never shut up, they just get more and more demanding. After this they’ll want all non white employees fired, they’ll want all women fired, they’ll want any fruit and vegetables they sell to be monitored by a gender advisory group to make sure none of their plant species lacks a binary gender expression. Then they’ll demand all the product sold to be gendered male or female, then they’ll want a separate store for men and women, then they’ll want women who shop they be checked for pregnancy or ovulation.
.
If you’ve never listened to the people who make these demands, they don’t stop screaming. They never stop screaming. They are fever pitch panic salesmen. Once they get their way on anything, they immediately start screaming about something more extreme.
I don’t think they’d shut up. I think they’d try to force every other business to do the same!
Hope they stay strong like the $1.50 combo
Nepotism and corruption is the only hiring model they support
What a bunch of crusty-ass fucking shrivs.
Mind your own business republicans.
Costco should start killing memberships of annoying fascists.
And their staff.
