Not true, Shane! Our Plastic Injection Molding Co. (not Union, with very satisfied employees!) placed an add for a machine operator, no experience required, we’d train.
A Black man applied, but after a tour of our Plant, said he didn’t want to run a machine, but he’d work in the office. The Plant had no AC and the small office did.

We employed Black, Mexican (legal!) and women, with no concern about who they slept with!
He turned us in to OSHA (Occupational Safety & Health Administration” and the IRS! It was a nightmare but after about 6 months resolved in our favor.
This isn't the same thing, Honey. I was talking about DEI training in a non-union environment. If your company's management ordered its workers to attend mandatory DEI training, your workers would have to do it or risk being terminated.
But this case wasn't about DEI; it was about a jackass of an applicant trying to extort you. The government ruled in your favor and against the jackass. Good for government for sticking up for your rights.
Shane, I stand corrected. My point was just that even without DEI or Unions (which, BTW, our employees voted against organizing, bc they are paid & treated VERY well!) Companies aren’t always just free to discriminate. Does that happen, surely, but I don’t think everyone understands the employer/ company owner doesn’t have free rein - at least not if they want to run a successful business.
You’re welcome, Honey, a pleasure chatting with you. Yes, companies walk a fine line in hiring—-they don’t have to do DEI training, but if they don’t, they might be accused of discrimination. It’s tough running a business these days. I’m glad mine is a one-man shop: me. I’m a swell boss and employee:-)
