Lowe’s changes some DEI policies amid legal attacks on diversity programs and activist pressure


In an internal memo shared by Lowe’s with The Associated Press, its executive leadership said the retailer began “reviewing” its programs following the court’s July 2023 ruling and the company recently decided to combine its resource groups, which were for “individual groups representing diverse sections of our associate population,” into one umbrella organization.

The retailer also will no longer participate in an annual survey by the Human Rights Campaign that measures workplace inclusion for LGBTQ+ employees, and will also stop sponsoring and participating in events, such as festivals and parades, that are outside of its business areas.

The changes were made to ensure Lowe’s policies are “lawful” and aligned with its commitment to “include everyone,” the memo states.

“We may make additional changes over time,” the company’s leadership team said in the memo. “What will not change, though, is our commitment to our people.”

@CocaCola's custom can website allows you to use "Harris Walz 2024" but restricts you from using "Trump 2024" because it's "political in nature" or "offensive."

Worth mentioning:

Legal Implications of Mandatory Training Programs Requiring Affirmation of Specific Viewpoints:

Mandatory participation in training programs that compel employees to affirm certain viewpoints, such as LGBTQ-related topics, may expose employers to fines, penalties, and other legal consequences. Several areas of the law provide potential grounds for claims or lawsuits against businesses in these situations.

1. Hostile Work Environment and Discrimination Claims

If the program requires employees to endorse or affirm beliefs contrary to their personal convictions, employers may face discrimination lawsuits under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act or similar state laws. These claims can lead to:

- Fines and damages. Employers found guilty of creating a hostile work environment or engaging in discriminatory practices may be ordered to pay compensatory and punitive damages, which can amount to as much as $300,000 depending on the size of the company and the severity of the violation.

- Injunctive relief. Courts may issue orders requiring the employer to discontinue the mandatory program or revise its content to comply with employee rights.
