Nike facing US probe over alleged discrimination against white workers
The EEOC alleges Nike's diversity program led to disparate treatment of White employees and seeks records dating back to 2018 amid a Trump administration crackdown on DEI.
- On Wednesday, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission filed a subpoena enforcement action in federal court in Missouri to compel NIKE, Inc. to produce records amid alleged systemic race discrimination against White employees.
- Last December, the EEOC asked White men to file complaints, spurring inquiries and reflecting a Trump administration priority after Andrea Lucas said, `Thanks to President Trump's commitment to enforcing our nation's civil rights laws, the EEOC has renewed its focus on evenhanded enforcement of Title VII.'
- The EEOC is requesting records including criteria for layoffs, use of employee race and ethnicity data in executive pay, and details on 16 DEI programs dating back to 2018.
- Nike responded that it has provided thousands of pages and will cooperate, calling the EEOC's enforcement action a surprising escalation as it cuts 775 jobs at distribution centers in Tennessee and Mississippi.
- The investigation may signal a broader enforcement shift as the EEOC pursues one of its first major probes following last year’s complaint solicitation, facing pressure to prove claims in U.S. courts amid Trump administration policy changes.
