Summary
Walmart has rolled back its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, ending DEI training, racial equity programs, and diversity metrics in hiring and supplier decisions.
Employees call the move a betrayal, citing the lack of communication and its impact on marginalized groups.
The rollback has drawn praise from conservatives but criticism from racial equity advocates, including Walmart’s largest workers’ group, United for Respect, which plans to reintroduce a racial equity audit proposal in 2025.
Critics argue the changes mark a major regression for racial and workplace equity at the nation’s largest private employer.
What’s a good way to damage a Walmart store without endangering customers or employees?
i’d say stop buying things from them, but of course any damages will be felt by the employees in the form of job cuts, lower pay rises and reduced benefits.
the master’s tools will never dismantle the master’s house.
Stop buying things from them. Your justification is crazy.
The demand from you buying elsewhere instead will create better paying jobs for the employees.
Boycotts are a worker’s tool.
Good morning Audre
Personally, I would like to see drones dropping things like eggs and paint come into style.
That said, don’t target walmart with this. Go after corporations that are just as scummy (most of them) but don’t give people the best deals on their food.
So, pretty much any other grocery store.
