- duxup 1y agoIf that was the case I would expect more support for such programs at union busting / anti union companies… but I don’t think that is the case. Quite the opposite actually. I don't think your theory makes much sense.

Stores at higher risk of unionizing have lower diversity Nearly all top tech companies pushed DEI, and nearly all of them were found to be involved in anti worker activities in the past. On top of that, you can find many books about how diverse democracies fail - here’s one from obamas reading list: https://www.amazon.com/Great-Experiment-Diverse-Democracies-Endure/dp/0593296818 https://www.amazon.com/Great-Experiment-Diverse-Democracies-... Additionally, here’s a quote from Aristotle on diversity: “ And it is a mark of a tyrant to have men of foreign extraction rather than citizens as guests at table and companions, feeling that citizens are hostile but strangers make no claim against him”. Adding racial diversity is a tried and true tactic over millennia to allow a small group to rule over a larger. It prevents the populace from organizing and keeps them divided. It’s no coincidence the billionaires who are overseeing the ever increasing wealth gap have pushed “diversity is our strength” and convinced a large portion of the population to defend this position.
