The new racial discrimination suit filed against Nike is one in a series that have been filed against the retailer alleging a toxic workplace culture. A class action sex discrimination lawsuit filed by two former female employees in August called national attention to the retailer’s practices and caused a mass exodus of executives at the company after internal reviews.
This newest legal action not only raises renewed questions about Nike’s workplace culture, but also makes recent marketing efforts, geared toward diversity and inclusion, feel flat.
