Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Nike Faces US Probe Over Alleged Bias Against White Employees
Caption: Nike Faces US Probe Over Alleged Bias Against White Employees. Nike is facing a federal investigation after allegations it discriminated against white employees in hiring, training, and promotions. The US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has subpoenaed company records dating back to 2018, including data on race, ethnicity, and whether diversity metrics affected executive pay. According to court filings, the EEOC is examining claims of a pattern of unequal treatment toward white workers and applicants. Nike says it has complied with the law, already handing over thousands of pages of documents, and called the probe an unusual escalation. The investigation follows a complaint from America First Legal, a group aligned with President Donald Trump, whose administration has criticised diversity initiatives as "reverse discrimination.” Critics say the case signals a shift in the EEOC's priorities, potentially chilling corporate diversity programmes, while Nike insists its practices are fair, lawful, and under review.
