State sues IBM over diversity 'quotas'
[NYPOST] The state of Missouri has filed a lawsuit against the technology giant, International Business Machines Corporation (IBM), for unlawful practices in allegedly requiring racial and gender quotas in its hiring and promotion structures for employees.

Missouri Republican Attorney General Andrew Bailey filed suit Thursday against the company, alleging that such practices are a violation of the Missouri Human Rights Act.

“It has come to my attention that IBM has adopted an unlawful policy that blatantly favors applicants of a certain gender or skin color over others, and that managers within the company who refuse to comply with said policy faces adverse action, including and up to, termination. Discrimination in the workplace violates both state and federal law, which is why I am filing this lawsuit,” Bailey said.

“Missourians deserve answers as to why one of the largest technology and consulting companies in the world, with offices based in Missouri, is discriminating against both prospective and current employees,” he said.

We have had serious equal employment / EEOC laws enforced in the USA for what? 3 generations (60 years).

The setting Quota's only re-enforces the racist idea that certain minorities cannot do the job unless given a EXTRA unearned break.

Any company is justified in hiring the best qualified to do the job. Anything less, discriminates against those that got off their butts to work at, learn and earn a better position in life.
