Open Letter for Shareholder to Officers and Directors of Levi Strauss & Co.
Today, on behalf of a concerned Levi's shareholder, the ACR Project demanded that the company publicly retract its illegal, discriminatory training policies. Levi's has chosen to make available to its employees training programs defined by the immutable characteristics of participants (excluding all employees from participation unless they are of -- respectively -- the right race, ethnicity, or sex). But an employer discriminating in the training it makes available based on race, national origin, and sex violates longstanding federal and state laws.
