Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey has filed a lawsuit against IBM, alleging that the tech giant has engaged in illegal practices related to racial and gender quotas in hiring and promotion. The lawsuit claims that IBM uses a “diversity modifier” that requires specific hiring quotas based on race, color, national origin, sex, or ancestry. Bailey stated that IBM managers who do not comply with these policies face adverse actions, including potential discrimination. IBM denies the claims, stating that they do not use quotas. The lawsuit seeks to permanently prohibit IBM from using these quotas and is based on the Missouri Human Rights Act. This case has implications beyond the tech giant as it could impact how other companies pursue diversity, equity, and inclusion practices.
