“It seems that their employment practices, as shown below, are distinguished against employees, or potential employees, only because of their skin color or gender. This is clearly illegal,” AFL complaint, which was submitted to Fox News Digital, started.
AFL complaint claims that Dodgers’ and Guggenheim Partners are discriminatory because “even when using comprehensive terms”, it is used “to separate or classify employees or applicants to employ them in ways that deprive or tend to deprive individuals of employment, training or promotional offers because of their race, color, or national origin.”

AFL also has a problem with a DEI’s mission statement on Dodgers.
The statement books, “Our mission is to create a culture in which various voices and experiences are estimated, and our employees feel empowering through their prayers with each other, and the team and all employees feel that they are able to succeed.”
“Our fees aim to direct and track the effect, create clear responsibilities, report standards, ambitious goals and success measurements.”
AFL argued that the team is used in “quantitative measuring methods with goals that can be determined to achieve” success “, which seems to require engaging in employment, training and illegal employment.”
The evading complaints who allow employees to join the multiple “BRGS) groups within the institution, which provide employees” a forum for gathering with other employees who hold common interests, identities and/or social issues.

An exception to AFL complaint from “some BRGS seems to provide material employment benefits for employees based on their race, color, sex or national origin.” The complaint refers to Asian professionals, the black workshop, and Somos La, which “seems to provide Latin employees with employment advantages” and the women’s opportunities.

The complaint refers to the commitment of Guggenheim Partners to “expand the diversity of pipelines”, which provides for its desire to develop strategies for recruiting diversity and managing talent to identify, attract, attract and preserve talents. “
“When diversity stimulates employment decisions,” diversity “refers to sweat, color, sex and national origin – as is the case for Guggenheim partners – the result is illegal discrimination.”
Guggenheim partners, such as Dodgers, Business Resources Groups (BDRGS).
“BDRGS is open to all employees, however it provides employment benefits based on certain non -changeable properties and aims to strengthen the company’s Dei goals,” says the complaint, with highlighting the “innovation and insertion network” and the “multi -cultural employee business network”.
