#US #FTC warns #LawFirms about “DEI” hiring

The U.S. Federal Trade Commission said on Friday it had written to 42 law firms warning them about diversity, equity, & inclusion hiring, which it described as potentially “unfair” & “anticompetitive” [fair & level].

The #Trump admin has eliminated DEI-related programs in the government. Several private firms have also rolled back such initiatives.

The #FTC letters were addressed to many of the country's largest & most profitable firms. 3 of them — Paul Weiss, WilmerHale & Perkins Coie — were targeted last year by Trump executive orders that threatened their business practices, citing in part their allegedly discriminatory hiring practices.

Paul Weiss & 2 other #LawFirms named by the #FTC on Friday — Skadden Arps & Latham & Watkins — reached deals with the White House to void or sidestep such orders, pledging millions of dollars in free #legal work to mutually-supported causes with the #Trump admin.

The FTC's list also includes WilmerHale & Perkins Coie, which filed successful lawsuits challenging Trump's executive orders last year as #unconstitutional.

@Nonilex They will allow discrimination against people who aren’t cishet white male, but satan-forbid “reverse racism.”
