However, it is hard to believe that racial discrimination was the only type of discrimination in the company, when leadership, management and care for diversity was lacking. And the gender? I can imagine that before the 1960s there weren't many opportunities for women to be considered in Coca-Cola's workforce, only in administrative or clerical positions, but not in operational or managerial ones, much less at management level. director. Of course, in those days, racial discrimination against African Americans was a much higher priority and offense. The lawsuit might have had more plaintiffs if employees and directors like Mr. Ware had been aware of all the types of discrimination that could arise from a lack of diversity management. The big difference nowadays is that we have a diverse workforce in most advanced economies, and even more so in the United States, and in the first half of the 1900s, that wasn't the case. It was very diversified for Coca-Cola because they had many factories in many countries around the world. Today, we can find in a Coca-Cola plant in the United States white, black, Hispanic, Asian and other employees in the same facility, and of different genders, at all levels of the organization and with different cultures and religions.
