Boeing Strikes, DEI Rollbacks, & China Week on the Hill 09/13/24

Over 30,000 Boeing employees are on strike after the workers union rejected its negotiated contract. After “China week” on Capitol Hill, Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL) discusses the 2 dozen China-focused bills lifted in Congress, and argues that the CCP would prefer the uncertainty and division of a second Donald Trump presidency. Companies including Tractor Supply, Molson Coors, John Deere, Lowe’s, and Ford have announced they’re rolling back Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion policies at their respective companies. Human Rights Campaign President Kelley Robinson calls the decisions shortsighted for employees and customers, and says, at least $1.4T of LGBTQ+ spending power is at stake. Plus, tech CEOs like Nvidia’s Jensen Huang went to the White House this week.
