「美國法院裁定:輝瑞面對多元化訴訟」




美國法院裁定輝瑞必須面對多元化獎學金計劃的訴訟

(路透社)- 一個反對醫療領域多元化倡議的保守派團體的訴訟在美國上訴法院於週五被重啟,該訴訟挑戰輝瑞(Pfizer)設立的獎學金計劃,旨在增加黑人、拉丁裔和美洲原住民在公司領導職位的管道。

在「不傷害」(Do No Harm)組織的要求下,紐約第二巡迴上訴法院的一個2-1小組重新審視了去年做出的裁決,該裁決認為該組織在法律上無權挑戰輝瑞的計劃。

早前的裁決提高了「不傷害」等團體追索類似案件的門檻,認為他們需要具名識別受 alleged 歧視影響的成員。

「不傷害」及其他保守派倡導團體曾敦促第二巡迴法院重新考慮該裁決,指出這會使民權訴訟受到寒蟬效應,因為如果身份被揭露,個人可能會遭到騷擾和報復。

該第二巡迴法院小組同意重新考慮此事,並於週五得出結論,認為一名初審法官在評估「不傷害」的法律地位時標準過於嚴格,應重新考慮該問題。

輝瑞在一份聲明中表示,「不傷害」的主張毫無根據,並將在初審法庭層面處理。該公司表示,「對於多元化、公平和包容的承諾感到自豪」。

總部位於維吉尼亞州的「不傷害」組織是一個非營利機構,成員包括醫生、醫學生等,旨在「保護醫療保健免受激進、分裂和歧視意識形態的影響」,目前尚未發表任何評論。

「不傷害」於2022年對輝瑞提起訴訟,針對該公司的突破獎學金計劃,該計劃旨在增加黑人、拉丁裔和美洲原住民在公司的領導地位,並聲稱該計劃對白人和亞裔美國申請者存在歧視。

該訴訟是在美國最高法院聽取相關案件的前一個月提出的,該法院的保守派多數隨後將哈佛大學和北卡羅來納大學所使用的基於種族的招生政策宣判為非法。

2023年6月的這一裁決雖然專注於大學招生,但引發了一波挑戰公司多元化計劃的訴訟,其中一些公司因此調整了政策。

沃爾瑪(Walmart)和麥當勞(McDonald’s)等公司最近因保守派活動家的壓力而撤回了多元化實踐。

「不傷害」代表兩名匿名的白人或亞裔美國成員挑戰輝瑞的計劃,聲稱這違反了聯邦反歧視法律。該計劃的標準已經改變,現在任何人都可以申請。

評論

這宗案件不僅僅是關於輝瑞的多元化計劃,還反映了當前美國社會對於多元化和包容性議題的激烈爭論。隨著保守派團體不斷挑戰企業的多元化政策,企業在制定和維護這些政策時將面臨愈來愈大的壓力。這可能會導致一些企業選擇放棄多元化措施,從而使整體社會的包容性和公平性受到威脅。

此外,這起訴訟也突顯了當前法律體系在道德和法律之間的矛盾,特別是在如何平衡各族群的權益時。未來,企業在制定政策時需要更加謹慎,以避免法律風險,同時保持對多元化的承諾。這不僅對企業的形象至關重要,更是對社會責任的體現。
