美前官員籲承包商堅守多元共融政策,抵制川普政府壓力




前美國勞工部官員促請聯邦承包商堅持企業多元化政策

路透社報道,一群曾任美國勞工部官員聯名致信持有聯邦政府合約的企業,敦促他們在面對特朗普政府法律威脅時,繼續維持企業內的多元化政策。這封公開信由十位前官員簽署,他們的任期橫跨克林頓、歐巴馬及拜登三屆政府,信中指出特朗普政府無權禁止企業推行平等機會計劃。

自特朗普上任以來,透過行政命令,政府致力於取消聯邦機構及承包商的多元化、公平及包容(DEI)計劃,並施壓私人企業跟隨其腳步。反對者認為這些計劃令部分群體獲得不公平優勢,但支持者則認為,這些措施有助促進女性、少數族裔及其他弱勢群體的機會,回應社會不平等問題。

這些承包商合共聘用了約五分之一的美國勞動力,包括波音和洛克希德·馬丁等大型企業,近來已有部分公司縮減或停止推廣DEI計劃。然而,曾在勞工部及聯邦承包商合規辦公室(OFCCP)任職的前官員指出,政府對DEI的打壓在法律上站不住腳。

信中強調:「雖然聯邦政府選擇自行拆解多元化、公平、包容及無障礙計劃,但政府無權禁止私營企業採用合法策略推動平等機會。」

新任OFCCP主管凱瑟琳·埃施巴赫(Catherine Eschbach)打算懲處未具體說明的「非法」DEI計劃,令業界「廣泛感到擔憂和不確定」,促使簽署人撰寫此信,協助企業董事會堅守立場。前OFCCP高級顧問、現諮詢公司CEO Pamela Coukos表示,許多人不確定是否應該繼續推動這些工作,甚至考慮撤回。

特朗普政府將DEI視為激進且浪費資源,認為此類計劃導致機構不再以能力作唯一考量。白宮發言人Anna Kelly回應指:「那些靠納稅人資金賺取巨額利潤的公司,如果堅持歧視性DEI政策,歡迎他們自動放棄合約資格。」她強調,美國民眾在去年十一月選舉中已明確表示,不願資助這些激進且浪費的優先事項。

信中指出,承包商在面對特朗普政府命令時需審慎應對,盡管現時局勢混亂且令人困惑,但DEI計劃曾為企業提供法律保護,幫助避免潛在歧視行為。

此外,特朗普無權通過行政命令更改國會制定的法律,亦不能因企業正確遵守舊有規定而追究責任。強制私營企業放棄DEI計劃亦觸及憲法問題。前勞工部律師Seema Nanda表示:「他們試圖顛覆基石般的民權法律,並利用這些法律恐嚇雇主,不僅禁止合法政策,還禁止那些幫助企業積極經營的政策。」

評論與啟示

這封公開信及其背後的爭議,反映出美國社會在多元化、公平與包容議題上的深刻分歧。特朗普政府試圖透過行政命令限制DEI計劃,表面上是為了「效率」與「公平」,但實際上卻可能削弱了企業對弱勢群體的支持與法律保障。這種做法不僅挑戰了既有的民權法律框架,也觸動了社會公平的核心價值。

值得注意的是,這些多元化計劃不僅是企業社會責任的體現,更是提升企業競爭力和創新能力的關鍵。多元化團隊往往能帶來更全面的視角和解決方案,這對於全球化和日益複雜的商業環境至關重要。特朗普政府的政策若一味削減這些計劃,可能會令美國企業在國際市場上失去優勢。

此外,這場爭議也提醒政策制定者和企業領袖,推動社會公平不應只是政治口號,而應建立在法律保障和實際成效之上。行政命令的短期政策變動,難以取代立法及社會共識的力量。未來,如何在尊重法律程序的同時,推動真正包容且有效的多元化政策,將是美國社會和全球企業面臨的重要課題。

對香港及其他地區的企業來說,這也是一個值得借鏡的案例:多元化與包容不應被視為負擔,而是提升企業韌性和創新力的資產。面對國際政治經濟風雲變幻,堅持公平機會和多元文化,或許正是企業走得更遠的關鍵。

Create a cinematic, studio-quality close-up portrait (9:16 aspect ratio, 4K resolution) of a young East Asian woman on a winter afternoon in Taipei. She stands at the entrance plaza of a bustling shopping mall, bathed in the soft, golden glow of the warm winter sun. She wears a stylish white cocktail dress with a short skirt, her look elegant yet youthful.

Her pose is playful and animated: she raises both hands joyfully above her head, holding a handmade cardboard sign. Written in bold strokes of black marker, the sign reads: "TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY." Her facial expression is a beautiful blend of joy and gentle shyness—her sparkling eyes and slight blush convey excitement and a touch of bashfulness.

The background subtly hints at the urban Taipei atmosphere, with softly blurred neon signs, modern architecture, and passersby dressed for the season, adding depth and authenticity. Capture delicate details: sunlight warming her skin, the gentle flow of her hair, and the texture of the handwritten sign. The overall mood is warm, festive, and inviting—a true cinematic moment infused with personality and charm.
