SUMMARY: Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey has filed a lawsuit against Starbucks, alleging violations of federal and state anti-discrimination laws. The lawsuit accuses Starbucks of engaging in race- and sex-based hiring practices, unlawfully segregating employees, and offering employment benefits exclusively to select groups. Bailey argues that the company’s diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives amount to unlawful discrimination, noting that Starbucks’ workforce has shifted to being “more female and less white.” The lawsuit seeks to compel Starbucks to cease what Bailey describes as discriminatory practices, claiming these patterns lead to higher consumer costs and service delays.
