pn604. Rectify ethnic imbalances or watch food prices, a Judith Collins alternative

   


Judith Collins has queried Countdown's plans for diversity, saying it could be illegal.

The supermarket chain has made a commitment to make 20% of its top level management Maori or Pasifika in the next five years, a little short of their share of our population. 

Collins says this is a dangerous path to follow. They should concentrate on food prices and availability.   

But how then should they address ethnic and other imbalances? Concentrating solely on food prices, to the exclusion of staff and customer issues, seems to be an even more dangerous and futile path to follow. With respect, Judith tends to see most situations as  mutually exclusive eithers or ors.  Countdown — and other businesses — can surely do both.   -- ACW
