Coca-Cola's Exclusive 'Women Only' Retreat Ruins Men's Feelings and Federal Laws
KEY POINTS
- ā¢Coca-Cola Northeast held a women-only networking retreat in Connecticut in September 2024, paying attendees their regular wages without requiring time off.
- ā¢The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission sued Coca-Cola for violating Title VII of the Civil Rights Act by excluding male employees from the event.
- ā¢This lawsuit is the first workplace anti-discrimination case filed by the EEOC during President Trump's second term and aligns with ongoing discrimination probes at Nike and Northwestern Mutual.
In an inspiring move toward empowering female employees, Coca-Cola Northeast decided to throw a lavish two-day, women-only networking retreat in Connecticut this September 2024. Guests escaped normal work duties while continuing to earn full pay, no vacation days stolen! However, men in Bedford, New Hampshire, headquarters apparently didnāt get the invite ā a Federal injustice spotlighted by the EEOC during President Trumpās unusual second term. The EEOC, led by Andrea Lucas from the Boston area, bravely swung their legal bottle opener to pop a lawsuit against Coca-Cola for allegedly flirting with federal anti-discrimination law violations under the illustrious Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Meanwhile, EEOC is juggling extra hot DEI cake by probing Nike and Northwestern Mutual for what must be a very spicy discrimination stew.

Coca-Cola planned a women-only paid trip, forgot men existed, and now federal law is thirstier than a soda pop. Equality, but only if youāre invited to the party.
Coca-Cola throws a free women-only party, and the men start crying into their unpaid soda cans. Equally sweet, less tasty.
Nothing says diversity like excluding one gender entirely while paying the other full price to have fun. Title VII didn't RSVP.
