DEI trainings are like .0001% of what DEI professionals are trying to do. Many people in that industry don’t even believe it’s helpful. These DEI trainings are there because corporations like to check a box and pat themselves on the back.
My wife does this for a living. She works for herself running her own consulting firm, only works for clients willing to take it seriously and fires clients that simply want to pat themselves on the back. She looks at the entire institution, how it’s structured, policies and procedures, recruiting practices, employee treatment, pay equity, talks to dozens of people all over the institution. It’s a full audit of how a company works. Then she makes long term structural recommendations to improve the working environment for everyone, including you.
I don’t pretend to know even 5% of her job tbh. But usually when people talk about DEI, I find they have a gripe with something that’s only tangentially related to their field and usually the fault of the business, not really DEI.

But yes everyone should unionize.
