Members of the Denver City Council are questioning an agreement to bring a Chick-fil-A restaurant to Denver International Airport. (Denver Post file)
Re: “Questioning Denver City Council’s opposition to Chick-fil-A at DIA,” Aug. 22 letters to the editor.
Chick-fil-A has continually stated that the corporation does not discriminate against employees. But in fact, according to Forbes magazine, the company has been sued at least a dozen times for employment discrimination. Forbes also stated that Chick-Fil-A would have faced more suits if it didn’t screen potential hires so rigorously by going through a year-long vetting process with dozens of interviews that can last as long as five hours. Potential franchise operators also had to answer questions regarding their marital status, number of dependents, as well as church affiliation.
I applaud some members of the Denver City Council for opposing the application for a Chick-fil-A at Denver International Airport. Denver and DIA can do a lot better in finding a more inclusive, reputable and truly welcoming vendor that we can all be proud of.
