Comerica Faces $30M Discrimination Lawsuit Over Alleged DEI Quotas

A $30 million employment discrimination lawsuit has been filed against Comerica Inc. in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan. The suit alleges that Comerica operated an unlawful Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion program that imposed strict demographic quotas, bypassed merit-based hiring, and tied management compensation to the fulfillment of these quotas. The plaintiff, James Spilko, a white male and former Vice President at Comerica, claims he was denied nearly 30 promotions over five years despite strong performance reviews. The lawsuit seeks damages for alleged violations of federal and state discrimination laws and comes as Comerica prepares for its scheduled acquisition by Fifth Third Bancorp on February 1, 2026.
