Amazon's success relies on the hard work of its 1.6 million workers. Yet the board is failing to provide adequate oversight of the company’s management of workforce issues. I urge shareholders to join us in voting against two directors responsible for that oversight.

Amazon's Board of Directors is failing to hold management accountable for oversight of worker health & safety issues. Today, all five NYC Retirement Systems & Tom DiNapoli are launching a campaign urging shareholders to VOTE AGAINST the re-elections of two board members.

Shareholders have spoken! 49% of Abbott investors voted in favor of our anti-insider trading proposal to add proper safeguards to prevent company execs from leveraging non-public info for their own benefit. The onus is now on the board to act. thecorporatecounsel.net/blog/2022/05/r…

As shareholders we take our portfolio companies' approach to human capital management seriously. We applaud Microsoft for its non-interference and response to worker organizing interest. Kudos to ZeniMax staff and CWA for this victory! cnbc.com/2023/01/03/mic…

We are pleased that $AAPL has agreed to a 3rd party assessment. It's critical that it addresses #Apple's non-interference commitments, is performed by a qualified independent assessor, includes stakeholder input, and includes its global operations and supply chain. #LaborRights

As the only recipient of the Wilson Prize for High-Energy Particle Accelerator Physics serving in Congress, it can get lonely. Not anymore!

JUST IN: A majority of #StarbucksShareholders voted YES on our proposal for the board to conduct an independent assessment of management's response to worker organizing. Shareholders have spoken, the onus is on Starbucks board to respond.

Starbucks's anti-union behavior continues unabated. Shareholders were clear and called on Starbucks's Board to commission an independent assessment of its compliance with its human rights commitments, particularly the right to form or join a union. Where is the Board?
