After a tumultuous year, Google workers and investors plan to press for change at shareholders meeting by jillianiles
Alphabet employees are publicly aligning themselves with four other proposals aside from Zevin’s: One to ban forced non-disclosure agreements in all harassment and discrimination cases, one to rescind executive compensation in the event of misconduct, one to put an non-executive employee on the board, and one to publish a human rights impact assessment about Google’s plans in China.
NorthStar Asset Management has filed a proposal for the last four years that recommends switching to a system with equal voting rights for shareholders. Although the resolution will likely fail again this year, a firm representative says that it's seen non-insider voter support rise to nearly 90%. Another governance-related proposal came from CtW Investment Group, which submitted the resolution about having a non-executive employee on the board of directors.
