Rule Comments,
I am very concerned about the proposed changes regarding shareholder proposals. Per the AF-CIO the following points emphasize the reasons to keep the current procedures in place:
"Working people are invested in companies through our retirement savings. We depend on shareholder proposals as part of a democratic process that holds corporate CEOs accountable. "
"These shareholder proposals encourage companies to act more responsibly on important social policy issues such as reforming executive pay, respecting human rights and protecting the environment."
Thank you for listening to my concerns.
