Unions and activists who wanted to change corporate policy had to do it the "old fashioned way:" lobby law makers, public pressure, and forcing boycotts.
The Securities and Exchange Commission last Wednesday handed out a "New Weapon" to fight social justice and workers rights issues: The corporate ballot box. This allows shareholders to field their own candidates for corporate boards.
Grassroots and the corporate world? Perhaps this kind of change could grow legs and create a whole new perspective in other corporations.
