Last week, Amazon’s board urged opposing a shareholder proposal geared toward increasing the board’s diversity. This week, they’Id changed their song.
Following outcry from workers, shareholders, and even Congress, Amazon’s board has reversed the earlier decision against the adoption of their “Rooney Rule,” as proposed by CtW Investment Group. The principle would require the board to interview at least one minority or woman for each opening.
