Corporate and Union Political Activism
Increasingly, we are seeing a rise of corporate and union political activism on foreign policy and broader social issues beyond constituent work interests. What does this mean for workers, shareholders, customers, and staff with views that do not always align with their company's or union's political stances? What are the fiduciary and legal obligations and constraints, if any? Is there a need for a change in public policy? Join a balanced dialogue across corporate law and labor law experts on the handling of these issues. Register Here
Speakers: Prof. Aneil Kovvali, Prof. Edward Rock, John F. Ring, Melinda Holmes, and Rory Lancman
