NY comptroller pushes transgender corporate rights
The Associated Press:
Texas-based oil giant Exxon Mobil Corp. stockholders will vote Wednesday on a proposed company policy to ban discrimination against gay or transgender workers, a shareholder resolution pushed by New York Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli.
Using the $150 billion state pension fund’s stock portfolio as influence, the comptroller’s office said it has helped persuade 27 other big corporations to agree to new nondiscrimination policies, though several previous attempts at Exxon Mobil have failed.
Blah blah free market, blah blah already sufficient antidiscrimination policy, blah blah. Good on DiNapoli for throwing some weight around for the cause of treating people like people.
