The Shareholder Commons urging a vote against Walmart's board chair over wages, 2025
Vote against the re-election of board chair Gregory B. Penner, Item 1j on Walmart's 2025 proxy, because Walmart's failure to pay a living wage exposes its diversified shareholders to economy-wide harm. The Shareholder Commons put Walmart's lowest starting wage at 13 dollars an hour against an average United States living wage of about 23 dollars an hour for a family of four with both adults working.
The Shareholder Commons at Walmart
Establish company wage policies consistent with fiduciary duties that give workers earnings sufficient to meet basic family needs.
The Shareholder Commons at Kroger on a living wage policy, 2024
Establish company wage policies, consistent with fiduciary duties, reasonably designed to provide workers with the minimum earnings necessary to meet a family's basic needs, on the argument that poverty wages harm the economy and so the returns of diversified shareholders.
The Shareholder Commons at Marriott International
Asked the company to address housekeeping starting wages cited at $12.00/hour against a benchmark $20.40/hour living wage, alongside racial-representation gaps in leadership and a large CEO-to-median-worker pay ratio (cited at 346 to 1).
The Shareholder Commons at Tractor Supply Company
Asked the company to address a starting wage described as more than 32% below a 2019 calculation of a living wage, on the argument that poverty wages impose costs (public-assistance reliance, turnover, lower consumer spending) that diversified shareholders ultimately bear.
