(Reuters) – Institutional Shareholder Services, a proxy advisory firm, on Thursday threw its support behind Starbucks Corp by recommending that investors elect all of management’s directors instead of a group of labor unions’ nominees.
The Strategic Organizing Center (SOC), a coalition of North American labor unions, last year nominated three director candidates amid an ongoing battle between the coffee chain and its employees over pay, among other things.
