Exxon To Vote On Gay Rights Measure

[racaulk]

(New York City) Shareholders in ExxonMobil, the only major U.S. company to rescind a non-discrimination policy covering sexual orientation, will vote this month on a proposal to reinstate the job guarantees.

The company's annual meeting will be held on May 31.

This month shareholders at two other major corporations that include gay rights in their policies, American Express and Ford, defeated attempts to drop its protections for LGBT workers. (story) In both cases the companies recommended voting down the measures.

But for six years shareholders at Exxon have agreed with a company position that protections for its LGBT workers are not needed.
