Comment on Investors in farm equipment maker Deere reject anti-DEI resolution

Chip_Rat@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

Ok so being dyslexic in this heelscape is difficult. Would anyone be willing to explain what anti-“pro-dei” proposal against a counter proposal was approved to deny the shareholders what the company thought was good/bad?

More specifically, can someone explain is a bit more clearly:

"During a webcast of its annual meeting, executives with the farm equipment maker said only 1.3% of votes cast were in support of a resolution calling on the company to report on racial and gender hiring statistics “to prove it does not practice discrimination.” "

Maybe I’m confused…yeah. just maybe I’m confused.
