A global investor group has sent letters to S&P 100 companies asking them how they ensure rights for their U.S. workers. The international coalition of major institutional investors manage $757 billion across the global economy. Steve Heim of Boston Common Asset management says the Employee Free Choice Act is highlighting the need to better understand a company’s position and workplace policies regarding unions. The investors group says it recognizes that constructive and positive labor relations are critical to a company’s long-term success.
