WASHINGTON, Oct. 1, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- In a major rebuke to the board, more than 62 percent of FedEx Corp. (NYSE:FDX) shares voted in favor of a shareholder resolution filed by the Teamsters and As You Sow, a shareholder advocacy group, demanding greater transparency of FedEx's lobbying activities. The resolution saw its support more than doubled from last year, reflecting growing investor concern for the surreptitious ways companies like FedEx are influencing public policy. Meanwhile, Teamster led concerns over the board's decision to allow executives to 'double-dip' on bonuses amid the pandemic prompted nearly a quarter of shares to oppose FedEx's executive pay plan. "FedEx needs to be honest with its shareholders over how it is using their money to lobby for controversial and divisive policies – it is that simple," said Teamsters General Secretary-Treasurer Ken Hall.
