Although shareholders are seemingly up in arms against the skyrocketing CEO pay, the fervor hasn't translated into much action at the companies. Recent figures from expert groups such as RiskMetrics and Corporate Library reveal a very bleak picture for the 'say on pay' proposals triggered by shareholder activists so far this year. Halfway past through the annual shareholder-meeting season this year, say on pay proposals on executive pay packages have failed to generate widespread support. According to Corporate Library, a watchdog on corporate governance, out of the nine proposals approved so far in 2008 only two have been adopted, while in 2007 at least three companies had adopted the shareholder's non-binding advisory vote. The two companies, which have adopted the proposals, are Apple and Tech Data Corporation.
