The SOC and SEIU, along with their nominees, aim to address these issues and protect long-term shareholder value by advocating for meaningful change in Starbucks' human capital management policies. The proxy statement and BLUE proxy card are being mailed to shareholders around the date of the announcement. The SOC and SEIU hold a minority of shares and are encouraging shareholders to vote 'FOR' their nominees and 'WITHHOLD' votes from certain incumbent directors whom they oppose, citing the need for improved oversight and management strategies.
