Shareholder Proposals
Item 4
Commission an independent third-party assessment of SkyWest’s alignment with ILO freedom-of-association and collective-bargaining standards.
This proposal, submitted by As You Sow on behalf of LongView 600 Small Cap Index Fund, asks SkyWest’s board to hire an independent third party to prepare a report assessing whether the company’s policies and practices align with the International Labour Organization’s Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work. The requested report is to be prepared at reasonable cost and to exclude proprietary information. Proponents cite recent legal disputes (including allegations concerning the SkyWest Inflight Association and related Department of Labor action), broader public support for unions, and potential risks to brand, employee relations and operational performance as rationale for the review. The proposal is framed as a governance and human-rights–related assessment to increase investor confidence in SkyWest’s approach to freedom of association and collective bargaining.
