AI Summary

This bill aims to ensure fair worker representation on corporate boards of directors. It proposes amending the state's General Laws to require that not less than two-fifths of a corporation's directors be elected by the corporation's employees through an election process. The directors elected by employees would have the same rights, powers, duties, and responsibilities as directors elected by stockholders. This requirement would only apply to corporations with more than $100 million in gross receipts in a given taxable year.
