Dollar General shareholders vote to review safety policies after 49 deaths in a decade

The third-party audit should evaluate “management and business practices that contribute to an unsafe or violent environment” the resolution said. It said that “understaffing and poor security measures at Dollar General stores may also contribute to increased risk of gun violence to staff and communities.” The vote to audit the company’s practices was a rebuke to Dollar General’s leadership and a sign of growing pressure on the fast-growing retailer to improve workplace safety.

The Labor Department has proposed more than $21 million in fines against Dollar General since 2017 for safety hazards in stores, such as blocked fire exits and electrical outlets and boxes stacked up aisles. The agency deemed Dollar General a “severe violator” of workplace safety laws last year. Dollar General’s board of directors had recommended shareholders vote against the resolution, which was introduced by progressive investment firm Domini Impact Investments and worker advocacy groups.
