Gap's Annual Meeting Overshadowed by Bangladesh Safety Accord

Gap got an earful Tuesday during its annual shareholder meeting about not living up to its reputation as a socially responsible company. The San Francisco retailer received over 20,000 calls and plenty of hate mail from disgruntled customers around the world who are angry over its failure to sign onto an international agreement calling for building safety in Bangladesh, where recent factory accidents killed 1,100 workers. Another 50 protesters from labor groups like Global Exchange and International Labor Rights Forum picked outside the retailer's shareholder meeting.
