Occupy Activists Protest GE Shareholders' Meeting 
--------------------------------------------------


 
Dozens of protesters affiliated with the Occupy movement rallied in
Detroit on Wednesday at the annual shareholders meeting of the corporate
giant General Electric. A group of 100 demonstrators made it inside the
meeting to disrupt the opening proceedings. The protesters chanted "Pay
Your Fair Share," a reference to GE's notoriously low tax rate. It was
the second consecutive day to see an Occupy protest at a shareholders
meeting, following one on Tuesday against the banking giant Wells Fargo
in San Francisco.
