PricewaterhouseCoopers workers rebel
Article Abstract:
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP employees said that they refuse to follow the company's new program to drop investments that they may own in the firm's corporate audit clients. Pricewaterhouse ordered employees on the managerial level and above and who work with US clients to sell off their investments. The move comes as the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) ruled that Coopers violated SEC rules.
