Sun City Residents Protest âNO Voteâ claim on Bylaws changes
Sun City Residents Stonewalled on By-Laws vote by Pulte controlled Board of Directors. Changes to By-law provisions that directly impact resident's economic wellbeing and/or contractual rights are typically brought before an organization's membership to vote on. However, the changes being proposed in Sun City are to be approved by the Developer Controlled Board and Pulte Corporation, without a resident vote. Residents have been frustrated by the processes being followed regarding these fundamental changes and the outright dismissal of the many objections. See Photos |

Wall Street Journal: Pulte Shareholders Rebuke Directors
Pulte executives believe shareholders were protesting the company's system for electing small groups of directors, every three years, as opposed to electing the entire board every year. For years, shareholder activists have criticized companies for holding these staggered, less frequent elections because it can prevent dissident shareholders from gaining sway over a board.The vote is an uncomfortable moment for Bloomfield Hills, Mich.,-based Pulte, which is trying to close its deal to acquire Centex Corp. to become the nation's largest home builder. The $1.3 billion all-stock acquisition is expected to close in the third quarter. See related video: Banks Demolish Houses in Austin... |

The state high court denied the writ of builder Del Webb and subcontractor Anse requesting the removal of more than 700 Sun City Summerlin homeowners from the massive lawsuit. |

Report Claims Pulte Contractors Abusive
The 17-page report was compiled by religious leaders from Chicago- based Interfaith Worker Justice who discovered a "disturbing pattern of injustice and abuse" among contractors used to build homes for Pulte. They visited Pulte developments and talked to workers about a number of problems, including unsafe working conditions, nonpayment of overtime, lack of affordable health care and benefits, and wages so low they had to work 60 to 70 hours a week to make ends meet. "When I worked for Hutchins Drywall, I had a boss who was corrupt and did not have any feelings or respect for the workers," Rangel said. "When I went to get my check at the end of the week, I had to give a kickback of $150 to the foreman. When I went to the office to complain, they started threatening that I would lose my job." |
