Subj: Fwd: Is McKesson Board Complicit in Undermining Business Ethics?

Dear Ms. Rickard,

I believe that the Institute for Legal Reform ought to have as part of its anti-plaintiffs' lawyers arsenal argumentation to the effect that plaintiffs' lawyers undermine business ethics.

Yesterday I sent the below email to the McKesson Corporation directors related to a class action lawsuit that is pending against McKesson. In the email, I urge the directors to reflect on whether their settlement unnecessarily abets the plaintiffs' lawyers in their undermining of business ethics.

If you have any thoughts about this, I would be interested in hearing from you.

Thanks.

Sincerely,
Robert Shattuck

Subj: Is McKesson Board Complicit in Undermining Business Ethics?

To McKesson Corporation Directors:

I am a non-professional objector in class action lawsuits. Part of the reason for this is that I believe class action lawsuits undermine business ethics. My argumentation about this is set forth at length in this article : Does the Law Undermine Business Ethics?

I have seen publicized the settlement that McKesson Corporation has entered into in the class action against it related to drug pricing, the website for which is here: McKessonAWPSettlement.

I hope that the McKesson Board will reflect on whether, by its actions related to the drug pricing class action, the Board is unnecessarily complicit in undermining business ethics.

Thank you.

Sincerely,
Robert Shattuck
