Voters in Switzerland have defeated a measure that would have limited the pay of top corporate executives. The “1:12 Initiative for Fair Play” would have capped CEO salaries at no more than 12 times that of their lowest-paid employees. Sixty-five percent of voters defeated the measure in Sunday’s referendum. Business groups mounted a major PR campaign against the proposal in recent weeks after initial polls showed it had a chance of passage.
