I didn't know who Business Roundtable was. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_Roundtable https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_Roundtable They're a group of CEOs that has lobbied against union protections, against antitrust legislation, and against increased powers for shareholders over CEOs and boards. So this seems like a bit of a departure from their usual policy, unless the real goal is to transfer power from shareholders not to the general public but to the CEOs and boards.

In that case, it may reflect well on a business if their CEO didn't sign because they weren't member in the first place. They have a list of members here: https://www.businessroundtable.org/about-us/members https://www.businessroundtable.org/about-us/members So far, I've just found one company among the non-signatories I listed whose CEO is a member (Virginia M Rometty of IBM). Micro, Qualcom, Oracle, Comcast, and Texas Instruments' CEOs are also member-signatories.
