Sears Still Supporting Military Families
How does Sears treat its employees who are
called up for military duty? By law, they are
required to hold their jobs open and available,
but nothing more. Usually, people take a big
pay cut and lose benefits as a result of being
called up.
Sears is voluntarily paying
the difference in salaries and maintaining all benefits,
including medical insurance and bonus programs, for all
called up reservist employees for up to two years.
I submit that Sears is an exemplary corporate citizen and
should be recognized for its contribution. I suggest we
all shop at Sears, and be sure to find a manager to tell
them why we are there so the company gets the positive
reinforcement it well deserves.
Pass it on.
I
decided to check this before I sent it forward. So I sent
the following e-mail to the Sears Customer Service
Department:
I received this e-mail
and I would like to know if it is true. If it is, the
Internet may have just become one very good source of
advertisement for your company. I know I would go out of
my way to buy products from Sears instead of another
store for a like item, even if it's cheaper at that
store.
This
is their answer to my e-mail:
Dear Customer:
Thank you for contacting Sears. The information is
factual. We appreciate your positive feedback.
Sears regards service to our country as one of greatest
sacrifices our young men and women can make. We are happy
to do our part to lessen the burden they bear at this
time.
