At a time when it is all to common to hear about big layoff and outsourcing for the increased bottom line this is worth our attention.Z

I assume you have all seen the reports about how Sears is treating its
reservist employees who are called up to 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.

So I decided to check it out before I sent it forward. I sent the following
email to the Sears Customer Service Department:

I received this email 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
store. 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 was cheaper at the other store.

Here is their answer to my email.....................

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.

Please pass this on to all your friends, Sears needs to be recognized for
this outstanding contribution and we need to show them as Americans, we do
appreciate what they are doing for our military!!!!!! !! !!!

I heard they started this right after the 9-11 attacks when their people were called up. I also think there are a few other companies doing the same.
