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