Way to go SEARS

[Emery]

Subject: Sears and the Military

I hope you have heard the reports about how Sears is treating its
reservist employees who are called up?

If not... here's the scoop.

By law, employers are required to hold their reservists 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.

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 this on.

Someone who received this decided to check it out before forwarding and
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 proucts from
Sears instead of another store for a like item even if it wascheaper at
the other store.
Here is their answer to that 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,
