This e-mail message from FAIR sounded like it could have been an urban legend, but it turns out to be true:

Let's all shop at Sears!!!!!!

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.

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.

It's all well and good to put on a bumper sticker -- 'it's the least you can do.'
But a bumper sticker really is the least you can do.

We can really make a difference if we put our money where our mouth is and support companies that really are 'good corporate citizens.'
