Rdutch 0 #1 March 25, 2003 After reading about Pep Boys firing someone due to being called to duty, I wrote them a letter informing them that if this is true they would no longer be serving me. Here is the reply: Thank you for your inquiry regarding recent press reports concerning a former Pep Boys employee who filed a lawsuit against Pep Boys alleging termination due to military obligations. We are confident that no inappropriate actions have been taken toward this or any Pep Boys associate due to his or her military obligations. At the present time, more than 30 Pep Boys associates have been called to active duty and are now serving. We would never terminate an employee for military service in support of our nation and are very proud, not only of our associates currently serving in the military, but also of every U.S. service man and woman who has ever served. Our policy grants leaves of absence to our associates for military duty and we are in full compliance with, and in some areas exceed, state and federal laws. The policy is consistent with the guidelines of the Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve, a volunteer organization serving reserve and guard members. While it is not our practice to comment on ongoing litigation and personnel matters, this particular employee's termination, on June 27, 2002, was unrelated to his military reserve status and solely related to other factors dating back to the summer of 2001. Our prayers and thoughts are with our troops and their families in this tenuous time and we offer them our support and gratitude. Ray Small and fast what every girl dreams of!
