 Posted: Wed Jan 30, 2013 10:46 pm Post subject: GOODYEARS ANTI GUN POLICIES |
 |
An email I received from a mate in NY this morning:
Morning All
For those of you active in LE, have a permit or believe in the 2nd Amendment please read the anti-gun. policy of Goodyear. This policy applies to off-duty LE personal and I'm sure to anybody with peace officer status in NY.
I am a strong supporter of BUY AMERICAN but will make a big exception in the future because of this policy.
I normally don't fight other people battles, but also don't shop where I'm not wanted.
Trust me, I sent them a stinging letter regarding this!

To: xxxxxxxxxxxxxx @ gmail.com
Thank you for contacting our web site and for voicing your concerns. In an effort to ensure the safety and security of our associates and customers, we have had a clear company policy regarding weapons in the workplace, since 2004. The Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co. prohibits all persons who enter Company property from carrying a handgun, firearm, or prohibited weapon of any kind onto the property regardless of whether the person is licensed to carry the weapon or not. Exceptions apply to on-duty law enforcement personnel. This policy applies to all Company employees, visitors, customers, and contractors on Company property -- including our Company owned stores. All Company properties have received a decal or sign referencing this policy, and have been instructed to post it.

That excludes a lot of business in Texas. Will have to check next time I go by one of their stores.

Sorry, but concealed is concealed. Here in Missouri all they can do is ask us to leave.

 Now that sign says CONSEALED-not any firearms.In oregon that might be grounds with a good sheister attourney for a lawsuit against goodyear for not properly posting the details!
On another note goodyear can go "F" itself along with costco as I don't do business with them either due to it's CC policies!
Les schwab tires is an oregon corp,and gun friendly.

No big loss to me - I don't care for their products but I wonder if anyone has told NASCAR or the teams about this yet?
anyone know how to get in touch with them?

Goodyear have had this policy for almost a decade & the email response from Barbara is word for word the one used back in 2005.
Goodyear also caved in to the noise nazis in the EU & stopped selling the best dual purpose tyres I've ever used on the truck.
So now I shop for alternatives.
