NCCI Changes Position, Gives Employees American Flags
(Boca Raton, FL) NCCI Holdings, Inc., today announced that it has changed its position on flags in its workplace and offered any employees who wanted them American flags and red-white-and-blue lapel ribbons as they entered the workplace this morning.
President & CEO Bill Schrempf said he was meeting with employees this morning to explain the company's change and apologize for not permitting them to display the American flag on Friday during the National Day of Prayer and Remembrance.
In announcing the change, Schrempf indicated that NCCI's senior management team met over the weekend and decided to reverse the company's longstanding position, which had been intended to protect employees.
This morning, the company took the following actions concerning the display of the American flag by its employees:
1. Any interested employee can display an American flag on their desktop. Flags will be provided for this purpose, if employees would like to have one to display.
2. Red, white & blue lapel remembrance ribbons are being provided for those who want to wear them.
For general NCCI information, contact Michael Bullard, Chief Communications Officer, 561-893-2080, or Greg Quinn, Media Relations Coordinator, at 607-723-7878.
Too bad for them it won't get as much publicity as the original ban.
Idiots.
Time to call off the hounds now.
It does not count if you need your backsides roasted to make you do it!!!
I know that at least 50 people on my contact list emailed them and let them know their outrage.
I can only imagine that a few thousand FReepers did the same.
After I had sent each one of their executives two pictures of a Flag.
If a few more did that, could have crapped out their mail servers.
Not I am not reformatting it. Tain't worth the effort from this people.
NCCI reversed its longstanding policy over the weekend. See note below.
