Human Resources sent out "The Letter" today saying that gunbuster signs will be posted tomorrow banning weapons not only from the offices but all company property. I have composed an email but have not sent it yet.
I have edited out the name of the company. You will see references to "The shooting pit". We used to have an employee maintained range on company property but it was closed down after an employee was injured by an ND. It may or may not re-open, that's up to the board of directors
"21st Century Leadership" is a company management style they've been touting for several years now. the quote in the letter is taken from the HR reps email signature line.
Here's the draft of my letter:
I understand a desire to exclude firearms from being brought into the offices and buildings, but if I were a licensed permit holder under the Kansas Personal and Family Protection Act I would hope that I would be allowed to leave my firearm secured in my vehicle on those occasions when I chose to exercise my right to carry while en route to and from work.
If hunting is allowed to continue on company property and the shooting pit would be reopened, this policy will also cause a major inconvenience for those employees that wish to take target practice or go hunting after working hours.
While 21st Century Leadership emphasizes trust among the people of (Company name), the policy appears to be contrary to that ideal.
"(Company name) people value, and expect one another to behave in ways that consistently exhibit the characteristics of technical competency, respect and dignity, accountability, integrity, trustworthiness, and servant leadership. We believe the consistent application of these core values in reaching the "best answer" in all cases will best enable us to fulfill our mission statement of providing reliable, long-term power supply and transmission services to our Member-owners at the lowest possible cost consistent with sound business and cooperative principles”.
I guess my question would be, is the policy set in stone or is there a chance for compromise?
