WASHINGTON (REUTERS) - Goodyear Tire chief rxecutive Rich Kramer said on Thursday (Aug 20) the company had clarified its policy to make clear employees can wear apparel expressing support for law enforcement after it faced a boycott call from US President Donald Trump.
The Republican president, who is seeking a second term in office, told reporters on Wednesday he would swap out the Goodyear tires on his presidential limousine if there were an alternative.
Goodyear on Thursday said it had a longstanding policy of asking employees of refraining from working place expressions of support for any political candidates.
