Employers Stand By Guardsmen Pay Amid War Strain
New York Governor Whitman authorized AG Woodbury to advise guardsmen families as more employers choose to continue full or partial salaries during National Guard service. Firms like A. T. Hung Ford Brass and Copper and United States Tire Company pledge continued pay, with some offering extra benefits such as group life insurance and extended vacation for those serving. Numerous other employers listed commit to maintaining salaries or substantial portions for soldiers, despite financial pressures and pending federal aid.
