NORDSTROM ENDORSES MARRIAGE EQUALITY

NORDSTROM ENDORSES MARRIAGE EQUALITY | In an email to 56,000 employees, nationwide, the Seattle-based Nordstrom announced its support for marriage equality. The company’s executives — all three eponymous members of the Nordstrom family — wrote “It is our belief that our gay and lesbian employees are entitled to the same rights and protections marriage provides under the law as our other employees. We also believe supporting freedom to marry will help us create a more attractive and inclusive workplace for our current and prospective employees. Again — this decision is consistent with our long-time philosophy of inclusivity and equality for our customers and employees.” Washington State voters will vote on Referendum 74 next month, which would enact marriage equality in the Evergreen State.

The company had gone away from that, but seem to be coming back to it's roots. One of my most cherished pieces of clothing during my life was a Nordstrom, USA made sweater. I wore that sweater to rags.

I've always liked Nordstrom. It's expensive, yes. But pay attention at Christmas. They'll have great sales with free shipping guaranteed to arrive in time. It's wonderful for late gift buyers They also have Nordstrom Rack which is fantastic. Now I have another reason to love the store.

I shopped JC Penney recently because of Ellen and found some really nice things. Although the store was undergoing remodeling so it was a challenge. But, I was determined and once I got my bearings I got some good deals.
