Goodyear Tire Chief Executive Rich Kramer said Thursday 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 President Trump.
The Republican president, who is seeking a second term in office, told reporters 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.
Trump said it was “disgraceful” that the company would prevent employees from wearing attire supporting the ‘Blue Lives Matter’ movement that supports law enforcement, while allowing support for other causes.
Goodyear said a widely circulated image created by a plant employee that triggered the controversy was not created or distributed by the company’s corporate group.
