While I wouldn't want to see it made into law, it seems like responsible corporate citizenship.

I work for a similar employer.
I also agree that it should not be mandatory.
What is mandatory is signing a contract committing to your national guard or reservist responsibility which could very well involve activation and deployment. This righteous indignation of a burden placed on those who volunteered and signed up KNOWING the implications is concerning to me.
Good for the city of Cedarburg. Nicely done. Hopefully they can afford it.
