The Company will promptly and thoroughly investigate all reports or threats of (or
               actual) violence and of suspicious individuals or activities. The identity of the
               individual making the report will be protected to the greatest extent that is reasonably
               possible. Anyone determined to be responsible for violence or threats of violence or
               other conduct that is in violation of these guidelines will be subject to prompt
               disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment, and/or criminal
               prosecution of the person or persons involved.

               The Company encourages employees to bring their disputes or differences with other
               employees to the attention of their Supervisor or other members of management
               before the situation escalates into potential violence. The Company is eager to assist
               in the resolution of employee disputes, and will not discipline employees for raising
               such concerns.



               8. A WORD ABOUT UNIONS
               While the Company recognizes that labor unions may have been necessary in the
               past and may be necessary elsewhere to assure employees the benefits of their
               work, we do not believe that unions are necessary at GOJO. We have established
               policies and practices to help maintain an open, positive work environment. We meet
               our responsibility to provide safe conditions, compensation, and benefits. We work
               for effective two-way communications and operate our Company so there is not a
               need for a union.

               At GOJO, joining a union is not a condition of employment. It is quite possible,
               however, that one or more unions may approach you and try to persuade you to sign
               a card requesting union representation. While the decision is yours, you have a right
               not to sign a card. Because GOJO assumes its responsibilities in providing good
               working conditions, we think signing a card is unnecessary. The union's approach
               generally is one of making "promises" and raising expectations. But making promises
               and making good on them are two different things.

               The presence of a union would be of no advantage to any of us. It could hinder our
               efforts to operate as efficiently as possible. Our environment is beneficial, both the
               physical environment and our personal relationships--and we want to keep it that
               way.

               Each of us at GOJO is encouraged to deal directly with each other about work and
               personal problems, without any interference by a third party. Numerous people and
               problem-solving mechanisms are available for you to voice concerns and develop
               corrective action. Depending on what you need to discuss, take steps to talk with
               your supervisor, work group manager, HROD staff, or the President.                     Employment
                                                                                                      Information
               In short, GOJO has a history of good relationships with its employees and will         P a g e  | 9
               continue the tradition of commitment to that principle for its employees. We're not
               perfect. But we think it's important to keep a sense of perspective and balance. We
               try to keep focus on our Company's overall record so that an occasional experience
               does not sour the otherwise consistently fine practices we work hard to maintain. On
               balance, we achieve a far better-than-average record of fine working conditions for
               us.
