[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 651329, member: 12570"] Paul, please thank your wife for me for all of your hard work. I quoted this sentence as I don't think it is entirely accurate. Yes, UPS does match our contribution, but I believe it is matched by a single donation to United Way, not 350,000 or so individual donations to specific charities. Can you imagine the logistical nightmare of trying to do that? For example, I donate mine to the local Hospice while a co-worker donates his to the Boy Scouts. UPS would match our donations but that money would go to UW to use as they see fit. The UW discussion was beaten to death in an earlier thread. We all have our personal reasons as to why we choose or don't choose to donate. The one reason that I hate hearing is that the employee is mad at UPS so they refuse to donate to UW. Why hurt the charity just because you think your boss is a maroon? When I was military we always got 100% participation. If an airman chose not to donate the NCOs would simply pitch in to make up the difference in his name. Bingo, 100% participation! I do not see how $1 per week would break anyone's budget. [/QUOTE]
