    United Way

    what is the point of the company making such a big deal over this charity?
    it doesn't help our profits any, it doesn't improve our daily lives, so why the big deal? bragging rights??

    also, why United Way? why not the Annie Casey Foundation, a charity founded by our own founder, Jim Casey?

    It's good publicity and PR.
    UPS has Community Involvement as one of it's Mission Statements.
    UW is as good a charity as any when it comes to National recognition.
    I have supported UW for over 25 years and have no regrets.
    I engage by posting when and where I desire ... and when I find others not complying with the TOS, I do not post, but I do Moderate.

    Re: United Way

    Our parking lot has "united way only" parking spots.The escalades and bmw's fit nicely.
    Don't get me wrong,I support them although minimally.but I think we should have a choice
    where our money goes.I'd give mine to the sally ann if I had a choice.
    My opinions do not reflect that of UPS.Getting old sucks.

    I make a little over $800 a month. I should look into getting something out of United Way instead of giving them anything.

    It happens to be the same number who ship with UPS because:
    1) UPS sponsors a NASCAR team
    2) UPS sponsors Westbrook in golf
    3) UPS uses Teamster represented employees
    4) UPS holds back Management compensation for over a year and pays it as MIP and RSUs
    5) UPS uses vehicles without 3 point seat belt systems
    6) UPS provides health plan benefits to their employees

    People who use UPS, do so because it provides a service that has value for the price offered.
