Other than education, does UPS/Teamster offer any financial assistance, per-say emergency loans, etc?
Don't count on the United Way helping you. We had a driver that tried to get some help out of them but they said he didn't qualify because he made too much. That came back to bite them because after that about half the work crew refused to donate. They even quit coming to our building to give a presentation at their yearly drive time.No - but is it something the United Way could help you with?

Ditto here too. Heard a story about a driver. Wonder if it was the same driver or a different one.. Like I have said before, I used to give to the UW and stopped in 91 or 92 when the top guy was skimming funds or something to that effect. That was enough for me to stop, once bitten twice shy..Hear a little too many stories like this.What a fn shame
Thanks for the replies. As for United Way, my mother donated approx. $15k over the years of her employment history, and when my grandfather was diagnosed with Asbestos poisioning she requested help. As times were rough for a family of 8 children, household of 10 they needed assistance, in early 80's. All they asked from UW was for a cane and a few things for accesibility. Basically laughed in her face... I only found this out about 2 weeks ago, after I been donating since the 1st of the year. How can I go about withdrawing from this??
