[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 323883, member: 12570"] I was military before I came to UPS and we had a mandate for 100% participation from our troops so the donation money from those who chose not to donate was made up by the NCOs. I am unaware as to whether this happens at UPS or not but it wouldn't surprise me. I know I will catch a lot of flak for this but I faithfully support the United Way each year to the tune of $25/week (yes, $1,300 per year). I designate 100% to go to the local Hospice, as they do wonderful work with those people who are nearing the end of their lives, and, I will also admit, I deduct this amount on my taxes and recoup $325 so it is a win-win for both the Hospice, as they get the full $1,300, and for me as I get some of it back. (Thanks, W) I do not endorse some of the tactics UPS uses to solicit donations but, having said that, I have a hard believing that a driver making $28.20 per hour cannot afford to donate $1 or $2 per week if, for nothing else, just to shut management up. They probably spend at last that much on lottery tickets. [/QUOTE]
