[QUOTE="10 point, post: 1536578, member: 52520"] Give generously? I'm not sure about your local but that doesn't summarize ours. Giving to the DRIVE fund is not and never has been explained to most members because most don't go to monthly meetings (for multiple reasons...many of them wrong) and NO ONE shows up at our buildings to talk with members prior to start time about DRIVE. EVER. It's a farce if you think most of that $ given to UNITED WAY is from the bargaining unit members because management is giving the lion's share of what's boasted about. A DRIVE employee showed up at our building to pass out contract info after the first vote on the CBA failed and you would have thought he was a Buckingham Palace guard because he wouldn't talk to anyone about the contract and just stoically stood stone faced at the front door. Great DRIVE spokesman. Great way to engage folks to reciprocate support of DRIVE. Highlighting my statement about lack of involvement in local meetings won't diffuse the argument about our local or DRIVE. People here are tired of hearing one thing at the meetings and seeing something else in hearings. I'm not negative. I'm factual. [/QUOTE]
