Anyone know what this payroll deduction is for? I show the following deductions on my paychecks: 401K, United Way'13, UnionDue and Drive. The first three make sense, but what is Drive? It started in April.
I heard it takes an act of GOD to get rid of it.
I went to my local about 5 years ago and said I had enough of this D.I.V.E crap!!Yes I knows its DRIVE but it should be called DIVE!!....Give me the form and about 20 more for the rest of my co-workers. We all opted out.!!!!!You have to go down to your Local to withdraw from it. You will get the third degree over wanting out of it too. The lady told me that I was "A greedy UPS driver for not wanting to donate money to the DNC." Her exact words.
If you give 5 bucks a week you get a sweet satin jacket with your local on it.

Now that I'm retired, they need to get it from someone else. Might as well be you.

D.R.I.V.E is the Teamsters Political Action Committee, and the only your voluntary contributions go toward political activities not your dues (wait, that's not what Hannity told me!). Read up on Teamster history and you will see that they supported candidates from all different parties, including Republicans. Same as the NRA giving money to Democrats Begich, Heitcamp, Baucus, & Pryor for voting NO on the latest incarnation of an assault weapons ban (Reid did too but only for procedural reasons). The criteria is support for Labor & that's you.
If you don't want to give, that's fine, but you should be asking the candidates you give money to why they aren't helping you by supporting labor isssues. Support for the working man is at it's lowest level ever in this Country since we outlawed slavery so I would encourage everyone to give something to DRIVE because we need our voice to be heard. Sure, it happens to flow to mostly Democrats now but they usually only pay lipservice to Labor because more comes from other special interest groups. If we were the fat cow giving lots of milk any Party wanting some of that cash would be putting our issues on the front burner.
Perhaps we should start a fund to help supplement our retirees income.
