[QUOTE="JonFrum, post: 762062, member: 18044"] It's against the law for UPS to give anything of value to a union official. That's why UPS gets censured when they snuggle too close with Hoffa. However, as a union official, employed by the Union, you are [U]on[/U] [U]leave[/U] from UPS, so you are still considered a UPS employee as well. The stock discount is available to all UPSers who choose to take advantage, so you are not being singled out for favorable treatment. It isn't a bribe. There is no quid pro quo. UPS wouldn't even necessarily know you took advantage of the discount, to what extent, or how often. So my [U]educated[/U] [U]guess[/U] is that you still get the discount. But why would you want to buy UPS stock? If you've regularly walked along the seashore for the past decade and saw pieces of driftwood dead in the water, occasionally being lifted or lowered by the waves and the tides, do you say, "That reminds me, I need to purchase more UPS stock?" :wink2: [/QUOTE]
