Go straight to an HR manager. Not part timer or a specialist. If that doesn't help call the corperate hotline, that will fix this problem. Telling your supervisor won't do much. All he will do is go to HR. I don't know how it is in other buildings but in my building the Nassau Hub management is forced to donate to the united way. They are also forced to try and get us union people to donate. No matter how many times we say no they keep coming back to try. Again there is nothing wrong with donating. I donate to several charities. I just don't trust UPS. They break a lot of laws and I don't feel comfortable giving them money for charity. And because I have a union I have that right. IF UPS management can't fix the problem I would start making calls to the union hall or local news station or politician. At some point what goes on between the brown walls needs to be exposed.
Hoaxter, you are slipping. Let me help
ANTI-SOCKS...
Anyhow. I highly doubt management in Nassau are "forced" to contribute, as that would be a rather easily provable violation of at least a couple laws. I have no doubt they are highly encouraged to donate, but if they do not have the stones to see the difference, they really should not be in management in the first place.
Which brings me to another point. Yes, you do have the right not to contribute money through UPS, and you have the right to not be retaliated against for exercising your right not to donate. Both of these come from federal laws. Not from your union membership. There are millions of non-union workers (including UPS management) who share that right.
Saying you have that right because you have a union is like saying you have the right to breath air because you have a union. Both are quite silly if you take a minute and actually think logically about them. However, my sense is that when it comes to statements that are either Pro-Teamsters, or Anti-UPS management, you stopped thinking logically a long time ago.
On a positive note, I think your advice about going straight to an HR manager is aces.
