[QUOTE="Mike23, post: 574221"] I refuse to pay into something UPS asks me to for multiple reason. 1. It's hypocritical of them since it's their own policy not to ask for funds from other drivers. We had a driver in our depot who's wife has cancer and one of our stewards came up and asked for a bit of cash to help the guy out. Of course I gave, the driver's one of our own. If UPS found out about it though he'd be in tons of crap. 2. UPS looks after others before looking after its own employees. In a time when people are being terminated for the most minor of offenses I'm going to horde my money the best I can just in case. Maybe if we weren't worried about being the 'offense of the week' and getting terminated I may donate some. 3. Last year I volunteered for that Christmas junk. I remember going to a home with two girls in it. One was around 20 and the other MAYBE 16. Apparently their mother was a former UPS employee and the kids still lived with her. We were talking about things and the 20 year old goes, 'I'm going to surprise my mother at Christmas and announce my pregnancy'. Well, ok, congrats. The sixteen year old says, 'yeah, me too!' Why would I help people this stupid? There was also a couple that JUST bought a house. The idiots didn't plan financially and were barely making payments on it so we bought them all this lovely furniture and such. If you're going to donate to an organization, donate to your local Lions Club. If people need help with them it's a matter of asking a Lions Club member and then ALL the members vote on if the person should get what they need, not just some shmuck behind a desk. [/QUOTE]
