[First Amendment]

Regarding the United Way, a friend's husband works at US Cellular, and last year everyone (who works) in the store was INSTUCTED to donate a certain percentage of their paycheck to United Way. Fortunately I read FR, so I told them what United Way does to the Boy Scouts. As a result, my friend's hubby told all his co-workers about UW's hatred towards the Boy Scouts and why, and all the employees at that stores refused en masse to donate to the UW. It was company policy, so all US Cel employees had to do it. Except at this one store. But you can imagine the money.

...INSTUCTED to donate a certain percentage of their paycheck to United Way.

In 1989 I worked for Amdahl Corp. The company desired a certain United Way award (can't remember what it was called) for reaching X number of employees giving to the United Way, and giving over a certain amount. I too was intructed to donate... or be fired. I asked to be fired but it never happened.

Congrats, pram. Sometimes just one voice can change so much.
