Do NOT give to the us airways united way campaign
Please read and distribute .
Us airways is an international corporation and one of Arizona’s biggest employers ,however they are also a company that contributes to some of the very ills that the united way seeks to cure .
As many of you know this merger has been a mess , while executives and CEO’S are making million dollar bonuses , some of this companies workers are struggling just to survive .I am speaking of the working poor , many of us airways workers are pulling MORE than 40 hours a week just to feed and clothe their children , and I have no doubt that the united way is probably providing aid to some of our employees .
These employees give their all day in and day out , yet this company gives nothing to them , unless it absolutely has to . I find it ironic and insulting that this company can post pictures of disadvantaged children in the break rooms of some of it’s lowest paid workers and expect them to contribute to this campaign .I would like to take a moment to say that this company has a great trend of having the lowest paid workers across the aviation spectrum .
I urge this companies leadership to address it’s own internal ills , and the persistent poverty of some of its own workers ,before attempting to fix others problems .
In closing I also URGE everyone who reads this to give to charities , because there is no better feeling than knowing that you have done something to help another person . There are many other charities besides the united way that you can contribute to , such as the Red Cross , the Salvation Army or even your local church or food bank . Us Airways management seems to take a particular pleasure and pride in it’s annual United way campagin , please help send a message that this year , it needs to start taking care of it’s workers .
Thank you .
