UPS: Still in ALEC!
Two weeks ago, we told you about UPS’s affiliation with the American Legislative Exchange Council, or ALEC. ALEC is an organization that sets up meetings for companies, like UPS and FedEx, to meet with state legislators to develop and promote anti-worker, anti-union legislation that directly hurts working families. We asked you to TAKE ACTION to tell UPS how you feel about their involvement with ALEC, and many of you did. UPS heard us, but as of now, UPS is continuing to support ALEC.
Why is ALEC so bad for working families? Because it pushes model legislation like the:
Now, UPS is sponsoring ALEC’s annual meeting at a luxury resort in San Diego starting tomorrow. In 2014 and previous years, UPS has paid $25,000 to attend. Why is UPS paying tens of thousands of dollars to support legislation that hurts its workforce, and runs contrary to UPS’s own business model?
TAKE ACTION by telling UPS to sever ties with ALEC. Fill out the form below to email UPS executives, or call (855) 974-4180 to report anonymously to UPS that you view its membership in ALEC as a slap in the face to working families.
ALEC: Bad for UPS, worse for you.

Action Center
Donate to WV Children's Home Society
For many years, the members of this Local Union have contributed to and raised money for a local charity, West Virginia Children’s Home Society. CHS provides food and toys to families in need throughout West Virginia. Through generous donations, we were able to deliver 2 tractor trailers and several SUVs loaded with food, general household items as well as toys to a CHS location in Charleston. They then distributed the items to hundreds of families in WV. It was our biggest year yet. We estimated with donations and discounts, we delivered well over $50,000 in food and toys.
You can be a part of this great even this year by offering a monetary donation. Our members plan to shop for food/toys in December and your help is greatly appreciated. We guarantee 100% of donations goes directly to WV families.
