Is United Way aware that some employers force employees to give to the United Way campaign?
Yes, and it is wrong. Thankfully, fewer companies are doing that. Your giving to United Way is strictly voluntary. We strongly discourage coercion in our volunteer training program and in our printed materials and electronically transmitted messages and point out that coercion creates more problems than it solves. We believe that information and education about how United Way serves the community are the best ways to encourage contributions.
