What is the name of your state? Kansas
My employer has created a new program whereby employees are allowed to wear blue jeans on Fridays provided they are willing to donate $2 to the United Way, or once in a while to an employee activities committee. I have no problem with making a donation to a charity, but I do not want to donate via the United Way, and have asked to be allowed to give to the employee activity committee or some local charity instead. The head of my HR department told me I could elect what charity through the United Way I donated to, but would not allow me to by pass giving to this specific organization.
If I decline to donate specifically to the United Way I am not allowed to wear blue jeans. Is this legal?
I have very strong convictions about giving to large organizations that take enormous administrative fees out of the donations. I do not believe that I should be penalized by being denied a privilege because I object to the way the donations are administered. Several employees have expressed disgust over this practice but are afraid to refute the practice. Any thoughts?
