Letter from United Way Donor to Mary Johnson and Joel Weiss

Editor's note: Joel Weiss is the head of the Pioneer Valley United Way, a major funder of the Springfield YWCA.

Dear Ms. Johnson and Mr. Weiss,

I understand that a lawyer has been hired to fight unionization at the YWCA and that that legal effort is costing upwards of $100,000.

As someone who works at Baystate in Springfield and gives a regular donation to the United Way, I am not satisfied that my donation is being used by the YWCA to fight fulfilling its contract with its workers.

The YWCA plays an important role in our society, struggling for those without voice. It should not violate that principle in its labor practices.

Please, sign and fulfill the contract.
