NIKE made the list? I thought they were chaining 5 year olds to a bench in some rain forest (that they were destroying) and making them assemble shoes that they sold to ghetto kids for a gazillion bucks, thus perpetuating a life of crime and drugs? Maybe not? Also, AFLAC is on the list! If they aren't exploiting the heck out of that duck, I just don't know what the definition of "exploit" is!! Makes this whole list suspect.

Don't fly for brown, but I did drive for them for 11 years. Ethics and UPS are NOT to be used in the same sentence, unless it is the lead in for a sick joke. Maybe you guys are treated better on the airline side of things, but their dealings with hourlies (union and non-union), lower tier management, and franchisees are utterly ruthless and abominable. The paycheck always cleared, so in that sense they were ethical.

With the exception that someone from the ground side may actually rise in the ranks to Atlanta, Pilots will never get the opportunity to do so. We have never tossed boxes and if someone did in a prior life they left the company to learn how to fly and are tainted.

Except the point that we have never tossed boxes. You haven't flown with me and my landings ...

I know very well about the company's "once you leave, don't ever come back" mentality. I'm not sure if they automatically exclude those who left the Teamster ranks to bust ass and earn their ratings, then seek re employment driving airplanes.
