My Nonprofit Reviews

Hey - I saw the review below and felt a need to post. The review below is uninformed, at best, and misleading at worst. The "union" formed by the canvassers - who are independent contractors, by the way, and can't be "hired", "fired", or unionize under current federal and state law - is headed by a deadbeat dad in the community with a chip on his shoulder against the organization from past interpersonal conflicts. I know his 5 year old son's mom personally and well, and I am well aware that a main reason he was interested in rejoining Sisters Camelot's canvas crew was to be able to *continue* to evade paying a dime of child support for his son due to their independent contractor status, versus facing inevitable wage garnishment as an employee elsewhere. As well, the "union" chose to strike within an hour of serving their largely unreasonable and untutored "demands" - which they served first, never with an intent to negotiate in good faith. Bad faith has been exercised on their part throughout, examples abound if requested.

Sisters' Camelot is a group of well-meaning, hard-working, doing-their-damndest folks who are presently being hit with either a massively immature and remarkably untutored wave of infighting and smear campaigning in the form of an a-legal "strike", or a well-executed effort by a resentful and egotistical man to try to cause this effective, important, community-strengthening organization to seemingly self-destruct. Neither of these is a reason I would stop donating - in fact, I am more interested in contributing to their cause than I ever have been before.
