Why would people donate their own blood to a soldier who "voluntarily" stepped on a land mine in Iraq, saving those he served with as well as innocent civilians? Why would people donate to the families of firemen who died while "voluntarily" trying to rescue people at the World Trade Center? Why would people make a donation to support the position of an activist who "voluntarily" stepped forward and challenged racism, poverty or, in this case, a rogue Employer who knows the difference between right and wrong, but just doesn't give a damn. I guess the short answer is that people seem to want to reach out and somehow help those whose have put themselves in harms way in order to make a difference. It's human nature.
So, I guess the simplest answer to your question, Upstate, is that you wouldn't donate and no one would expect you to.
