But the majority have volunteered with a Toyota-sponsored program, and they are shipped out today at a multitude of local non-profits: today the Toyota employees in Georgetown are being paid by Toyota for building houses at Habitat for Humanity, for planting flowers/trees at local parks, etc.

BTW - Toyota employees have repeatedly fought and refused unionization.
Good for them not going Union and it sounds like they dont need one , seems the company is doing a good job taking care of them.
