Carriers for a Better Union, also known as CBU, has been called the “black sheep” of Texas by some, while others see it as a movement pushing for real change inside the union.
Mike Drop Monday
In this episode, we break down what Carriers for a Better Union is, where it came from, and why it’s getting attention from letter carriers across Texas and beyond.
We also highlight the work being done by Omayra Acevdeo, a steward and Food Drive Coordinator for Branch 181 in Texas, who has been working to translate the M-41 and other important documents to support Spanish-speaking carriers.
We talk about:
• What Carriers for a Better Union (CBU) actually is • Why some consider them “troublemakers” or “black sheep” • The role of grassroots organizing in union change • Omayra Acevdeo’s work translating the M-41 • Why accessibility and inclusion matter for all carriers • How movements like this impact the future of the union
