Well, well, well... the shoe is on the other foot! Michael Rivera is a reformer from Branch 70 in San Diego who found himself in the national spotlight (at least among reform-minded podcasters) when he brought charges against NALC President Brian Renfroe; and then brought charges against the entire Executive Council. Michael recently ran for office in his own branch, and found what he believes to be significant deviations from the NALC's published election rules. He brought those issues to light with an election appeal, and published that appeal on social media, along with the appeals of two other members of his branch.

Now, the members of the branch's election committee have brought charges against Michael for that publication. In this episode, we talk about the charges, and how the charges mirror similar charges that Michael Brasaemle and I faced stemming from our own branch election.
