Episode 216: 'The Giant slayer' Mr. Tyler Vasseur talking TA and the BFN
This episode features an interview with Tyler Vasseur, a leader of the Build a Fighting NALC (BFN) movement. The discussion focuses on the successful "Vote No" campaign against the recent tentative agreement, the NALC leadership's response, and BFN's plans for the future.
Corey begins by praising BFN's efforts and highlighting Mallory's call for members to submit educational resources to the From A to Arbitration website. He then introduces Tyler, commending his courage and leadership. Tyler discusses the historic nature of the TA rejection, emphasizing the increased voter turnout and the parallels to a similar rejection in 1978. He attributes the "no" vote to inflation, anger at NALC leadership, and the organized efforts of the reform movement. He stresses the importance of making the union a real force in the workplace to increase membership participation.
Corey and Tyler criticize President Renfroe's handling of negotiations, particularly his broken promises and lack of transparency. They see his recent adoption of BFN's talking points, including calls for an all-career workforce and a cost-of-living adjustment (COLA), as an attempt to save face. Tyler, however, views this as a victory for the reform movement, demonstrating the effectiveness of pressure and organized demands. He calls for nationally coordinated contract rallies to maintain momentum.
Tyler outlines BFN's plans for the future, including a campaign for the right to strike. He encourages listeners to join the upcoming BFN Zoom meeting and details how to start a local chapter. He emphasizes the importance of organizing and building a strong foundation for future fights, including the national convention, leadership elections, and contract negotiations in 2026. Corey reiterates his support for BFN and offers to promote their events.
