This episode discusses the upcoming arbitration proceedings between the NALC and the USPS. Corey expresses deep dissatisfaction with the NALC president's handling of negotiations, criticizing the low offer (1.3%) received after over six hundred days of talks. Corey believes Renfroe failed to negotiate effectively and believes the offer was intentionally timed to force arbitration. He recounts the history of the dispute, emphasizing past arbitration failures, and the union's decision to proceed to interest arbitration. He also highlights a recent case where an arbitrator ruled against management and the subsequent efforts to amend that ruling. Corey argues that the union has a strong position to win concessions in arbitration due to the evidence gathered and the need for the members' voices to be heard. This episode also includes a detailed summary of the interest arbitration process, referencing previous cases and emphasizing that this is a complex and time-consuming procedure. Corey's overall message conveys a strong sense of frustration with the union's current leadership and a determination to fight for fair compensation in the upcoming arbitration. He concludes by expressing confidence in the carrier's determination to achieve a positive outcome.
