From A to Arbitration

Episode 228: Next Generation Carriers


Listen Later

This episode is a repost of the Next Generation Carriers podcast featuring Corey, along with other letter carriers, in a lengthy discussion about various issues within the National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC), specifically the recent arbitration and the perceived failings of the current leadership. The carriers discuss the low turnout at recent "fight like hell" rallies, attributing this to a perceived lack of effective mobilization strategies from NALC leadership. They criticize the union's handling of the recent contract negotiations, particularly the union president's (Renfroe's) involvement in a stipulated arbitration award that, according to the hosts, was predetermined and didn't reflect the membership's will. Concerns are raised about the potential for Renfroe's actions to negatively impact the union's bargaining position going forward, and calls for his resignation are discussed. The hosts also lament the lack of transparency and communication within the NALC and express the need for a more proactive and aggressive approach to organizing and communication. They discuss the possible implementation of a more extensive education platform to empower and support union members in smaller branches. Further concerns are raised about the use of telematics for disciplinary actions and other workplace issues, with the hosts proposing that these should be grieved at the national level. The conversation also touches on political alliances, emphasizing the need to educate the public about the postal service's role and functions. The carriers encourage their fellow members to remain engaged and unified in the fight for better working conditions and against potential privatization efforts. Several members express frustrations with internal union politics and practices, and a call for systemic changes within the NALC is made. The episode also features the hosts' individual experiences and perspectives within their respective branches.
