From A to Arbitration

Episode 242: Dealing with the Heat Part 1


Listen Later

Corey addresses the critical issue of heat safety for letter carriers, emphasizing the alarming frequency of heat-related illnesses and fatalities. He expresses frustration with the NALC's perceived inaction and lack of guidance on this matter, contrasting it with the proactive community efforts seen on social media. Corey highlights the importance of staying hydrated, taking breaks, and utilizing cooling methods like wearing light clothing and using towels. He reiterates that the carrier's health and safety are paramount, more important than mail volume or management directives. Corey details specific grievance procedures and contractual language from the M39 and M41 handbooks that support carriers' rights to take breaks and challenge management's attempts to penalize them for prioritizing their well-being. He also reviews past arbitration decisions and settlements, such as the cease and desist orders and monetary remedies, that can be used as precedents for current grievances. Corey shares his personal commitment to fighting for the carriers, even if it means facing criticism, and stresses the need for collective action and education to protect the membership. He announces that he will be resuming his regular podcast schedule and continuing to provide education on crucial topics like six-day counts and route protection.
