This Discussion was about who Elijah is, where he came from what he does in his Branch the challenges of being a shop steward talked about his learning curve filing grievances. Discussed many other topics fun topics and the perfect workroom floor. The question was why the union and why did you step up? We also discussed our concerns about the National Union and we went into the 5 steps that all Stewards must do before they become a steward this was awesome, and I think everyone will enjoy this conversation. Letter Carrier to Letter Carrier workroom floor conversation.

In this episode, I discuss my Mission Statement, agenda, and closing for my run as NBA for Region 15.

We need to stand as one, and we need fighters in these positions so our members and Branch leaders have backup.

I will be talking more about my agenda in the future but this episode is all about me discussing my plans my ideas and letting the carrier world in Region 15 that I will be running for NBA in 2026.

Sunday coffee conversation with President Bill Kriebel discussed the experiences of OWCP and Formal A Beyond Training. We spoke about the CLC, its importance, and what it means. We discussed issues within the union, picking people for Leadership, and our thoughts on the current state of our National Union and what we think needs to be fixed. These two topics were very interesting, even though we went off-topic a few times.

Bill was asked why the union, why he got involved, and why he is so deeply into it. Then, I asked why he thinks the NBA is for him and discussed his mission and his goals.

Shoutouts and discussed his special memories.

Then Bill had questions for me and discussed the feelings about the Staten Island and Brooklyn Branch 41 merged.

Of course, the million-dollar question was finally asked during the discussion of what type of CAWFEE I drink.

Closing thoughts from Bill
