In this episode of Mike Drop Monday, Mike, Renee, and Sarah sit down with Eric Salazar, President of Branch 913 in Grand Junction, Colorado. Eric joins the crew to share stories and honor the memory of Dan D. Workman, whose tragic passing has deeply affected the carrier community.

The discussion explores the circumstances of Dan’s death and the ongoing fight over stationary time requirements. Renee revisits last year’s alarming incident where a supervisor died while conducting a 3999 in the back of a carrier’s LLV, sparking a warning letter from NAPS about the dangers of supervisors and managers riding along during extreme summer heat.

The team also covers developments in Washington, highlighting NALC President Brian Renfroe’s recent testimony before Congress about letter carrier safety hazards and the future of the USPS. They also discuss Dr. Patel’s practical plan to address Postal Service challenges.
