“Let me beg of you, in God's holy name, let the organization be used for the uplifting of the human race, do not use it for the uplifting of yourself. Be true to your manhood; be true to your country; be true to the children yet unborn." ⁃ Mother Jones, July 19, 1902

February 21st, 2025 - President Trump to NALC President Brian Renfroe, the workers got sold out.

NALC President Brian Renfroe did a restricted virtual meeting with various NALC Branch Presidents, so Next Generation Carriers invited as many Presidents onto our podcast to discuss what happened and moving forward.

"Don't mourn, organize!" - This expression is the familiar version of the "last words spoken" by Wobbly songwriter Joe Hill before his execution on a murder charge in Utah. In truth, the expression is part of a telegram sent to Bill Haywood, in which Joe wrote, "Goodbye, Bill, I die like a true blue rebel. Don't waste any time mourning. Organize!"

"I didn't have to build a transportation network to deliver the packages. It existed: It was called the post office." - Jeff Bezos, July 2019
