Listen Later

This is a "CCA Corner" mailbag episode featuring Leo, a newly elected CCA steward from Philadelphia. Badmouth and Mallory begin by apologizing for the infrequent uploads, citing personal life events such as moves. Leo, the guest, shares their background as a practicing attorney before transitioning to a career as a letter carrier. They describe their current work environment as overwhelmingly busy due to handling all Amazon deliveries at their station and frequent changes in management. They explain how their legal background proves advantageous as a steward, drawing parallels between legal practice and handling grievances. Leo recounts how their first day at the academy inspired them to become a steward, discussing the importance of proactive advocacy. They note that they were unexpectedly elected as steward. They then discuss how management's disposition shifted from initially supportive to adversarial after they began actively defending carriers' rights, recounting instances where interviews were abruptly terminated due to disagreements over Weingarten rights. They reflect on the challenges of maintaining composure when facing management resistance and shares their system for managing the large amount of data involved in their steward duties. Leo acknowledges the initial apprehension some carriers felt towards him as a CCA steward but emphasizes that they aimed to gain trust by proactively educating and supporting coworkers.
