  • Episode 25

    Episode 25 clearly shows how out of touch some of these NBAs are. Give Caref a little credit that he makes the “show” of going and carrying his assignment. But when you have no clue about something as simple as the “Package Lookahead” feature and how it works, you really need to take a deep dive and actually get involved with the people on the floor more than one week a year. Was the “Load Truck” actually “disabled” or were you clocked in to the incorrect route? Why would they have it “disabled?... more

  • Good information!

    Just listen to the newest one you just dropped I liked the first half the second half about the letter, political fund, and that gentleman Ken I get it is very important I contribute. But I do not agree how he is pressuring carriers into doing it with in my opinion is fear mongering. A lot of our brothers and sisters are struggling and I’m sorry, brother, but you’re a clown for doing this. And your excuse of well, maybe work some overtime brother no if we get a higher pay wave absolutely I’m sur... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Mike Drop Monday: Chris Reed — Region 1 NBA Candidate
Q: What is your plan to get yourself elected here?
My plan centers on meeting carriers where they are, distributing literature and campaign materials, engaging branch meetings, and building broad awareness across California, Hawaii, Nevada, and Guam. I'll continue direct outreach, leverage media to highlight issues, and mobilize active members to participate in the process.
Mike Drop Monday: Chris Reed — Region 1 NBA Candidate
Q: What makes you stand out from the other opponents at this point in time?
I stand out because I am a current letter carrier who still carries routes and spends time with carriers in post offices, which keeps me connected to the realities of frontline work and the concerns of members. This perspective, combined with a proven track record as Region 1 business agent, differentiates me from opponents who are more detached from daily carrier life.
Mike Interviews Carriers in Anaheim
Q: What would you do to pressure the Postal Service to engage more seriously in negotiations?
Use public visibility and media pressure, set a clear schedule, and be prepared to stage public demonstrations if needed, while keeping the focus on securing a career path and fair pay for carriers.
Mike Interviews Carriers in Anaheim
Q: Is it possible to start negotiating a year early so we have an arbitrator lined up when the contract ends?
Yes, but the official channels may not force the Postal Service to sign early; the timeline is driven by expiration dates and mandatory negotiation periods, so the plan is to use the 90-day negotiation window to push for progress and then escalate to arbitration if no movement occurs.
Mike Drop Monday: Meet Region 1 NBA Candidate Chris Reed
Q: What will be your first priority as NBA?
To implement an educational and communication plan across the region, followed by concerted healing and open communication to restore trust and collaboration in Region 1.
