Reviews

4.2 out of 5 stars from 100 ratings
  • Could be really good

    It doesn’t put carrier problems at the forefront, it’s more important to the show to make the union more political than to actually make working conditions better for all carriers.

  • For carriers?

    I can’t tell if this podcast is for letter carriers or just another far left propaganda machine. Seems like every other episode is straight from MSNBC. The show was good in the beginning when it was about carrier education and the contract.

  • Very informative

    Great podcast if you’re involved in the NALC, want to be or just interested in the happenings of the NALC. Great job fellas! The AI (?) reading of “Undelivered” was awful.
