Reviews

4.1 out of 5 stars from 103 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.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Peralta / Camilli / Parde
Q: Do you see the part of the executive vice president's job as helping mobilize member rallies, pickets and putting pressure on them? Or should national officers primarily stay within the grievance process?
Peralta says the union should first use its grievance procedures and internal processes to enforce the contract. He would turn to public pressure only after those efforts have been exhausted.
Peralta / Camilli / Parde
Q: Do you know anything about the status of this current negotiation and where this is?
Camilli says the union is not at an impasse over selecting an arbitrator, according to a conversation he had with Executive Vice President Paul Barner. If the parties cannot agree, the matter could go to the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service.
Boyd / Yates
Q: What advice would you give a CCA that just started delivering mail in the heat, if they're thinking about quitting?
Boyd recommends getting through the initial probationary period, staying well hydrated, taking comfort stops and needed breaks, and treating the job as a marathon.
Boyd / Yates
Q: What is your plan for trying to convince the Postal Service that these trucks are only a disaster waiting to happen?
Boyd says he would engage the Postal Service about how new vehicles are assigned, press for safer replacements for aging LLVs, and address vehicle heat, fires, and fumes.
Jancio / Gonzalez
Q: If you are elected Region 15 business agent, what are the first three things you're going to do on day one?
Janko says he would start with training and strengthening the grievance process, addressing the backlog from arbitration to Step B, and teaching carriers work rules through branch training and online resources.
