  • Knowledge is power

    The podcast is very informative to city letter carriers. The worst thing about the podcast is the few times that pro wrestlers are impersonated. It’s hard to take in the information when someone is impersonating a known union buster and all around bad human being. Other than that this keeps carriers informed on how to beat management.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 202: Undelivered Mail Champs
Q: What was the strategic shift in approaching the arbitration when you realized you could 'open the door' through contractual violations?
The strategy shifted to first establish a contractual breach (Article 8 and related wage/work condition issues) to create leverage, then lean on broader obligations to deliver mail, which helped frame the case beyond pure monetary loss and strengthened the overall argument.
Episode 202: Undelivered Mail Champs
Q: So could you guys explain the situation that led to the grievance that we're referring to here?
They explain that a postmaster imposed a hard 10-hour cap on service days and prohibited delivering after that, prompting the need to file a grievance to protect overtime rules and ensure mail delivery while navigating contractual and statutory provisions.
Episode 190: Region 11 Brimming With Optimism
Q: What specific lesson from your time as an RAA prepares you to step up as NBA?
The key lesson is being responsive to the membership and maintaining transparency, even when the answer isn't what members want to hear. He argues that timely, honest communication builds trust and helps members feel valued and properly represented.
Episode 190: Region 11 Brimming With Optimism
Q: What is your favorite band to mosh pit to?
Brim shares a personal anecdote about moshing to 7 Dust in the early days, describing the intense, strobe-lit pit experience and the rough impact of the crowd, which underscored his willingness to push through challenging moments and maintain energy.
Episode 190: Region 11 Brimming With Optimism
Q: Why should we vote for you for NBA?
Brim argues that his broad, region-spanning experience gives him a practical, people-first perspective that understands the realities of frontline work, arbitration, and training. He emphasizes integrity, responsiveness to members, and a track record of implementing training programs and addressing wage theft and contract violations. He also points to his regional exposure (Region 6 and 11) and time spent at headquarters to illustrate a balanced, informed approach beyond a single branch viewpoint.
