  • 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.

Episode 175: The Wreckingcrew Weighs In On The Election
Q: When you look at this election as a whole, what's the one thing letter carriers should be thinking about when voting?
Voters should consider which candidate has skin in the game and a proven leadership record, especially in advocating for the most vulnerable carriers, and who will deliver concrete plans to improve grievance processes and working conditions.
Episode 181: Larrissa Parde Investigative Interview
Q: What barriers have you personally encountered inside the USPS or NALC, and what would you do to improve representation for women and people of color?
I started as a carrier and faced challenges as a woman of color; I've benefited from strong mentors and supportive colleagues, and I plan to push for DEI initiatives, mentoring programs, and transparent leadership practices to ensure all voices are heard.
Episode 181: Larrissa Parde Investigative Interview
Q: Do you know what you would be responsible for?
I'm very familiar with the Constitution and the duties of the National Officers; I expect to oversee bylaws, take minutes for the Executive Council, and handle aspects of collective bargaining and expenses, including overlap with the Finance Department.

Q: Can you share details about your Millionaire appearance and the outcome?
