  • 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 154: Saturday With Elliot Simmons
Q: What's your view on formal A training and the current education landscape for stewards?
Formal A training is just the start; we need ongoing, weekly communications and accessible material that stewards and presidents can use to file proper grievances. I want to create a traveling steward school and a continuous file-building briefing that everyone in the region can access, not just the traditional annual conventions.
Episode 154: Saturday With Elliot Simmons
Q: Introduce yourself and why you're running for NBA Region 7.
I'm Elliot Simmons from Bismarck, North Dakota. I've seen what it's like to struggle and fight from the ground up, and I'm running to bring practical training, accountability, and a more dynamic leadership team to Region 7 so we can improve how grievances are handled and how education reaches every carrier.
Episode 158: Chris Strickland From The Convention
Q: What are the main goals of your campaign as Region 8 NBA candidate?
The campaign centers on unity, education, and outreach, with an emphasis on serving Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Louisiana and improving communication with members.
Episode 158: Chris Strickland From The Convention
Q: How is the convention going for you so far?
Strickland describes a productive convention with camaraderie, networking across states, and a focus on unifying Region 8 as a campaign pillar, while noting the logistical challenges and the anticipation around nominations and leadership decisions.
Episode 159: Karrie Blough Investigative Interview
Q: What defines a successful NBA and how would you implement it?
She emphasizes clear communication with the entire membership, addressing disenfranchisement, leveraging regional structures like branch presidents and arbitration advocates, and creating scalable processes to identify and develop talent.
