  • 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.
