  • 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 57: Stewards Can Tell The Boss To Fuck Off
Q: If I called a supervisor a barefaced liar, can I be punished?
No. If the steward honestly believes a supervisor is lying, they have the right to say so, even if it later proves incorrect.
Episode 57: Stewards Can Tell The Boss To Fuck Off
Q: I was warned for yelling at a grievances meeting; can I raise my voice without getting punished?
Yes. Vigorous conduct is protected in grievance meetings, including shouting, as long as it does not cross into egregious misconduct or violate the contract.
Episode 57: Stewards Can Tell The Boss To Fuck Off
Q: Did I go over the line as the steward when I shook my finger at a manager during a grievance meeting?
The host explains that finger-shaking is not egregious and proceeding with an unfair labor practice charge about the threat is appropriate; the emphasis is on context and representational capacity.
Episode 52: The Macho Mailman
Q: Would you like to reintroduce yourself over there?
Yes, I'm James Palinkas, the Macho Mailman, a clinic carrier from Nashville, New Hampshire, with a long USPS career and a growing alter ego that started in 2015.
Episode 62: Debbie Dixon Investigative Interview
Q: Were there indications you would be fired or let go when you decided to run for NBA of Region 2?
There were no explicit indications, though I anticipated potential crosshairs due to past discussions; I pursued the NBA role to drive needed change, not as a personal battle.
