Corey Walton welcomes Tyler Vasseur and Margo O’Neill from Build a Fighting NALC (BFN) to discuss rank-and-file organizing, union reform, and BFN’s campaign to win the legal right to strike. They examine the history of the 1970 postal strike, previous NALC convention resolutions, and concerns about binding interest arbitration following the rejection of the tentative agreement.
The conversation explores BFN’s proposed right-to-strike resolution, its October 12 campaign launch, and efforts to build support through local branches, other unions, and the broader labor movement. They also discuss open bargaining, stronger wages, an all-career workforce, eliminating mandatory overtime, and the importance of empowering members through education and grassroots organizing.
