Corey Walton opens by recognizing the Women of the CLC and highlighting a successful workplace harassment arbitration in Joliet, Illinois. He praises steward Caitlin Magruder for building a case that resulted in a supervisor being barred from supervising letter carriers.
Corey then challenges NALC President Brian Renfroe’s repeated promises to “fight like hell,” criticizing the union’s response to scanner surveillance, stationary events, reduced office time, contractual noncompliance, and the grievance backlog.
Much of the episode focuses on Postmaster General David Steiner’s warnings about USPS finances and proposals involving reduced overtime, expanded non-career employment, and potentially eliminating six-day delivery. Corey argues that union leadership has failed to challenge management’s financial narrative publicly.
James Henry joins for an extended conversation about collective bargaining, workplace conditions, educating letter carriers, and the CLC’s plans for stronger representation. Both emphasize proactive advocacy, an all-career workforce, better wages, and holding management accountable.
