Corey Walton emphasizes the importance of putting city letter carriers first, calling for stronger union representation, solidarity, and accountability. He discusses the Concerned Letter Carriers (CLC), plans to expand education through The Lion’s Den, and the need to confront toxic working conditions, delayed mail, grievance backlogs, and management’s continued contractual violations.
The episode focuses on two recently signed memorandums addressing annual leave carryover and leave sellback. Corey criticizes the requirement limiting eligibility for annual leave exchange to employees who used fewer than 75 hours of sick leave, arguing that it unfairly penalizes carriers dealing with illnesses, injuries, and family medical responsibilities. He closes by reminding listeners that protecting one another should always come before politics or personal differences.
