Corey Walton welcomes NALC Branch 3 President David Grosskopf Jr., a Concerned Letter Carriers (CLC) trustee candidate, for a discussion about political advocacy, union leadership, and protecting the future of the Postal Service.
David recounts Branch 3’s efforts to oppose USPS network consolidation and Sorting and Delivery Center (S&DC) implementation in Buffalo, including organizing public campaigns, working with elected officials, and securing community support. He criticizes national leadership’s response to the Delivering for America plan and discusses the importance of cooperation among postal unions.
Corey and David also examine the Letter Carrier Political Fund, congressional lobbying, bipartisan outreach, and the need for stronger political education throughout the NALC. They emphasize organizing at the branch and state levels, holding elected officials accountable, and building public support for letter carriers and postal service protections.
