National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) Business Agent, Mike Caref joins the show. Caref emphasizes the upcoming collective bargaining negotiations with the United States Postal Service, arguing that letter carriers deserve a contract that addresses their fundamental needs. He outlines significant issues including low starting pay, mandatory overtime, and disregard for contractual obligations by USPS management. Caref believes that the current contract fails to adequately address these issues and urges NALC members to demand a contract that improves their quality of life, threatening to vote against any agreement that falls short. He expresses optimism about President Renfroe’s leadership while calling on members to hold their union representatives accountable for securing a fair and equitable contract.
