Yesterday, Region 2 members sit down with an NBA candidate for a candid interview asking the tough questions that matter most to carriers. We also break down the recent congressional testimony featuring PMG Steiner, highlighting serious concerns about the financial stability of the United States Postal Service. With projections suggesting USPS could run out of money within 12 months, we discuss: Declining mail volume and its long-term impact Unfair pension obligations weighing down the system Rising workers’ compensation claims An USPS Office of Inspector General report citing over $800 million spent on grievances The ongoing failure to properly comply with the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) We also tackle critical workforce and operational issues, including: Continued reliance on CCAs instead of hiring directly to career (PTF) positions Plans to expand the non-career workforce The need for a national-level grievance due to Step B backup teams not being activated Why comparing USPS to foreign postal systems doesn’t tell the full story The impact of reducing delivery days—fewer routes, fewer jobs, and declining service quality On top of that, we address growing concerns from carriers about workplace culture: Excessive management and micromanagement Hostile work environments Ignoring the M-41 handbook that already outlines how carriers should perform their duties This episode is a must-watch for anyone concerned about the future of the Postal Service and the rights of its workforce.

    56 years later…did anything really change?

    Greetings, NALC family and fellow letter carriers. This week, we recognize the 56th anniversary of the historic 1970 strike, eight powerful days from March 17th to March 25th that forever changed our profession. That moment in history led to the Postal Reorganization Act, transforming the Post Office and securing the right to wages and benefits comparable to the private sector. In this mini episode clip, you will hear reflections and interviews from those who lived it, including voices like Brother Kamara, painting a vivid picture of the fight that reshaped our future. But here is the question we are asking today. Have we come full circle? While progress has been made, especially at the top of the pay scale, what about those still climbing? For the many carriers working through the lower steps, does it feel like history is repeating itself? This midweek drop is about reflection, perspective, and your story. Where do you stand? We are looking for your story. Send us an email with your name, your branch, and any details you would like to share. We will follow up, set it up, and your voice may be featured in a future episode. This campaign is about taking back our union for all members and building a union that fights for a true standard of living, dignity, and respect.
