Classes of Mail

Make yourself discipline proof! This podcast is dedicated to educating City Letter Carriers on all the things you forgot from Carrier Academy. We'll go over basic procedures and regulations, and dive deeper into how the mail system actually works. I do not speak for the USPS or NALC (or anybody else, for that matter!), this is not an official USPS or NALC podcast, and all opinions and advice are my own or my guests'. Submit feedback, questions, or topic suggestions to classesofmail@gmail.com .

    Our Branch Election Was Canceled! Or Was It?

    Amazingly, there are still more improprieties in our branch election. Michael is in studio to talk about the latest developments. It's a doozy!

    John Murphy Returns

    John Murphy is back to talk about the Tentative Agreement, and more importantly, about the labor movement in general. We talk about our plans to vote no, and we talk about the importance of staying in the union and transforming it into a true rank-and-file movement.

    Campaign - MORE Shenanigans!

    The election in my branch is a mess. We're closing in on election day, and Michael and I are getting positive feedback from carriers, in spite of all the improprieties. We know that carriers in our branch are being disenfranchised, and we're fighting back against it.

    National Day of Action with C Moline

    Wednesday, October 30, 2024, will be a National Day of Action for letter carriers. C Moline is on the program to talk about the contract, to urge all of us to VOTE NO, and to tell us what WE can do to help win back our rights and improve our conditions within the NALC. As always, C is a fantastic guest who brings great energy and enthusiasm, as well as a ton of information. Help us Build a Fighting NALC!

    Leslie Hammett Shares Her Wisdom

    Leslie ran for president of Branch 2502 in 2016 and lost by a razor thin margin. Before and after, she has been a tireless supporter of her carriers, and she has been a mentor for Michael and me in our run for office, and as stewards. In this episode, she'll share her insights into the process, the role of branch officers, and a handful of other topics. This episode was recorded in my back yard, so there's no echo. We had to crank the microphone up so we could hear Leslie, and it worked. She sounds great. But there's also aircraft noise, and distractions from Annie. Listen and enjoy.

    Campaign Update - SHENANIGANS!

    Shenanigans are afoot in the Branch 2502 elections. And wouldn't you know it... they all seem to favor the incumbents. We have still more errors in the election process. We also have a new development: Michael and I have been on the receiving end of a smear campaign. Good times. Michael and I talk about what's been going on as the day of the election draws near.

    Our Take on the Tentative Agreement

    Correction: the 1.3% raises are not cumulative. They are each 1.3% of the original base salary. They do not compound. I am joined by special guest Michael Brasaemle, my running mate for office of Branch 2502. We talk about our opinion of the tentative agreement. Spoiler alert: it's unfavorable. We'll also talk about a possible path forward, using the referendum process, to end Renfroe's role as our chief negotiator. This episode was recorded in my back yard, so we don't have any annoying echo. On the downside, we have to compete with aircraft noise. On the upside, Annie loved it!
