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'.

    A Wild, Wild Branch Meeting - Part 3 of 3

    In this episode, Michael and I talk about the charges that were brought against us by the election chair. Labor laws are pretty clear that union members have free speech, and that freedom specifically includes the right to be critical of union officials. But here we are. Enjoy!

    A Wild, Wild Branch Meeting - Part 2 of 3

    In part two, we get into the election portion of our branch meeting. Tough questions were asked by the crowd, and NOT answered by our branch officers. To say it was lively would be an understatement.

    A Wild, Wild, Branch Meeting, Part 1 of 3

    In this episode, Michael Brasaemle comes over to talk about what went down at our most recent branch meeting. We wound up needing THREE EPISODES to cover everything. This first episode covers my effort to force the president of my branch to fulfill his obligation under our bylaws to fill vacancies. Specifically, the steward position at my station that has been vacant for a year. This is what it looks like when you go up against entrenched branch officers who have been there upwards of 30 years.

    Richard Vala - Campaign Manager and Lifelong Friend

    Today I am joined by a friend going back to Junior High. He is my primary sounding board for most of my activism within the union. And he served as my primary advisor for my run for vice president. Today, you will hear an outsider's perspective on what's been going on at my branch, and my history with the post office and the union. There are significant insights in this episode about who I am as a person. It's a great conversation, between two old friends.
