Episode 221: The Wolf James Henry, The Brooklyn Badass Ritchie Ray and my 2 cents

From A to Arbitration

This episode is an extended discussion, featuring multiple guests, on the upcoming arbitration proceedings and the broader context of the potential threat to the USPS. James Henry emphasizes unity and solidarity among NALC members, regardless of branch or political affiliation, in response to perceived threats to the postal service, particularly the potential for privatization and the removal of the Postal Board of Governors. He stresses the need for collective action and cautions against internal division, urging listeners to support upcoming rallies and the planned "lunchtime call-in" day of action to pressure congressional representatives. Richie Ray addresses concerns about the expedited arbitration process, leadership, and the toxic work environment, advocating for a proactive, rather than reactive, approach. He emphasizes the need for education and transparency within the union. He also outlines his vision for Region 15 as business agent, focused on the grievance procedure, and the importance of empowering the rank and file. Corey concludes the episode with his perspective, calling for unity and collective action among all postal employees to defend the USPS, offering advice on addressing the concerns raised and strategies to be used, along with plans to mobilize teams to combat hostile working environments. The overarching theme is the need for solidarity and collective action amongst all members of the postal service in the face of perceived threats to the postal service, including potential privatization.
