Corey begins by stating that he will use profanity in this episode but will not in the following one. He starts by thanking Mallory and encouraging listeners to donate to her through the podcast's website. He then promotes the Concerned Letter Carriers (CLC) campaign, emphasizing the need for fundraising to support the upcoming election and reclaim the union from what he describes as corrupt leadership. Corey discusses the success of the “Dogs of War” initiative, emphasizing its focus on addressing toxic work environments and providing unparalleled training to union members to become more effective in addressing management issues. He then shares numerous shout-outs sent by listeners, recognizing various individuals and branches for their activism and dedication. He reads messages praising specific union members and announces upcoming rallies. A significant portion focuses on the perceived incompetence and dishonesty of the current NALC president, Brian Renfroe, and the lack of support shown to him at a recent regional training event. Corey describes Renfroe's actions as selling out the members and encourages listeners to provide examples of any actions Renfroe has taken to earn their respect. He then addresses concerns about telematics devices in postal vehicles, explaining how shop stewards can effectively handle disciplinary actions related to seatbelt usage by citing relevant regulations. He also analyses a memorandum from the Cleveland Postmaster regarding tour deviations, outlining multiple potential grievances based on contract violations. He discusses several memos detailing performance metrics and argues that these are meant to create a hostile working environment. Corey provides strategies for filing grievances based on these memos, pointing out that the parameters set within them violate the existing collective bargaining agreement. The final section delves into the arrival of Doge representatives, invited by the Postmaster General to identify areas of inefficiency within the USPS. Corey emphasizes that the areas of concern listed by the Postmaster General do not include labor costs, suggesting that the union should focus on these other issues when advocating for improvements. He concludes by reiterating the need to engage with Congress and the public to protect the USPS from privatization and ensure fair treatment of letter carriers.
