Episode 206: Merry Christmas and some more 16.7

This episode of "From A to Arbitration" discusses the ongoing issue of 16.7 violations, emphasizing the need for business agents to provide guidance to their members and highlighting management's tactics for targeting letter carriers. Corey analyzes a document outlining management's safety initiative, which he criticizes for its potential to be weaponized against carriers and for its failure to address the inherent problems of a toxic work environment created by management. He strongly advises carriers to request a steward immediately if approached by management during street observations and emphasizes that any evidence collected before the steward's arrival should be considered inadmissible. Corey also discusses the pressure the postal service is under, specifically mentioning the potential for privatization, and advocates for using public outreach to exert pressure on the postal service and Congress. Corey expresses strong disapproval of the tentative agreement and the current NALC administration's response, praising the work of the CLC and anticipating a significant win in the 2026 election. He concludes by announcing plans for a YouTube channel and weekly CLC podcasts focusing on basic union training.
