I would like to represent branch 5996 in aurora colorado. But i am being silenced by my union president and vice president as well as my shop steward and table 1 carriers. I am 100% for all letter carriers, but aurora seems to want to keep their mouth shut and their heads down. This is not right!
Most Branches caucus prior to the convention and take positions on resolutions before to the convention. Very rarely does the Branches change their position at the convention.
We should get rid of NALC . We can get a contract if we have a real Union leader like ups or auto unions! What a waste of time and money we have with pathetic representation. There is no saving this. We must move on.
I think Renfraid should not be seeing a salary until he gets the contract done ✅. When he went AWOL for months he should have put the #2 in charge so the contract talks should have continued to be negotiated. Just my opinion
I got some bad news for you guys that think you can form a separate Union in which the NALC would not be involved. After the strike in 1970 the NALC went to court to become the exclusive representative body of letter carriers. You cannot form a separate union as it would be illegal and you will not be recognized by the USPS or otherwise. Now what did you guys accomplish? Instead of just concentrating on voting him out in 2026 you brought up charges against him which had already been adjudicated and as a result Renfroe was forced to attain representation for more than 1/3 of a million dollars at the expense of the NALC as a result of your actions. Lastly, table 1 carriers together with retirees greatly outnumber table 2 carriers so if you guys think you are going to overthrow them you are sadly mistaken. Unlike the US which is a Democratic republic the NALC is a democracy and the majority calls the shots. And you guys on this zoom call thinking you are going to circumvent this process you have another thing coming. When you guys can come to the table with at least 125,000 votes let us know. Until then you are not getting anywhere.
That's such a terrible thought process. Renfroe was FORCED to spend 300k of our money ? No. There was no legal need for representation. He chose to spend our money and the executive council allowed it. And 125k votes.... you think you just start there? You start with 1 vote and gather momentum when more people sign up. SMH get out of here with that foolish hate.
You should Not forget that only 15% of eligible voters actually voted Renfroe in. This in itself shows how National has lost track with rank and file. This in the closet style of negotiating a contract is a disgrace to the word Unionism!
Can the USPS change unions from nalc to teamsters?
Tyler Is A CHAMPION FOR CHANGING THE CULTURE! LETS GOO YOUNG MAN!
What's going on with our contract?!
