Why I Am Running for Vice President Aug 03, 2024

Show notes

This episode is a heartfelt message about why I decided to run for vice president of Branch 2502. I'll talk about what motivates me, what's important to me, and what I plan to focus on when I get elected. I would encourage you to contact anyone you know at East Las Vegas and ask them about my love for City Letter Carriers. Ask them if I'm willing to fight for them. And please, share this episode with folks you know in Branch 2502.

This episode will cover the remainder of the 800s, which tells us more about safety. Turns out we have to have fire drills at least once per year. Also, it's MANDATORY for new hires to undergo a medical evaluation. Is that happening?

Is this Podcast Anti-Union? Jul 26, 2024

Show notes

No. The short answer is no. The long answer is nooooooooo. In this episode, I talk about the accusation that my local union president leveled against me, I get introspective a bit, and then I finish up by talking about what it really means to be anti-union.

ELM 820s and 830s Jul 23, 2024

Show notes

The ELM is starting to feel a bit like a chore, but I promise to keep it lively and relevant. And I skip big chunks that aren't relevant to us. This section is about accident investigations and PS Form 1767. In fairness, this stuff does come up fairly regularly.

ELM 800 - 819 Jul 17, 2024

Show notes

In this section we learn about health and safety programs. I'll point out a few defenses to discipline as we go along. Also, in this recording, I get to learn a little bit more about audio editing, because of a mistake I made with my new microphone. There are a couple of brief pauses, but I managed to take out the big chunk where my microphone was muted. Yay, me!

ELM 700 Jul 06, 2024

Show notes

This episode covers training. We'll learn who's responsible for training, and we'll learn about management's responsibility to make sure we're all trained up. Their failure to meet that responsibility is the reason this podcast exists. At the end of the episode, we'll learn about our HERO training records, which you should review. Finally, the podcast end with Annie in the background scratching and clawing as she successfully unmakes the guest bed so she can lay down for a nap.
