**Classes of Mail**

This podcast is intended to empower city letter carriers. Through education, we’ll make ourselves better carriers who are immune to discipline and mistreatment by management, and are forces for positive change and reform within our own union. I do not speak for the USPS or NALC (or anybody else, for that matter!), this is not an official USPS or NALC podcast, and all opinions and advice are my own or my guests’. Submit feedback, questions, or topic suggestions to classesofmail@gmail.com .
