Description
This podcast is a spin-off from the Classes of Mail podcast. Each episode will be short (about 5 minutes), and will cover topics that will empower you as a letter carrier. Listen on your way to work and learn your contractual rights, get pro tips for delivering the mail and staying safe, and hear messages aimed at improving your quality of life as a City Letter Carrier. The views expressed on this podcast are inherently my own, or those of my guests. They do not represent the official positions of the USPS, the NALC, or any other person or organization
