Description

A Podcast for, by, and about Table 2 City Carriers at the USPS. The NALC has not made Table 2 a priority, nor has anybody else. So, we will do it ourselves. We will form a ticket for national office that will make getting back the wages and benefits Table 1 received our priority because we are a union and you cannot have unity when you endorse anti-union policies like a two tiered pay scale. We will also discuss how to fix the structure of the NALC, as well as ways to fix the USPS. Legal: this is an opinion podcast. Statements do not reflect the official views of the NALC or the USPS, etc.

Episode 22: Rolando Testimony Part 2

2026/10/21

I didn't make an intro to this one, its just part 2 of the Rolando testimony to the Das arbitration panel. Andy has his own inputs :-)

Episode 21: Andy Reads 2012 Rolando Testimony

2026/09/21

My buddy Andy has a better voice and higher reading capability than I do. Thus, I chose him to read the disturbing testimony that Fred Rolando submitted to the Das arbitration panel in 2012. In order to understand how we got where we are today, its important to understand what lead to the Das decision. This testimony explains how we got that decision. Thanks Andy

Episode 20: Andy, Forum reviews, Election thoughts.

2026/09/19

Cohost Andy joins me again to discuss a few zoom meetings we recently attended. We also briefly discuss our thoughts on the current NALC national election, whether actions are more important than words, and other random topics. Disclaimer; at some point I may refer to all candidates as Shi*, that was not well thought out or explained. I simply meant that nobody is a table 2 carrier and thus none of the current candidates represent our perspective.

Episode 19: Contract Leverage with Mike Caref

2026/09/09

In this episode we have on Mike Caref to discuss what we have as leverage in the event that he wins the presidency and ends up taking our current negotiations to arbitration. We discuss the comparability factor written into law, the increased safety concerns, and other topics that would most likely come up as reasons we deserve a good contract.

Episode 18: Another chat with Andy.

2026/09/03

Andy is back on to discuss our local branch meeting and to discuss the recent presidential roundtables.

Episode 17: Chatting with Table 2 carrier Michael Balestra

2026/09/01

Today we sat down with Michael Balestra, a fellow table 2 carrier. Balestra is one of many carriers that came to the USPS and NALC a bit later in life so we sit down and discuss table 2 issues from that perspective.

Episode 16: A Chat with an old college buddy

2026/08/31

Again, unscripted probably isn't my best version. Today I took the time to chat with an old buddy from college to discuss... whatever. I don't know if anything is useful for carriers, things went a little sideways.

Episode 15: Question Everything. Rethink Everything.

2026/08/28

It's been a while! Today I just go over a bunch of random stuff that popped into my head over the last few weeks. Some topics : the national convention, Economics, CLC statements. Any input and any feedback is greatly appreciated.

Episode 14: As Wrong As The Wrong Itself.

2026/03/19

Todays episode is a rant. I need to work on my positivity, but it's hard when you continue to watch the membership get manipulated. In todays episode we talk about the CLC some more. We cover a recent interaction on FATAs discord. We talk about what I view as the CLC's strategy and why I think its bad for carriers. We also briefly talk about contract negotiations and why you shouldn't believe a certain NALC president.

Episode 13 : An Old Chat with Coworker Andy

2026/03/15

This episode was recorded back in January! I don't even remember what is on it! Andy was new to union stuff and had been a 204b so I wanted to get his take. Hopefully we do some updates if he gets deeper into the union. Also, it was the first attempt at recording with more than one person, IN PERSON and so I'm sorry about the audio quality.

Episode 12: Mike Caref Part 2

2026/03/04

Today we sat down again with presidential hopeful Mr. Caref to finish a few questions we didn't get around to the first time.

Episode 11: A chat with Margo O'Neill

2026/02/24

Feb 23rd I sat down with Margo O'Neill. We talked about her time in politics, her work on next generation carriers pod, her connection to BFN, some bigger picture ideas, and her cat :-) below is some info on upcoming pieces for both BFN and Next Gen Carriers! https://www.fightingnalc.com/constitutional-convention here's for the March 1 convention!! https://www.nextgenerationcarriers.com/zoomHere's for the next time NGC is recording with Walt McGregory!

Episode 10: Mike Caref Part 1

2026/02/23

In this episode we sit down with NBA and presidential aspirant Mike Caref. In order to understand those looking to lead the union, we have to understand their thought process, their point of view, their convictions. Hopefully this conversation provides a little more insight into Brother Caref. It did run long, I'm still a massive work in progress, thank you for any feedback.

Episode 9: A long chat with Brother Michael Rivera

2026/02/22

On this episode I have a conversation with another rank and file Table 2 carrier, Michael Rivera. We discuss everything from article 10 charges to local election procedure.

Episode 8: Local Railroading with Alan Gegax and Michael Brasaemle.

2026/01/22

In this conversation with Alan Gegax and Michael Brasaemle we discuss some local railroading I've recently experienced. We discuss the mentality and some techniques local branches use to stop reform or simply protect their power.

Outrage…..so

As a table 2 carrier, I can agree that there is a foundational injustice in the 2 tiered pay system in the NALC. Past that, I’m not really following ...

The NALC left its membership

The actions of NALC President Brian Renfroe give an example of a Union that has left it’s membership. Leaving the NALC hurts your local branch, but I...

Informative

Great podcast about the foundational problems of the USPS and NALC and why it won’t work until things change from the bottom up.
