They don't want you to use your leave. Jesus Christ. I'm going to file an unfair labor practice because they've been doing that a lot at my office as well. It reminds me a lot, our issues of your recent episode. I think it was you about the nurses union, the shift change episode. Yeah.

Their members are dealing with a lot of the same things where the unions are so big that they become detached from the membership. And we are finding out afterwards what our bargaining agreements are, what our strategy was. Everything's after the contract has been signed. And that's just not how unions were meant to be. They're meant to be from the bottom up, by the workers, for the workers.

But it really does feel like national is its own entity. And so I guess that would bring us to talking about the union and the future of the union.

So I got to be careful here because Brian Renfro, he's our national leader of the union. He's been struggling with problems in his personal life. And I don't feel like I'm ousting him as it's public knowledge, at least within the post office, it's public knowledge. He's dealing with substance abuse, with alcoholism. And that's something that hits very close to home within my family and

And I really don't want to demonize that he's struggling. But what I do want to say is when you're going through something like that and you've accepted a position on the national level like this, you really need to either step down or appoint someone to handle things in your place. As negotiations started over a year ago, he kind of went missing.

And it was later revealed that he was an inpatient, which is fine. Get your help. But there was nothing left, no notes left for us to strategize with. And our membership is just in the dark. And beyond that, the leadership has gone missing. It's very dark times for the NALC.

Well, yeah, that's kind of the funny thing about joining a union from an anarchist perspective. It gets a little funky how hierarchical they typically are and the problems that we know we are going to face when you have a system that's built like a pyramid. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah. And so I was saying we're in dark times, but there's such a bright future that I can see for us.
