Branch 9 of the NALC, and namely this individual, Tyler Vassar, who when I had originally posted on Reddit asking for attention, he's the one that I thought would be great for this interview. His branch, Branch 9, has passed a resolution to form an open bargaining strategy for contract negotiations and I hope this sweeps the nation. We're not allowed to strike, as I've mentioned,

And our leadership is so shy when it comes to activism or mobilization of the workforce. They don't want to touch the topic. The closest thing we have to it is a rally that is Enough is Enough that's being held in Baltimore soon about the violence that's being done to postal workers. We're being robbed and we're being harassed. But even then, we're...

The closest thing we have to it is a rally that is Enough is Enough that's being held in Baltimore soon about the violence that's being done to postal workers. We're being robbed and we're being harassed. But even then, we're...
missing a large chunk of the danger that is posed to postal workers. Because yes, we're being robbed on the streets, but we're also being bullied and harassed inside of our workplaces by management, by the people who are supposed to empower us to do the job effectively. And so... They don't want to touch the topic of a strike, I think, for fear of retaliation.

But to me, pushing for the right to strike is a... I'm not sure how to word this. It is such an important part of the NALC's identity, the postal strike of 1970, that it seems silly to ignore it today and pretend like it didn't happen. Yeah. So for the future, I think that activism is our key to success.

If we are transparent about our union, what we're asking for, the issues that we're facing, I think that the public would be on our side. If the people in America knew that management was falsifying time records or training records and interfering with workers' comps claim and back pay,
