Description

This episode of From A to Arbitration is a passionate discussion on Corey's concerns about the NALC's current leadership and management's tactics, particularly concerning a new tool called CDPOM (City Delivery Pivoting Opportunity Model). Corey begins by acknowledging a technical issue and previews upcoming episodes on emergency placement cases. The episode centers on Corey's critique of management's use of CDPOM, which he claims is a tool designed to create undertime situations for carriers and bypass contractual obligations. He contends that the tool is based on historical data, and management's use of it is a tactic to manipulate carriers' workload without proper consideration for the actual conditions of each route. Corey explicitly argues that the union's current approach is inadequate in countering management's tactics and lacks the necessary proactive measures to defend letter carriers. He stresses that the union leadership has failed to adequately educate the members on how to fight back against this new tool. He analyzes several precedents from past arbitration cases (particularly episode 52, which is highlighted as a crucial resource) to illustrate how similar issues were resolved. The episode showcases his knowledge of relevant contract provisions and arbitration precedents, demonstrating his strategy for how to challenge management's use of CDPOM. He highlights the lack of provisions in the contract protecting carriers from manipulation and pressure, and that the union's failure to address these systemic issues has resulted in carriers being vulnerable. The episode's theme is a call for a stronger, more militant, and educated union. Corey urges the audience to educate themselves on their rights and the relevant contract provisions (such as Article 41 and M-01769) to be able to counter management's aggressive actions. He emphasizes that the union leadership needs to step up and advocate for its members proactively. Corey concludes by emphasizing his commitment to educating and empowering letter carriers, offering to share resources for challenging management's tactics. http://www.fromatoarbitration.com/
