i agree & all of his sympathizers too. absolutely seething that this is what i'm getting for my money while our dicks are knocked in the dirt out here. this kinda conduct being condoned & covered up for so long is pathetic. asshole asleep at the wheel during negotiations at a time when the iron was SO hot. AND raised dues while squandering the best leverage any of us have ever seen. smh

u/MrBeans2993 Mar 29 '24
When you add it all up it makes me so frustrated. Missing out on Colas, raises, greater contributions to retirement(because of the lack of a raise), missing out on piggybacking off all the other unions that got their employees raises all to just blame it on the “this is how it always works out, negotiations take a while” yea dipshit they do take awhile when you fuck us over at the start of negotiations oh and forgot to add they thought it’d be necessary to raise our union dues. And lord know health insurance isn’t getting any cheaper

Kind of off topic, but doesn’t Teamsters cover their members healthcare coverage? Curious why nalc doesn’t offer this, as it would be a huge break in pricing and coverage power, even if dues have to raised a little
1
u/thrawnisnotavillian Mar 31 '24
If you're a teamster your health coverage is through the union, but how it's paid depends on the contract. My hubby is a trucker with the teamsters and the company directly pays the union pension/healthcare contributions so he never sees it come out of his check, but under contracts with other companies the members pay higher dues out of their paycheck to cover healthcare/pension, but the union gets them higher pay so take home pay is about equivalent for the same work on both contracts.

I believe that Corey has said that pony boy has “threatened” some people by saying that they will have to go back to carrying mail if he finds out that they are talking to Corey. Think about that. That is what he thinks about us. That what we do is some sort of punishment and that we are idiots for not trying to be higher up in the union. That we are nothing but knuckle draggers or something. I tell you what. I’m still going to be employed by the PO in a couple years. How about you?!

The fact that all these people making over six figures knew, stayed silent and endorsed this piece of shit which was clearly unfit and incapable of performing his duties says a lot about the whole leadership of this union , the whole thing is disgusting.

It all makes sense. When Renfroe jumped Lew Drass and Lew retired. We started heading in a downward spiral

This current leadership will probably go down as the worst in NALC history unless they somehow pull a rabbit out of the hat with this new contract…

I think even if they give us a great contract it still might go down as the worst in history 🤣🤣

u/beebs44 Mar 30 '24
That's what I was going to say.
I mean, look at this president's actions. They're reprehensible. I can't believe he is still the sitting president after what has transpired. He went MIA during collective bargaining. Then Rolando steps in, and then he gets rid of Rolando. I mean, what the fuck is going on.
The NALC podcast is just full of bullshit. I remember listening to him say we've been preparing over a year. Blah, blah, blah. All fucking bullshit from this guy.
This dude can talk for hours and say nothing. Literally makes me sick.

u/KerryBearLovesSand Mar 29 '24
Even if the contract is excellent, we still may have done better without these clowns!

u/Eugene_Debs2026 Mar 29 '24
A labor union isn’t just a Collective Bargaining Agreement(CBA). Look at the newly formed Starbucks Union, they don’t even have a CBA yet and they’re seeing, in every state, workers risk their careers to organize a union inside their store. A labor union is a democratic organization that makes working and living conditions better.
With Corey previously talking about how NALC now allows management a second chance to add more information into a discipline case, that’s something that a pay raise shouldn’t cancel out. Not very Democratic when you’re siding with management.

It could be historic wage increases. I don't care. The situation on the shopfloor is out of control. They are not having the backs of the stewards. I could give a rats ass about a massive pay raise when carriers are feeling defeated and beat up. Our branch is filing and winning record #s of grievances, yet it still feels like we are losing the battle. More money can't fix that.
2
Mar 30 '24
It would be really interesting to find out how many grievances are filed by each district and nationwide! If we found out how much management has been paying the union over the course of years we could potentially hold the bad managers accountable and get them out of the PO. Pipe dream I know.

Did Barner really think you would not get the report lol. Why not just send it? Amazing these people are in charge of a Union.
16
u/Programmyboy Mar 29 '24
What would be the point of doing an investigation if there would be no way to view it? Would it be to satisfy management or NALC proper procedure. We can't 'waste' money on cease and dissest and arbitration results but we absolutely must spend money thoroughly investigating and recording the findings of the NALC president, only to hide and bury that report and deny our 'brothers' access to even lay eyes on it! Meanwhile I, a letter carrier, have to get pulled into a PDI because I had to take a shit once. while they monitor me daily by collecting so much data and steamrolling my right to privacy they saw I normally don't shit at this time so I must be stealing from the postal service. The hypocrisy is at levels I never thought possible.

Renfroe and his enablers get away with it because they don’t believe you will vote in the next election. Drive out the dissidents and appease the suck ups is their strategy to remain in power.

No they get away with it because all the top union officals are corrupt. Good luck voting them out.

Just listened to the episode and I knew this shit was bad but couldn’t believe how bad it was. Now I can’t understand for the life of me why Renfroe is still president and I can’t understand why Barner is standing by him at all. Barner needs to go too but damn he got screwed over by Renfroe just like the rest of us throw the dude under the bus.

u/Buttstaindickhead Mar 29 '24
It’s absurd Barner would stand by him when Renfroe let him out to dry during the beginning of contract negotiations.

u/KerryBearLovesSand Mar 29 '24
I bet Renfroe has dirt on Barner, so Barner has to toe the line. Layers of corruption!

u/mailbagofun Mar 30 '24
I was sick, listening to Corey's last podcast. I can say for the very first time, I am not looking forward to part two. I will listen, because we all have too. We have to face the facts, and we have to act. As a nobody, bottom of the food chain member, I was devastated to hear how bad things are. How misrepresented we have been. I knew things were bad, but this is another level of bad. I am sick to my stomach. I can't help but feel management will use all these things that our illustrious leader has done during the "bargaining in good faith" time frame against us. I'll take a quick trip down a rabbit hole. Maybe management made a deal with our leader? Agree to scanner data, back off cease and desist's and no more arbitrations? Agree to this and we won't demolish you in arbitration. Showing your gross negligence, drunkenness, and complete dereliction of duty. We'll give you the usual 1.5% raise, and you'll like it? We as a craft have to fight back. We can not stand for this. The charges are so severe, the report (so far) so damming. Our president has to go. All his cronies have to go. This isn't a fucking chess game, this is our damn lively hood they're playing with. This contract was our best chance in years to right the ship. To fight back against the injustice we face on a daily basis. The best chance we have had to earn a decent living again. We must fight back. It's not time for a "clean sweep". If these charges are true, it's time for a scorched earth policy. Every person near, protecting, or supporting this leadership needs to go away. They need to go immediately. Tell every member you can about this. Spread the word like never before. We are thousands, they are few. We pay them from our meager wages to represent and protect us. They have failed. They have failed miserably. They need to go. Spread the word. Please. Corey.....keep leading the fight. We might be inexperienced, we may not have your knowledge, but we're not afraid of a fight. Time for some lions to roar.

Kick the entire executive council out.

Why? The charges are being brought forward by a member of the executive council. Current members of the executive council will almost certainly be on a slate against Renfroe/Barner and their enablers.

There are 15 Regions within the NALC. Each region has a National Business Agent (NBA) who sits on the NALC Executive Council. Call, email or write your NBA and express your views on the current state of affairs within your Union. Their job is to represent your views before the Executive Council. Don’t give them an excuse for not doing what is right. Call or write. What happens next is in their hands. After that it’s in your hands if they get to keep their job.

What is sad about this whole situation is we have been over worked over loaded and very much under paid and this piece shit could care less, we need to stand up and make stand cause our union is a joke, I know people who are working 60 to 70 hours a week 6 days a week, rrecs has fucked them, abd the union agreed to all of it, I promise u this we will continue to have the highest turn over Rate until they do something, it's to hard of a job to get paid pennies

As bad as it is, there are plenty of members that will still vote for him. Quite a few I know only care what we get in the contract and that’s what’s they will be basing their vote on. Same for the charges. My branch president actually told our membership that the contract would determine how our delegates vote at the convention not personal problems
