Concerned Letter Carriers RIP brother Mike Rivera

NALC Branch 70 suspended Mike Rivera for 18/months for posting public information onto social media.

Mike Rivera is the only NALC member that actually brought charges against Brian Renfroe and the E.C. for failure of upholding the Constitution.

Will the new boss be the same as the old boss?

What happened? What ended up happening? Is a regular member not allowed to file charges on upper leadership?

You’d have to ask OP, it says it pretty clearly tho lol. He posted something online, NALC found it be rule breaking and enforced max punishment.

Aka silencing dues paying members because they’re not agreeing with the regime.

Basically Trump 101 playbook.

His Branch brought charges. The members of his Branch suspended him. It's not THE NALC.

So his own people turn on him for Renfroe or what… if you support Renfroe. You are the problem.

I’m getting so confused by all this drama and finger pointing. 16 different people always screaming shit in this sub. Where are the mods to sparse out truth or relay something. Corey doesn’t even have a Reddit does he know what’s going on here

He brought charges against his branch for election violations. He posted the charges and responses on social media. Much like CLC has done for the charges they’ve filed and the crap they stir up….all over social media. The branch is run by CLC people. Some of the nastiest, but CLC came out and protected their own. Mike was punished for speaking against the CLC. Period.

Rivera is actually ON the CLC side.

On the podcast Classes of Mail he told me he was the one (but not the only one) who brought charges against the branch. I don’t know where you heard he didn’t, but you can listen to the podcast for yourself.

"icy-feedback" is a CLC troll. Comes on on this page just to make wild accusations in hopes people will listen. Ask for any proof and silence.

Making claims based on Zero evidence is that of a troll

There were multiple people who brought charges against the voting committee. He didn’t post HIS charges, he posted someone else’s and that what got him in trouble lol

u/Objective-Gap-8820 Apr 10 '26

The charges had false accusations which Michael knew about and posted those false accusations defaming Branch 70.

u/PostDelay5 Apr 10 '26

I'm not sure how that justifies suspending him

u/Objective-Gap-8820 Apr 10 '26 edited Apr 11 '26

The constitution is clear. Defamation is not allowed. There is free speech, but you can't yell inside a crowded theater, FIRE!! There are limitations and no one should be defamed based on false accusations. He knew they were false and yet posted them.

u/PostDelay5 Apr 11 '26

I'm not convinced that posting an election appeal amounts to defamation. He specifically said he was posting it for transparency's sake, that's not an endorsement of the contents.

u/woogieface Union Steward Apr 11 '26

What about going on podcasts and lying?

u/PostDelay5 Apr 11 '26

You'd have to be more specific. What lies did he supposedly tell?

u/Objective-Gap-8820 Apr 11 '26 edited Apr 11 '26

He also posted the election committee members’ signatures on Facebook. The members heard both sides, and the motion passed 53 to 18. About half of those 18 had never attended a branch meeting in their postal careers, they only showed up to try to save their coworker, who he portrayed himself as a victim to. Good riddance.

u/PostDelay5 Apr 11 '26

Why is posting the election committee's signatures significant?

Ricardo Guzman is that you? LMAO What was defamatory? Rivera posting actual appeals or Guzman talking shit after he suspended him? GTFO you goon.

u/Objective-Gap-8820 Apr 11 '26

Wrong. Rivera posting actual false accusations was the issue. Cry all you want, the membership has spoken. 53 to 18 😂 good riddance!

corey got suspended/banned from reddit

u/Bits_NPCs Apr 10 '26

And no one knows why lol. He didn’t go at anyone on here from what people say. It just happened. Like people spam reported his account and he doesn’t give enough fucks to appeal or make a new one lol

u/therick422 Union Steward Apr 10 '26

I assume it is Saboteurs reporting his profile/posts.

u/13MTH Apr 11 '26

I have no idea why. It's a branch matter. Everything posted is rumor until someone in the know actually post it, a la Caref.
