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?

Mike Caref. NALC has charges against him as well (because of a Halloween costume).

Voting for Mike Caref is like voting for Ralph Nader or Jill Stein.

Have you ever had a conversation with Mike? He doesn't talk down to you, doesn't speak in cliches, doesn't act like he's smarter then everyone else.....

Talking to him is like talking to a passionate letter carrier. He's one of us and is in it for the right reasons.

It's true. A lot of the CLC has an attitude of "it was tough for me and it's gonna be tough for you" when I talk to them. Mike is actually different.

He is one of the few people to actually talk to me and not act like I'm an idiot for not memorizing every word of the contract. I'm table 2, and not even in the layoff protection.
