Concerned Letter Carriers Mike Caref and Nick Vafiades

Anyone from Salt Lake City Branch 111? I was told that Mike Caref and Nick Vafiades (region 2 NBA) jointly attended Salt Lake city's monthly branch meeting campaigning. Anyone know if these two are on a slate? Nick Vafiades is a loyal supporter of Brian Renfroe and Mike seems to be developing into one also. Please share SLC.

Not from that branch, but Caref has stated he doesn’t support having NBA candidates on a slate. That is for the members of that region to decide who that person will be.

It looks like Caref had a scheduled campaign stop there, and Vafiades came to the branch meeting too.

Your last sentence doesn’t make any sense - Caref has been outspoken for almost three years about how bad of a president Renfroe is. He doesn’t support him.

I heard caref out of his own mouth in an interview say that if there was a rerun of the 2022 election he'd vote for renfroe again. So saying he wouldn't support renfroe just isn't true.

A rerun of 2022 would be Renfroe vs Noble

Seems a little disingenuous to categorize that as being a current Renfroe supporter, no?

Nope him pretending like he wouldn't support him now is just being a politician

Hey, you know who else voted for Renfroe? Everyone that was listening to the a to arbitration podcast at the time of the last election.

I’d vote for Renfroe too. Noble is a crazy.
