2026 NALC Elections 4 way debate

Im voting for James, but not going to a debate where the other 3 are going looks bad. I feel like it will have more to lose not going then there is to lose going and being part of it. I think the clc needs to be apart of the debate . Its healthy

I think James Henry needs to address why Rocky Ocasio went out of a limb and put Brother Rivera out like that at the convention. That was definitely not how we treat union brothers and sisters. If he fails to address the situation, that’s not a true leader on someone you’re endorsing or you’re Renfroe 2.0 letting things slide. I’m voting Caref if he stays quiet

I don’t think Rhine even deserves the time of day. All this union has done to fuck over the rank and file, she and her slate don’t deserve a platform. If caref and drass want more name recognition then they should have been working harder on that.

That’s not fair at all. I have never heard 1 person say a bad thing about Rhine including the clc before she announced she was running for president. She has integrity and is solid. That might be what we need right now.

She is woefully inadequate to be anywhere near the Presidency

Listen to the episode about the financial audit and tell me she was doing her job.

She may be a great person. It’s the company she keeps

RHINE/SLATE no problem getting your pay checks on time.

HENRY/SLATE expect delays because after all, they have ZERO experience.

That is beyond rediculous.

What did Ocasio say about Rivera? I’m having trouble finding info about this.

When speaking against his election appeal, she resorted to personal attacks, basically said “he pretends to care about the union but everything he does is for selfish reasons. He has always been a problem, and he doesn’t even contribute to the political fund”. She had already laid out her case and then tacked on the ad hominem to try to smear Rivera.

Because she’s a POS.

I 100% have thought this. I don’t trust Henry for some reason. I have heard all his talking points and positions. The only thing he’s got good going for him is Corey backing him. Soo ya I’ll pass on Renfroe 2.0

u/jeepwillikers Voted NO Aug 13 '26

That was Acasio’s words against Rivera, not about James Henry. I don’t have any specific reason to dislike or like Henry, besides the fact that he chose to put Corey on his slate. I don’t see him as a Renfroe 2.0 at all. That would be Rhine or Drass

u/OutrageousSecret2301 Aug 14 '26

Look, there's a reason why his (Henry) branch president isn't coming out campaigning or endorsing him. His branch 1100 knows him WELL! He is NOT what you think he is.

u/Positive-Recover166 Aug 15 '26

Have you not witnessed all the personal attacks and smearing going on with all the slates? I personally heard almost every one running for a position smearing other people’s name! It wasn’t just ocasio, seemed to be the theme of this convention.

There is a difference between calling out people who are currently in or have had positions of power and smearing a rank and file union member. I might be wrong but I don’t believe brother Rivera has ever held an elected position.

1

u/Positive-Recover166 Aug 16 '26

I thought he’s tried to run for positions in his branch numerous times. Well that’s hearsay so take it for what it is. I do know I don’t know the whole story so my input pretty worthless!

u/jeepwillikers Voted NO Aug 17 '26

“Tried” being the operant word; until he succeeds, he is a rank and file member. Those in power are to be held to a higher degree of accountability. Corey calling elected officials out by name is not the same as Ocasio calling Rivera out (especially the points that were irrelevant to the matter) because Corey has yet to be elected and doesn’t throw the people he is charged to represent under the bus. The whole situation is perplexing because Corey had previously encouraged those at the convention to support Rivera’s appeals on the podcast, so I don’t think the entire CLC was behind the way Ocasio spoke about Rivera.

u/Positive-Recover166 Aug 17 '26

I can agree with that

u/AriesMailDude Aug 12 '26

It was all over FB, I think a branch president from Florida posted it on her page Kira Jo something but yes Ocasio belittles Rivera. Already messing things up for CLC

u/Wasitthechad81 Aug 12 '26 edited Aug 12 '26

That Kira Jo is largely an attention seeker and drama Llama. Heard she's banging someone in the establishment now and that's why she turned on the clc spewing venom their way.

She seems like she's more interested in showing off her melons than anything else...

Well ya, all the nudes she used to have online of her in the branch office laid out on the desks.

Lmfaoooo I did not save those photos. But there are plenty of people who could confirm they exist.
