Episode 26: Leading the Pack (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It's been awhile, but we are back. We've been taking some time to reflect on recent events, and now we are moving onward and upward. We discuss a recent win in congress with the Protect Our Letter Carriers Act reaching majority in the House, and we talk about some National awards our branch received. Make sure you stick around until the end to hear another update on what Cristal has been up to. Stay tuned!
Episode 25: Talking AFL-CIO and LCPF with Jon "Badmouth" Morris (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On this episode, I take a break from Gencon to chat with the one and only Jon "Badmouth" Morris. He's a member of the standup slate, a group of movers and shakers running for AFL-CIO Delegate positons.
Part 2: A Short Response (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It's been awhile, but we're back...kinda. With Ken still mostly out of commission due to his recent knee surgery, we managed to squeeze in a quick recording to get a little bit of his response to what has been going on.
Part 1: The Meeting (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Unfortunately, Ken was having some technical difficulties. We will be posting more parts to continue explaining what's going on. In the meantime, Cristal will speak to the events at the June branch meeting which, in our opinion, is where the first domino of all this got pushed over.
