Episode 85: Salted peanuts with an emphasis on management's denial of advanced sick leave request

This episode centers on a conflict between Corey and the leadership of the National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC). Corey defends his decision to create a podcast focused on educating letter carriers about their rights, particularly regarding workplace issues and contract interpretation. He argues that this educational mission is essential, as many carriers are being taken advantage of due to a lack of knowledge about their rights. This commitment to education persists despite the NALC actively attempting to silence him, including blackballing him from official union activities and expelling him from the National Convention. Corey sees this response, driven by a desire to suppress information and maintain control, as detrimental to the rank-and-file members. He emphasizes the importance of information as power and encourages carriers to seek knowledge from any available source.
