Episode 98: Spicy salted peanuts with an emphasis on HERO training falsification.

This episode focuses on grievances related to alleged management misconduct and the lack of support from the union. Corey begins by acknowledging JB Leath's absence due to baseball commitments and promises to cover the one-day count grievance in a future episode. He then dives into multiple listener emails and messages, detailing issues like management's alleged falsification of heat training records and attempts to enforce arbitrary time limits (e.g., one hour office time, 22 minutes loading time). Corey highlights a concerning pattern of management imposing new standards and policies without clear contractual basis, and without adequate union response. He critiques the union's perceived inaction and lack of proactive measures in addressing these issues. He also discusses a letter of warning for a carrier who experienced a minor accident, arguing that the wording and accusations are overly harsh and lack justification. Corey emphasizes the importance of carriers documenting instances of perceived harassment or intimidation and the critical need for proactive grievance filing. He then outlines the issues with mandatory scanners, threats made regarding completion of routes, and the noncompliance of existing grievance agreements by management. He specifically details the steps involved in falsifying HERO training records and argues for a class-action grievance against the management. As a remedy, Corey advocates for $50 per calendar day for every affected carrier from April 1, 2023, until the actual training is successfully completed. The podcast concludes with Corey reiterating his commitment to representing letter carriers, calling out perceived inadequacies in the union's response, and challenging any union officials to a public debate on the discussed issues.
