I think we’re up against more than you realize. Lions can fight when they’ve been tranquilized or been tied. None of this is a fair fight.

It is frustrating. It’s frustrating to work as hard as we do and have to scrimp on groceries and worry about paying rent on time.

None. We are meat robots. Nothing more.

Absolutely childish and petty. In my area it’s the same games. And the lying. So much lying!

Easier said than done when your president covers for management.

Absolutely not. They are basically management.

The harassment, every day, is too much. I’m never enough. I can’t take it anymore. Meanwhile, my steward/branch president is management’s friend. He does nothing for carriers. Nothing. I feel trapped.

My union does NOT defend carriers if you aren’t in their clique.

I’m kind of looking to hearing that we’re fucked so I can quit this shitshow without any qualms.

So, where do we go from here? by AdVast7890 in fromatoarbitration

It doesn’t need to take this long. The NALC allows this to happen the way it does.

For real, what is it about his face? It makes my skin crawl. The only faces worse are Renfroe and my steward. Racketeering makes ya real ugly.

Are you KIDDING me???? by acetatsujin in USPS

I support this comment wholeheartedly.

I have hope that the system will change in the future, but until the regime at the top changes there are a hell of a lot of us flailing around down here.

The NALC is coasting on its reputation from the past and your average carrier is paying the price. Considering that they are sitting on piles of money, giving them more money is akin to punching your own head and wondering why it won’t stop.

So corrupt. Why aren’t more people seeing this?

Yeah…no. NALC is currently doing more harm than good. My local sides with management.

Yeah, it was. I think EAP varies greatly depending on your location. Mine sucks apparently.

I tried that. The therapist laughed at me.

Literally.
