Show Notes
Corey reflects on the rewarding experience of empowering letter carriers to advocate for themselves and celebrate victories. He contrasts this with the deeply upsetting reality of union leadership failing to adequately support these advocates, particularly by not enforcing “cease and desist” orders against management overwork. He recounts his personal experience burning out and quitting as a union representative after facing similar struggles with inadequate support. He encourages listeners not to quit, referencing his own story as a cautionary tale while emphasizing the need for solidarity and collective action. He concludes with a rallying cry, calling on his fellow union members to join him in fighting for their rights.
