This episode begins with Corey's expression of gratitude to listeners and acknowledges the shift in his podcast format, now under the banner "The Lions' Den," a new name. Before moving on to his discussion of cases, Corey introduces two special guests: Jenna and Stephanie, who are actively involved in efforts to instigate a special convention within the NALC. He then gives a brief rundown on what it means to prepare and when, with a good overview of Robert's Rules of Order. During their interview, Jenna and Stephanie highlight the importance of the upcoming meetings for a special meeting, calling for all branches to send a letter requesting the meeting. The two women's main focus is ensuring that the voices of the membership are heard. Then, the episode proceeds to discuss two particularly valuable arbitration decisions and provides examples of when the union has gone and gotten the city letter carriers back pay. The First Case tackled a "new argument at Step B" situation, where management had introduced a new argument at Step B, and shows the importance of thorough preparation and a strong argument. The Second Case: The second decision focuses on the issue of "hour office time." Corey details the specific circumstances of the case, where management tried to implement a policy of a one-hour office time limit, leading to increased pressure and disciplinary actions against the carriers. The arbitrator ruled in favor of the union, emphasizing that the enforcement of such a policy without proper adherence to the contract violated the agreement and proper time practices. In addition, he discusses the remedy ordered and its impact. He then discussed a few key points from a grievance that could be helpful in any instance. He reviews article one as a base foundation, and violations of section 131 and 41 of the M-41, showing how to request to use the 3996 and how it can be violated. Memos and letters from management are all key for winning in this type of grievance. A main theme is that the union's goal should be a high level of integrity, as well as the importance of, especially in the case of new carriers, knowing what their rights are and not taking what management says at face value. http://www.fromatoarbitration.com/…

This episode of The Lions' Den focuses on six-day route counts. Corey starts by discussing the importance of documenting any street-waiting time on the form 1838-C and emphasizes that management is likely to try and manipulate street time. He provides a detailed explanation of various aspects of the M-41 and M-39 handbooks related to package delivery, focusing on the correct procedures to ensure accurate time recording. He stresses the significance of using the 3996 when requesting additional time and highlights the importance of being familiar with the relevant regulations. Corey stresses how to prepare and document the 3996 for the day of a grievance. Corey reads from a decision from arbitration of what the law is and tells the letter carriers the 3996 is what you do for your hours. He says the carriers have to remember who is going to provide an audit trail for management of their DOIS system and what must be entered. The episode emphasizes again that management can not dictate what you do; you have the right to be a part of the process. The episode concludes with a reminder about the ongoing importance of accurate record-keeping in the context of six-day counts and that they should be documenting. www.concernedlettercarriers.com…

This episode features a passionate and critical discussion of the state of the NALC, with a primary focus on a recent executive council meeting. Corey begins by emphasizing that he is now speaking as the CLC's Director of Education, a deliberate shift to focus exclusively on educational topics, and then dives into the core subject of the episode which is a candid discussion about what he perceives as a constitutional crisis within the union. He criticizes Renfroe for his arrogance, which is damaging and divisive. He highlights an audio recording from a business agent, discussing why they dismissed charges against Renfroe and Barner. Corey then reads the text of the actual charges filed against President Renfroe and Executive Vice President Barner, which included allegations of failing to report official acts, neglecting convention resolutions, failing to initiate arbitration timely, bypassing required membership ratification, and failing to provide a complete report of acts. Corey argues that this was a violation of the constitution, and he has strong criticism for the Executive Council, accusing them of putting themselves before the best interests of the members. Corey ends by reiterating his call for the city letter carriers and the union to make changes and support those advocating for reforms. http://www.fromatoarbitration.com/…
