Badmouth here, from the recent MPU video about the shit at the Post Office.

Was looking to get in touch with the ICHH cats. I know Mia’s beat is labor. And I know her & the rest are busy af with the incoming administration’s shenanigans.

But I thought there was an email address/contact info. And I can’t seem to find it.

Hey great episode the other day on From A to Arbitration.

Weird seeing dudes cross over from two completely unrelated podcasts that I listen to haha

Hahaha, oh shit! Was not expecting to run into a From A listener over here. Just trying to get the word out about what the PO & NALC are up to.

And thanks! Was definitely shooting from the hip. Writing the next one right now. I’m assuming you work with the NALC or NRLCA? If so, feel free to DM me. We can talk shop.

Edit: I fuck up acronyms.

Yeah our union is in need of a serious overhaul right now. I did 2 years as a CCA and that shit is hot garbage. You're doing good work saying what needs to be said.

Glad you stood up because it's like they said in the "you all ready know how to organize" episode, guys with a good personality and good speaking ability are infinitely useful in organizing. You got the gift of gab brother. Looking forward to hearing what else you have to say.

I'll definitely shoot you some episode ideas over in your DMs if I think of any. Keep up the good work.

Fuck, man. That means a lot. Yeah, please reach out. Change comes from the bottom up & power is built horizontally. The NALC represents 277,000 people. And the more of us holler together, the louder our voice is. Remind the upper crust that there ain’t no pie without the pan grease.

Hey friend, I actually did an episode with Mia about the post office earlier this year. I'll reach out and ask about doing an update episode

Thanks man , wanna shoot me a DM with a way to contact you off reddit? I would love to facilitate a conversation and interview. Or figure out together how to present this the best we can.

u/Sharp-Level7346 12d ago

I DM’d you my email, I thought? I’ll triple check & get you my number too.

If she hadn’t been taken off/intentionally removed herself from Twitter. I would have recommended you message her there since she posted regularly.

Robert posts on Reddit, maybe you could message him here?

u / probablyrobertevans is his handle I think.

This is a link to an episode I did with Mia about the post office. A lot has changed since then, and admittedly it was my first time on any kind of platform. I would love to see more on this major issue and have reached out to her. Frankly, I'd want to just hear what other stewards and branches have to say.

With the trump administration aiming to privatize , this could cost people their livelihoods and lives. I am truly saddened that any of my predictions have been validated. And I am even more saddened the American people don't know what's coming.

Oh dope. What’s the episode title? Link is giving me trouble.

u/pacotetaco 13d ago

It is weekly episode 127 , the first episode. Unfortunately they have not posted the original solo episode and I never followed up with them as I was a ptf at the time and so so drained

u/Sharp-Level7346 13d ago

Ooooooooh. That’s why I’m having trouble finding it.

Appreciate you, friend 🙏

u/Sharp-Level7346 13d ago

Yep. That’s why I missed it. I don’t usually listen to the weekly round ups (unless I take a week off of tech) because I’m already tackling the daily episodes out on my route.
