Episode 158: Accountability, Transparency, and the Future of the NALC: A Conversation with Presidential Candidate James D. Henry

<p>This isn’t politics as usual this is <em>The Hot House.</em></p><p>In this episode, we sit down with James D. Henry, candidate for National President of the National Association of Letter Carriers, for one of the most direct and unfiltered conversations about the future of our union.</p><p>We’re talking about the real issues carriers are dealing with every day forced overtime, excessive discipline, staffing shortages, and a grievance system buried under thousands of cases. Nothing is dodged. Nothing is sugarcoated.</p><p>We press on transparency why carriers feel disconnected from leadership and what will actually change. We challenge contract decisions, “give-back” negotiations, and the culture inside the union itself. And we go even deeper into union democracy, accountability, and where the line is drawn between leadership and control.</p><p>We also tackle the future: the rise of artificial intelligence, electronic monitoring, and what it all means for the job of a letter carrier inside the United States Postal Service.</p><p>This episode isn’t about promises it’s about answers.</p><p>If you’re a letter carrier who’s frustrated, paying attention, or wondering what comes next… this is one you don’t want to miss.</p><p></p>
