"Postal Service Privatization Fears: The Truth from Union Leader Rich Ray"
Episode Description:
In this eye-opening episode, we sit down with Rich Ray, Second Vice President of Branch 41 (Brooklyn and Staten Island Letter Carriers), to address the growing concerns about postal service privatization. Rich brings over 24 years of union experience to cut through the rumors and provide clarity on what's really happening inside the USPS.

Key Topics Covered:

  • Can the President privatize the postal service through executive order?
  • The real challenges facing the postal service (hint: it's not the craft employees)
  • Why privatization would take at least a decade to implement, if it ever happens
  • How to protect yourself if you're injured on the job
  • The importance of union representation and knowing your rights
  • Why supervisors who threaten employees over injury reports are violating federal law

Notable Quotes:

  • "They've been talking about privatizing us since 1974." - Rich Ray
  • "Knowledge is power. Be with your union. Go to the union meetings. Don't be worried to report problems." - Rich Ray
  • "The postal service is like a dirt rail. It's not that simple to sell us off or take us over."
