Episode 226: Beating managements telematics toy
Manage episode 473020477 series 2967863
In this episode, Corey discusses several critical issues facing city letter carriers, including management's increasing scrutiny regarding seat belt usage and the use of telematics. He emphasizes that the use of telematics for seat belt monitoring is a new tactic employed by management, and he argues it's a violation of the contract and a breach of procedural due process. Corey highlights multiple points in the National Agreement that he believes management is skirting to justify disciplinary actions against letter carriers, citing arbitrator case studies as precedent for his assertions. He outlines several arguments shop stewards can use to counter these actions, focusing heavily on the principle of corrective, rather than punitive, discipline. Key issues raised include the lack of local management access to telematics data, the perceived weaponization of seat belt policies, and the unilateral imposition of discipline without proper grievance procedures. Corey also addresses the CLC's upcoming campaign activities, including day of action rallies and Congressional outreach, calling for increased union support and engagement. He concludes by promoting a more aggressive and educated approach to responding to management tactics, suggesting the union should be proactive in countering these initiatives. A recurring theme throughout the episode is Corey's belief that current union leadership isn't adequately addressing the issues, and he plans to take a more forceful stance in the future. He also promotes various podcasts and encourages listeners to support the CLC and its efforts.
