Someone actually said I do good interviews. That’s wild to hear.
Solidarity.

Now that the E.C. jumped from Renfroe this highlights how undemocratic this mechanism of is.

Hear why Chris Reed is running against the CLC endorsed NBA.
Why do the 4 separate postal unions not work together on uniting for national days of actions?
Also, with nearly 300,000 members the NALC should have a solidarity network database/application where members can receive notifications for actions to attend.
Josh Towne is a rank and file Table 2 city carrier running for AFL-CIO Delegate. The 2026 NALC delegates will be voting Thursday on this, sorry rank and file you don’t truly get a vote on that.

Also; Jonathan Smith the President of the APWU agreed to go on Towne’s podcast: Solidarity Report. - After the 2026 NALC election tho.

Start Quote
“Brian isn't running and Eddie said he wouldn't run if that were the case.
That ought to give people pause.
Jumping in at the last hour without putting forward a platform and giving people a chance to vet your slate. All 13 promoted NBAs are men, this isn't 1950 anymore. A trustee slate who never held the current President accountable for his spending. And several NBAs who have voted with Renfroe and never said boo.
Even a couple of them argued on the convention floor in Boston that we shouldn't have open bargaining nor should we file a National level grievance for the DRT backlog.
Lots of status quo career union officials on this slate. No table 2 carriers on the slate. Seems woefully short.”

Both of them are on the 2026 ‘Stand Up’ Slate at this NALC Convention. Running for AFL-CIO delegates.
Sarah Jaronczyk (Cuello) & Margo Rose O'Neill to hear about their experience at the PO, their work in the broader labor movement, & why they think it’s important that organizers from table 2 have some representation at National.
Sadly, general membership doesn’t vote on AFL-CIO delegates, only NALC Convention delegates do. 🤷🏻
The 'Stand Up' Slate will be nominated and voted on at the 2026 NALC Convention. They’re running for the AFL-CIO delegate positions.
If you support the slate, make sure to tell your Branch Delegate(s) to 'Stand Up'.
Slate members: Chris P. (Branch 18), Margo O’Neill (Branch 352), John M. (Branch 4716), Sarah Cuello (Branch 825), Jon M. (Branch 226), and Josh Towne (Branch 55)
Sarah Cuello, NALC Branch 825, needs a minute of your day, your support, and you to Stand Up.
Sarah is running for one of the AFL-CIO Delegate positions that’ll be voted on at the 2026 NALC Convention this August in LA by your NALC Branch Delegate.
She’s running on the ‘Stand Up’ slate and wants to empower all NALC members to stand up and vote for the ‘Stand Up’ slate.
Chris Persampieri, NALC Branch 18, is running for a AFL-CIO convention delegate position for the NALC. The nomination and voting will take place this August at the 2026 NALC Convention.
Chris is running with the ‘Stand Up Slate’ and is asking for your NALC Branch Delegate support.
Will you stand up with Chris?
The Next Generation Carriers podcast will be going live next Tuesday, 7/7 at 7:30 PM EST, to talk with members of the Stand Up Slate running for National AFL-CIO Delegate at the NALC Convention in Los Angeles.
NALC has 7 delegate positions for the AFLCIO 2030 Convention. We’re running 6 city carriers:
- Chris Persampieri
- Margo O’Neill
- John Murphy
- Sarah Cuello
- John Morris
- Josh Towne
We are running because these positions should be more than ceremonial.
Labor needs delegates who will stand up, organize, and fight for a real working-class platform: 1.) a 32-hour workweek with no loss in pay, 2.) single-payer healthcare, 3.) a workers’ party, 4.) taxing the rich.
Tune in next Tuesday and hear why we believe NALC should send fighting delegates to the AFL-CIO.
Margo sits down with city carriers at the Labor Notes Conference and talk about hot topics; Taylorism, 4 10s, bad bosses, etc.
If you were at Labor Notes, let us know. We’re going to do an episode based on the Labor Notes Conference.
This is an open mic night for all City Carriers.

We will ask you: "What would you like to see changed within the NALC and the Post Office?"
We will turn this into podcast episodes and release them onto our Spotify / Apple Podcasts platforms. Our National NALC leadership can hear directly from the rank and file members on our concerns and questions.
It’ll be posted Monday on Spotify / Apple Podcasts.
Solidarity with the Trans to Queers and everyone else in between fighting to be liberated.
Human rights are labor rights.
