A leadership change looks likely in the National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) this fall. Members are mad about low pay and forced overtime, dangerous heat and robberies, the rejected contract imposed last year, the backlog of tens of thousands of grievances, and the president’s secretive approach to bargaining.

There’s not just one group pushing for change but a whole ecosystem of reform groups, slates, and podcasters among the five-thousand-plus delegates coming to Los Angeles for the union convention August 3–7. They’ll rub elbows and hopefully build unity at a “Reformers Rum Party” on Sunday night, the eve of the convention.

Days before the August 5 nominations, it looks like a three-way race for president. The 200,000 members will get the chance to vote this fall — by mail ballot, of course — for ten officers, three trustees, and fifteen regional business agents.
