United Auto Workers President Shawn Fain recently laid out four priorities he says should form the nucleus of a workers’ political program.

The Postal Service rolled out its Regional Transfer Hubs (RTH) initiative to cut costs by reducing long hauls with fuller trucks. Our audit found the implementation showed promise, but the agency didn’t track actual savings from the initiative, and service performance lagged behind national averages. One factor was lacking from the plan that made it so we couldn’t determine whether the impacts on cost, customer service, or trailer utilization are meeting RTH goals. Curious what it was?

🚨 Selective Enforcement & Union Rights 🚨

Selective enforcement of work rules occurs when an employer applies a policy inconsistently—punishing one employee for a violation while ignoring similar infractions by others. This practice is unjust and undermines workplace fairness.

📌 Under federal law, employers are strictly prohibited from taking sides or interfering in internal union elections. The Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act (LMRDA) requires a clear separation to prevent undue influence over union affairs.

❌ It is equally unlawful for an incumbent union administration to collude with an employer against its own members, including reform-minded employees. Such actions are violations of both the LMRDA and the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA).

The CLC demands that any unlawful and discriminatory actions by the current NALC administration and the employer cease and desist immediately.

✊ Together, we stand for fairness, accountability, and the rights of every letter carrier.

Taxes Due on In-Plan Roth Conversions Cannot be Taken From TSP Money

Don’t forget, the TSP is going to allow in-plan Roth conversions beginning in January 2026. This will allow employees to move traditional TSP monies into the Roth TSP much more easily.

Of course, when you convert traditional money to Roth money, you must pay taxes on the conversion. Though we don’t yet know a lot about the mechanics of in-plan conversions, one thing the Thrift Board has already made clear is that the taxes due cannot be taken from the TSP money – all of the conversion amount must go into the Roth TSP and the taxes need to be paid from outside sources.

This is a really big deal, as up to now current employees could not take money from their traditional TSP and move it into a Roth TSP account.
