Yeah, so we've been trying to get letter carriers to vote no on it. So we've been doing the vote no campaign so we can vote this shit down and get it in front of a judge. Because once it goes into arbitration, there's a lot of fear-mongering things. Oh, we could lose this. Oh, we could lose that. Oh, we could lose this. But like, Mia, you said it yourself. These are all concessions.

Yeah. So the thing is, the Postal Reform Act says that we are supposed to get paid comparatively to a comparable company in the private sector. So an arbiter is going to look at that and try and look at UPS.

UPS or Amazon and the post office is really trying to push it towards Amazon, which is why I try to talk to every letter carrier I know to support and get some cross craft solidarity with Amazon because without going on too much of a rabbit trail, the whole, you know, a rising tide lifts all ships. Yeah.

Ours tops out with this tentative agreement at ninety three thousand a year. And it still takes us 13 years to get to top step. Screw. Christ, that's not comparable, right? Yeah. Yeah. No, not at all. So I'm not afraid of arbitration. I'm hoping we get this in front of an arbiter because unless that arbiter is completely crooked, I can't see him saying, well, you guys deserve 1.3%.
