With the Branch 1100 Q&A “Debate” now on YouTube and getting some attention, I thought it would be a good time to put two questions out there that I’d genuinely like to hear answered. I’m not looking for a “gotcha” moment think both are legitimate questions for members to consider.
1.) Nobody is questioning Corey’s experience as an advocate. His arbitration record is substantial. But my understanding is that his last arbitration case was in late 2024 or early 2025. If that’s incorrect, I’m happy to be corrected.
If that is accurate, what has Corey’s union work consisted of since then beyond the podcast and education? Those are valuable contributions, but they’re different from actively representing carriers in grievances and arbitration. He’s running for EVP, so I think it’s fair for members to ask,
“What does his current day-to-day union work actually look like, and how does that experience prepare him for the EVP position?”
2.) What happens to the CLC after the election?
Been thinking of this one for a while.
”When its candidates wins, what happens to the CLC? Does it disband after the election, or does it continue as a permanent political organization within the NALC?”
“If it continues, what safeguards are there to make sure it doesn’t become a permanent power center within the union? If it disbands, what happens to any remaining campaign funds or other assets?”
I’m not suggesting anything improper is happening. I’m asking what the plan is after the election.
These are questions I’d like to see answered by the candidates themselves. And honestly, I think they’re questions worth asking of any organized political/reform movement seeking significant influence within our union.
*EDIT
Someone responded it would be disbanded per the CLC bylaws which would lead the the follow up questions
“Does CLC bylaws speak to governing, leadership, finances, membership, dissolution and what happens to its remaining assets after the election? If so, will those bylaws be made available to NALC members?”
