Trusteeship Requirements
This page provides general information about the trusteeship requirements established by the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act of 1959, as amended (LMRDA), and the regulations implementing the standards of conduct provisions of the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978 (CSRA).
The LMRDA applies to labor organizations which represent private sector employees and U.S. Postal Service employees while the CSRA applies to labor organizations which represent employees in most agencies of the executive branch of the Federal Government. (Federal sector labor organizations subject to the Foreign Service Act or the Congressional Accountability Act are also subject to the trusteeship requirements.)
Trusteeships are normally established by parent body unions to assist subordinate unions having operational or financial problems or to restore democratic procedures. During hearings held prior to the enactment of the LMRDA, however, Congress became aware that the power to impose a trusteeship was sometimes used to “milk” local treasuries and perpetuate power by controlling votes undemocratically. The LMRDA therefore contains provisions for civil and criminal enforcement to correct abuses, but it neither prohibits nor discourages the reasonable and legitimate use of trusteeships.
This guidance was prepared by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Labor-Management Standards to assist those who are subject to the trusteeship provisions of the LMRDA or CSRA. It presents general information about the trusteeship requirements and should not be construed as an official interpretation of these laws or the regulations implementing them.
Clearly as examples NALC Branch 2502, 231, and many others qualify for a trusteeship under the LMRDA. The corruption is obvious on a national level, yet our National NALC President Brian Renfroe looks the other way.
This is why we in the rank and file who actually pay dues, must contact the https://concernedlettercarriers.com and https://caref4prez.org ,so that they will be prepared to take over NALC Branch 231 and others that refuse to represent us dues paying members under the trusteeship clause of the NALC Constitution.
You see as I have previously mention in blogs we have current NALC Branch 231 executive board members who have given statements to postal management that resulted in the firing of a NALC member in good standing. We also have several executive board members that signed this pledge.
UPDATE 1-21-2026
*******************************************************************************************************
Hello brothers and sisters although I fully believe my previously posted screenshot was 100% within the 1st Amendment and covered under the Labour Management Reporting Disclosure Act, it seems that our branch leadership disagrees. So I as soon as physically possible I removed the “offending item”.
This is the kind shit the LMRDA covers, and I strongly urge any and all members to be careful when meeting with certain NALC Branch 231 Chair Officers and Executive Board members. Before, I start work tomorrow I will be contacting both National 202-393-4695 and NBA Region 1 909-443-7450 for further guidance.
I strongly urge any rank and file to request that the NBA Region 1 or a National officer be present when meeting with any executive board member along with possibly having a lawyer or someone you trust completely there. Clearly there are many on the Executive Board violating the LMRDA for me to receive this text.
By now we all should be use to this kind of treatment, because it’s the same treatment we receive from USPS management.

That blatantly and willfully violate said pledge. Next month in February there should be Article X charges read about what one steward/formal/executive board member committed against me a dues paying member.
I really hope all the rank and file show up on March 10, 2026 so this executive board member can receive the justice that is deserved and will never be able to harm a due paying member in the future because of the punishment that is very clearly deserved.
At the end of the day, unless the dues paying members show up and vote against this POS executive board member in my Article X charges our rights will continue to be violated, until NALC National decides to invoke the Trusteeship clause of our National Constitution.

Always remember you are the supreme body of NALC Branch 231.
EDIT
My union brothers and sisters, I had forgotten to add something to this blog, and so on the morning of 1-15-2026 I put this very page back into “Edit” mode so that I could add what I had forgotten. Sadly, in violation of the LMRDA I received the following,
This executive board member is the one that is going to be facing Article X charges, and this said text is again in a violation of the pledge signed by this very executive board members. I will be adding all these details to my filings most likely, and will also include them in my future request for National to take over NALC Branch 231 via the Trusteeship clause. While the minority of our NALC Branch 231 executive board aren’t stupid ignorant about what is going on, unfortunately the majority seem to be, for those that step up and love LITEBLUE they are in the minority in NALC Branch 231. We have executive board members constantly and consistently siding with management against the rank and file
If anyone has a contractual violation at their station please contact me, so it can be completely documented locally. regionally, and nationally.
