Summary
This is not just another union interview. This is a story of survival, growth, and sacrifice. In this episode of Hot House with Richie Ray , Richie sits down with Hector Narvaez a carrier, steward, and fighter whose journey runs through Port Richmond, Saint George, and New Dorp. From his early days as a Transitional Employee during the DAS Award era, to becoming a city letter carrier, to eventually stepping up as a steward under the old NALC Branch 99and now Branch 41 Merged, Hector has seen every side of this job. He has endured hostile managers, retaliatory emergency placements, personal attacks, and the emotional burden of standing between management and the carriers. But beyond the grievances, the discipline, and the battles, this is about the man behind the satchel. His family. His roots. His struggles. His regrets. His victories. And why, despite everything, he still fights. This is a therapy session. Raw. Real. Unfiltered.
