Reply #19: We were told at the time that we would all lose our jobs.

We struck. For the most part it was the strikes in the major hubs that won it. Nixon, laughably, tried to bring in troops to sort the mail. A total flop. The unions didn't back the strike but ended up doing the negotiating and getting recognition.

The unions are petrified of a strike because the union bosses would be the ones tossed in jail if they called one. About, the only way for it to happen is like it did in '70. Wildcat in the major cities. The smaller cities/towns don't really count because if the cities go out, there will be no mail for the smaller cities to sort or deliver.
