Abstract

The major objective of this paper is to trace the sequence of events that brought about the enactment of The Postal Reorganization Act of 1970, and to discuss subsequent changes in collective bargaining practices as a result of the Act's impact on postal labor-management relations. The paper covers: 1) The history of the Postal Service prior to 1970; 2) A chronological survey of the 1970 Postal Strike; 3) The special provisions made in the Postal Reorganization Act for labor-management relations in the Postal Service; 4) Events subsequent to the Act's enactment and predictions for the future of collective bargaining in the U.S. Postal Service.
