Özet:
The 1970 Postal Strike, beyond being the largest wildcat strike in U.S. history, served as an important milestone in the decline of the American labor movement in the second half of the twentieth century. The events of the strike, the rank-and-file's reasons behind the demonstration, and their leadership's response revealed the major flaws and problems that kept unions from maintaining their power after the 1960s: members' feelings of disrespect from union leaders, said leaders' unwillingness to adapt to the changing times, and a president and congress that focused less on mutual cooperation and more on "trimming the fat" of government spending. Although postal employees succeeded in gaining pay raises and numerous benefits, the lack of meaningful reform and union democratization failed to correct many of the major issues that caused the strike in the first place.
The decades following the postal strike show a series of events that confirm 1970 as the start of a national trend toward a more austere political and economic atmosphere---and a sign that American labor as a single entity could not adapt to this change. This failure to adapt allowed anti-union elements within the government to turn public opinion against organized labor and further speed its decline.
