Bücher von Philip F. Rubio

For eight days in March 1970, over 200,000 postal workers staged an illegal ""wildcat"" strike - the largest in United States history - for better wages and working conditions. Using archives, periodicals, and oral histories, Philip Rubio shows how this strike transformed the post office and postal unions.

Brings to life the important but neglected story of African American postal workers and the critical role they played in the US labour and black freedom movements. Historian Philip Rubio, a former postal worker, integrates civil rights, labour, and left movement histories that too often are written as if they happened separately.
