Problem edit

The USPS didn't exist in 1970. USPO Department became USPS July 1, 1971. Article needs to be renamed. House of Scandal 06:32, 14 January 2007 (UTC) [1]Reply

Other unions edit

What about the other unions in the USPS? What was the role of the National Association of Letter Carriers, for example?

"Outcomes" section edit

No mention if the strike and following negotiations led to better working conditions, improvements in building maintenance, or changes in pay/wages.

Since these were the major reasons for the strike, any follow-up or lack thereof needs to be included/mentioned as part of the outcome. 2600:8800:50B:6700:C23F:D5FF:FEC5:89B6 (talk) 04:25, 18 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

Length of strike edit

Infobox and "conclusion" both give eight [8] days as the length of the strike. Why does the opening sentence state "two-week"?

Last I knew, 8 days is one day over ONE week and 14 days is exactly two weeks.

Somebody is playing fast and loose with SIX days ! ! !

If the discrepancy cannot be explained, how about replacing the "two-week" phrase with "eight-day"? 2600:8800:50B:6700:C23F:D5FF:FEC5:89B6 (talk) 04:43, 18 March 2017 (UTC)Reply
