Today in Labor History

July 7, 1882
Striking New York longshoremen meet to discuss ways to keep new immigrants from scabbing. They were successful, at least for a time. On July 14, 500 newly arrived Jews marched straight from their ship to the union hall. On July 15, 250 Italian immigrants stopped scabbing on the railroad and joined the union.

Targeted Postal Workers Are a Bellwether for All Unions
Posted On: Mar 01, 2025
Mar. 1, 2025 | VIEWPOINT | The Trump administration has set its sights on the U.S. Postal Service and its 600,000 workers, 91% of whom are union members. The USPS is the nation’s largest unionized employer. Postal workers like me are raising the alarm. If any agency should be immune to political meddling, it’s the USPS. The Postal Service’s role is outlined in the U.S. Constitution. The 1970 Postal Reform Act establishes postal workers’ right to collective bargaining and to filing with the NLRB. If the Trump administration thinks it can interfere in this unionized workplace, no worker is safe… The two largest postal unions, the American Postal Workers Union (APWU) and the National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC), are operating under expired collective bargaining agreements. The current agreements are extended by mutual agreement with the current USPS leadership. But the Trump administration might assert that a reformulated USPS allows it to void the existing contracts, cut wages, and fire employees. Labor Notes
