A history of postal agitation from fifty years ago till the present day

The book chronicles half a century of labour unrest within the postal service, tracing causes of discontent, early protests, and the gradual emergence of organized agitation among letter-carriers, sorting clerks, and telegraphists. It examines key disputes over compulsory Sunday work, boy labour, dismissals, and the struggle for the right to public meeting and association; it follows formation of unions, petitions and mass meetings, threatened strikes, internal leadership changes, governmental inquiries and awards, and evolving parliamentary responses. The narrative assesses tactics, setbacks, intermittent victories, and the long negotiation between bureaucracy and collective worker action.
