Signed, Sealed and Delivered: 1978 Strike Against Mandatory Overtime,
Speedups & Work Conditions

On July 21, 1978 thousands of postal workers across the country
walked off their jobs when their contract
expired, saying "No" to mandatory overtime, forced speedups and
hazardous working conditions. As a result of this wildcat strike, six
hundred thousand postal workers won a better contract. But two hundred
workers were arbitrarily fired by management to teach all postal workers
a lesson.

SIGNED, SEALED and DELIVERED... is the story of the struggle these
postal workers waged to win back their jobs. It follows their fight into
the streets, onto the floor of the American Postal Workers Union's
National Convention and among workers and communities nationwide. But it
took the tragic death of Michael McDermott, a 25 year old mailhandler
who was sucked into a conveyor belt and crushed to death, to bring their
hazardous working conditions to national attention.

SIGNED, SEALED and DELIVERED... speaks loudly and clearly to people
everywhere who are organizing for safe and humane conditions in the
workplace.

By Tami Gold, Dan Gordon, Erik Lewis 1980, 45 minutes, Color and B&W,
Video "In these days when so many expensively funded films about labor
are bittersweet recollections of ancient battles, this
made-on-a-shoestring production that grapples with the here and now,
deserves particular attention. SIGNED, SEALED and DELIVERED is among the
best socially concerned video productions I have seen." George Stoney,
Professor, NYU/Filmmaker "...a labor classic." Deirdre Boyle, AMERICAN
FILM "The strength of this work lies not in its technical or artistic
form, but in the sincerity and power with which it pleads the cause of
workers."
