Labor and Politics in the U.S. Postal Service grew out of concern
for the way a large public organization does its work. It reflects
my effort to link experience working as a letter carrier and mail
collector with subsequent years of study in the field of
organizational sociology. The final product is an academic book
that certainly reveals great distance from experience in the postal
workplace, but I must confess that the book still presents more a
view from the bottom than a view from the top of the post office. I
hope this view proves beneficial. It turns out that studying the
post office has become an ongoing project that has outlived several
jobs, relationships, and hairlines. What originated as a historical
study of the 1970 reorganization became an analysis of the causes
and consequences of an ongoing process of re structuring and
technological change in the post office. Fortunately for me,
similar restructurings have recently occurred in organizations and
industries across the nation and around the world. The competitive
pressures, new technologies, and political and class-based
conflicts dis cussed in this book are perhaps more relevant today
than they were in the late 1970s when I began research on the post
office."
