Nixon Deploys Troops to Break New York Postal Strike
President Nixon announced a supplemental federal troop deployment to New York City to restore mail service amid a cross country wave of wildcat strikes. He said troops would move only essential mail and would withdraw as workers return, with further action possible in other cities if needed. He urged strikers to return to work as negotiations on pay raises were planned once an operable postal system was restored.
