Every surrounding Police Dept had officers there to maintain the peace .After things settled down a few weeks later the cops were buying the pizzas for the Teamsters .Everytime there is talk of a strike , I schedule my vacations for those weeks .When I got the call to return after the '97 strike , I informed the sup ( who knew me ) that I still had a week and a half of vaca left .One side note , the first time the USPS made a profit was during the '76 strike . And their people were doing mandatory 70 hrs weeks ( 10 shifts @ day ) .</blockquote>
