workers strike in 1968

Who remembers C&P telephone?  It was the phone company for Washington, DC before being renamed and merged into other communications corporations.

In honor of May Day/International Workers Day, I found the above article in the Evening Star, 19 April 1968, p. 6.  Part of a nationwide strike, 11,000 telephone workers went on strike for higher wages. According to the article, picket lines took place at C&P headquarters at 930 H Street NW.

Were you a part of the strike?
