In 1977 I and other journalists at the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin called in The Newspaper Guild, AFL-CIO to help us organize. The company killed us! They stretched out hearings for month after tedious month, got the NLRB to shrink the potential bargaining unit even to the point of trying to make telephone operators and newsroom clerks part of management. They tried every trick they could, some worked. We were amateurs, their lawyers were anti-union professionals. It was a long, tedious hearing process, and we sat through hearings and heard newsroom managers tell lie after lie. When the vote came, it was a dead tie, which meant we lost. The AFL-CIO helped, but with the deck stacked against us, it wasn't enough. Most of the organizing committee fled Philadelphia. Now, 35 years later, some details escape me, but The Newspaper Guild should have records of our struggle.
