G. Swift is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work chronicles the evolution of labor agitation within the postal service in England, detailing the struggles and discontent experienced by postal workers as they sought better working conditions and recognition of their rights. The narrative delves into significant events, key figures, and the broader implications of these movements in the context of the labor rights movement of the time. The opening of this detailed account introduces the long-standing discontent among postal workers, establishing the Post-Office as a central figure for agitation that contrasts sharply with the generally stable state of other civil service sectors. Swift presents the Post-Office as a brewing ground for dissatisfaction, encompassing themes of bureaucratic resistance, low wages, and the societal perception of postal servants. In particular, it discusses the historical context of the postal service, illustrating how tradition and increasing pressures from within and outside prompted postal workers to organize and challenge injustices against them, setting the stage for the conflicts and developments that shaped their fight for recognition and rights in the ensuing chapters.
