註釋The New York City Transit Strike of 1966 occurred during the formative period of labor relations between government and municipal employees, and served as an impetus to convince legislators in many jurisdictions that legislation was needed to regulate public sector bargaining.

Marmo analyzes the role of the media in public sector bargaining, and demonstrates how heavy reliance and manipulation of the media by interested parties affected the outcome of political decision making during one of the most significant strikes ever to take place in the history of public sector negotiations in the United States. The book also tells the dramatic story of a confrontation between urbane, Yale-educated John Lindsay and the crusty, acid-tongued union antagonist Michael Quill.
