In this programme hardline interviewer Brian Edwards turns conciliator in a long-running industrial dispute. Post Office workers had imposed a go-slow when wage negotiations broke down. Producer Des Monaghan managed to get the Postmaster General Mr McCready and Mr Reddish of the Post Office union into the studio together. In the last five minutes of the interview Edwards forced an agreement between the two men to stop union action and go back into mediation. This programme won Edwards a Feltex Award.
