📖 Narrative

"The Act had four discrete provisions: "no person in the classified service of the United States shall be removed therefrom except for such cause as will promote the efficiency of said service"; a requirement that a fired civil servant be furnished with written charges and an opportunity for responding to them; protection against removal or retaliation for postal employees who belonged to societies, associations, or unions—so long as the organization imposed no "duty to strike"; finally, the Act affirmed civil servants' right to petition Congress "either individually or collective" and to "furnish information to either House of Congress, or to a committee or Member thereof.""
