"Katharine Meyer "Kay" Graham (June 16, 1917 – July 17, 2001) was an American publisher. She led her family's newspaper, The Washington Post, for more than two decades, overseeing its most famous period: the Watergate coverage that eventually led to the resignation of President Richard Nixon. Her memoir, Personal History, won the Pulitzer Prize in 1998." Wiki - The pressmen were members of International Printing and Graphic Communications Union Local 6. Labor relations between the Post and its unions had been deteriorating for several years . The Post management began aggressively preparing for a confrontation with the pressmen's union. From 1973-75, the Post management openly trained dozens of non-union employees on how to running printing presses and other production jobs.
