This official Fleetwood First Day Cover features the 1975 10¢ U.S. stamp honoring collective bargaining, postmarked in Washington, DC on March 13, 1975, the first day of issue.
Collective bargaining emerged as a cornerstone of American labor relations in the 20th century, providing workers and employers a structured process to negotiate wages, benefits, and working conditions. The stamp's design, with its interlocking red and blue circles and the phrase “out of conflict...accord,” symbolizes the resolution of disputes through dialogue.
The cachet illustrates a negotiation scene with the prominent red-and-blue handshake graphic, reinforcing the theme of agreement. Fleetwood produced this official cover with detailed explanatory text on the importance of fair labor practices.
A strong addition for collectors of labor history, union themes, or modern U.S. commemoratives, this cover remains in excellent condition with a crisp postmark and vibrant cachet artwork.
