Postal Workers Get Large Salary Hikes Above Pay Board Guidelines
White collar Postal Service managers and many postal workers across headquarters regional and local offices have received raises up to 20 percent since November 14, 1971, far exceeding the 4.5 percent Pay Board guideline. The Pay Board and Cost of Living Council have not acted on these increases, affecting about 80 000 managers and 50 000 unionized workers who also gained a $25 bump on November 14. The Postal Service sets salaries, and some workers are covered by collective bargaining.

Redistrict Plan Splits Oklahoma County Three Ways
Oklahoma City notes a House Senate conference on congressional redistricting to divide Oklahoma County into three districts to avoid moving veteran Rep. Tom Steed. The plan choices stirred dissent as some Oklahoma City residents would share districts with the Oklahoma Panhandle. Gov. Hall backed a $250 million road bond bill moving through the House, with a timetable to a vote by Thursday. The session also approved an accountability act for schools and proposed renaming the Pike Authority for mass transit and veteran employment bills reflecting Vietnam War returnees.
