Postal settlement yields pay hikes and job protections
The United States Postal Service and seven unions reached a landmark contract ending a long bargaining period. Workers receive an immediate 300 dollar lump sum after six months, plus five 250 dollar raises over two years, totaling about 1710 dollars with cost of living boosts. The deal also protects against layoffs during the term while the Service gains authority to implement technological changes to improve efficiency, despite concerns about future rate increases and service quality. Observers note the self-incrimination clause remains sound amid five taking the Fifth at hearings about Gregory Scarpa, underscoring ongoing civil liberty protections.
