Postmasters Upset by Release of Pay Hikes
The Postal Service announces salaries for top officials while withholding press notes for others, drawing postmasters’ ire. Spokesman D Jamison Cain says publicizing local postmasters’ pay highlights the agency’s economic role, while critics warn it could fuel post office closures. The top 18 executives got raises. Bailor now earns 66000, and future hikes will be public.
