Johnson Seeks Federal Worker Pay Raise and Review
President Johnson urged Congress to approve an $853 million yearly raise for military personnel and federal workers. The plan calls for a 3 percent across the board increase for civil service postal and foreign service staff, with exemptions for top policymakers and about 600,000 blue-collar workers. Military pay would rise an average 4.8 percent for those with two years’ service and 2.7 percent for those under two years, plus benefits. A fourth-year review would compare federal pay to private industry compensation.
