Postal Board Seeks Rate Hikes to Back USPS Finances
Federal sources say the US Postal Service plans 9.3 to 11.2 percent rate increases to fund operations. The five member Board of Governors will ask the Rate Commission to approve boosts within 90 days if not acted on. The first class stamp could rise to 6 cents with other classes up by 3.5 percent, aiming to generate 1.6 billion in revenue to offset a 2.3 billion shortfall. Governors, appointed by President Nixon, will be sworn in next week.

New York Firemen End Slowdown and Resume Talks
New York City firemen voted to end a weeklong slowdown and resumed contract negotiations with the city. The Uniformed Firefighters Association led the move amid demands for a 45 percent wage hike over three years. Firefighters earn about 10,500 dollars top pay, matching police, while offers to all three unions include a 1,000 dollar raise over three years plus 900 dollars over the same period for sanitation workers. The dispute follows a New York Supreme Court injunction halting the slowdown and a bid to hold the city to bargaining in good faith.
