Decatur Post Office Faces Pay Hike If Congress Approves
Decatur postal workers could see an average $750 raise over two years if a postal bill favored by the House Post Office Committee passes. The plan starts with a 6 percent immediate raise and an additional 5 percent next year, plus a 4.5 percent raise for other federal workers and rate increases. Postmaster J. E. Self notes President Johnson may veto bills exceeding 4.5 percent. The measure also reorganizes postal ratings from 20 to 21 levels, moving most workers up one step, affecting about 85 full time employees with current averages around $6,760 annually. Post rates would rise and mail volume is not expected to decline.
