Postmaster General pushes pay reform and ICC dispute
Postmaster General Donaldson moves to require railroads to provide detailed evidence for railway mail pay, seeks court review powers over ICC decisions, and proposes revisions to the Railway Mail Pay Act of 1936 amid a standoff with the ICC over interim pay increases. The fight centers on a 23 to 39 percent pay rise and the authority to grant interim increases before hearings conclude.
