Senate committee backs postal pay bill with 6 percent floor
The Senate Post Office and Civil Service Committee approved a new postal pay bill offering at least a 6 percent raise for about 500,000 workers and total cost near 162 million dollars a year. The measure, backed unanimously by the committee, falls short of the 8.6 percent vetoed bill and preserves key job reclassification powers while not meeting all of Eisenhower's upper-bracket salary aims. The Senate vote to uphold the president's veto was 54 to 39, short of the two-thirds needed to override.
