New Postal Pay Bill Offered By Senate Group
The Senate Post Office and Civil Service Committee approved a new postal pay bill granting average raises around eight percent for about 500 000 workers.

The veto of a prior 8.6 percent plan stood, with party line votes and ongoing companion measures in both chambers.
