Post Office pay raise and rate hike proposals outlined
General Summerfield urged Congress to raise letter rates from 3 to 4 cents and domestic air and second class mail to 6 to 7 cents to cover rising costs and expand service. He tied higher rates to a 5 percent pay raise for about 500,000 postal workers, arguing current salaries are inequitable. The plan would raise about 332 million annually, with detailed salary revisions totaling up to 170 million yearly with fringe benefits. A prior Eisenhower veto paused the measure. last year Congress approved a pay raise though not the broader rate plan.
