Mail Rate and Pay Hike Proposed by Postmaster General
Postmaster General Summerfield asked Congress to raise letter rates from 3 to 4 cents and boost domestic air mail and second and third class rates to yield over 932 million dollars annually. A 5 percent pay raise for about 500,000 postal workers is proposed, with salary schedule changes to correct perceived injustices. The plan, submitted as bills, aims to offset a large operating loss despite efficiencies, noting the 4 cent letter revenue would help cut the deficit.
