Rural free delivery carriers get $4 million pay rise
Postmaster General Hitchcock announced a $4,060,000 salary increase for about 40,000 rural free delivery carriers, boosting standard route pay from $900 to $1,000 and proportionate gains on shorter routes. He tied the move to potential parcels post approval, arguing revenue would offset the extra cost. The fiscal year outlook shows the rural service costing roughly $40 million with a $25 million deficit, but management aims for a self supporting parcels post system.
