Panel rules raise postal health insurance share
An arbitration panel ruled that U S Postal Service workers in its two largest unions will pay more of their health insurance. The current 75 percent employer share drops to 71 percent by 1997, adding about $2 biweekly for family coverage and saving the Postal Service $24 million in 1994 through $95 million in 1997. The change affects about 508,000 employees.
