Postal Service to Raise First Class Stamp Price
The Postal Service plans a rise from 22 to 25 cents for first class stamps about a year ahead, a 13.6 percent increase, with across the board class rate hikes near 16 percent. Chairman John N Griesemer calls the move modest, noting stamps haven’t risen since Feb 1985. The service points to gains but omits that second class rates rose three times this year, while facing about $2 billion in added costs from federal retirement shifts.
