Surplus may defer postal rate hike in 1983 84
The Postal Service reports a March surplus of over 436 million, prompting Postmaster General Bolger to suggest a rate increase planned for fall 1983 could be postponed to 1984 to keep rates steady for three years. Lower oil prices and higher productivity drive the gains, with cost-of-living adjustments trimmed for 600 plus employees.
