House Action Due On Postal Pay Bill
The postal pay bill would raise pay for about 500000 postal workers by roughly 8.6 to 8.8 percent, with the White House opposing more than 7.6 percent. Postmaster General Summerfield warned of a veto, arguing the hike would discriminate and harm morale. The measure costs about 17% million dollars yearly and follows a Senate 10 percent and House 8.2 percent compromise.
