Mail Carriers to Reoweigh Illinois Iowa Missouri Wisconsin
The third weighing district covering Illinois Iowa Missouri and Wisconsin will have postal hauls pay readjusted over four years based on average daily weight carried. The test ran April 1 to 30, with anticipated pay increases on trunk lines of about five percent due to more mail and rising newspaper weight. Railroads may refuse mail service, but once started cannot quit without department approval. The process will take weeks to finalize per-road compensation plus notes on specific lines and rates.
