Nation avoids mail strike with tentative three year pact
The agreement spells a 19.5 percent raise for about 500,000 postal workers over three years and preserves job security and cost of living protections. It keeps no layoff clause and sets staged raises of 2 3 5 percent, aligning with Carter anti inflation aims. Picketing at a Jersey City center and nationwide operations show mixed reactions as talks near completion.

He urged inflation control, defended human rights diplomacy, and avoided comments on Dr. Bourne’s resignation as lawmakers face a busy session before the November elections. Violations and specifics are noted alongside ongoing strategic arms talks and domestic policy plans.
