(08/14/08) Thanks to a cost-of-living adjustment that will be the highest in APWU-bargaining history, postal workers represented by the union will be receiving an annual raise of $1,477 at the end of the month. The increase is the result of the Consumer Price Index rise during July, the last month of the most recent six-month Cost-of-Living measuring period under the 2006 National Agreement. “This is not only the largest COLA increase under the current contract,” said APWU President William Burrus, “but the largest such raise we’ve ever achieved.”
