Petition for Fair Wages: A Call for Support of the Burch-Mead Bill1946-03-05unknownhttp://rightsstatements.org/vocab/NKC/1.0/enghttp://congressarchives.org/record/CAC_CC_047_1_6_14_0019A postal clerk named Samuel Bright is writing to Congressman George B. Schwabe to express concerns about the low wages of postal employees. He explains that despite a recent raise, deductions for retirement and taxes have offset any increase in take-home pay. Bright requests support for the Burch-Mead Bill, which would provide a $500 increase for postal employees to help meet the rising cost of living. He asks for Congressman Schwabe's consideration and a reply outlining his opinion on the matter.
