You are nuts ~ for postal workers the baseline is whatever they were already working, and that's already nearly 7 X the minimum wage.

That's a fur jump.

No, you don't get it.

A postal working today makes a base wage of say $14.00 over minimum wage, or about $21 per hour(a figure which is too low, but just for example purposes).

Next, a hike in the minimum wage of $1.50 takes place. That means the new base wage for the postal or government worker's next paycheck and pension accruals just rose from $21 per hour, to $22.50.

Get it now?
