Royal Mail raises prices amid industrial relations storm (printweek.com)

Amid ongoing disruption to delivery schedules Royal Mail has brought forward a swathe of price increases originally slated for next year. The business is locked in a bitter industrial relations dispute with the Communication Workers Union that has resulted in strike action that began at the end of September, and is set to continue throughout October, November and December. Royal Mail had been due to put up prices from 3 January 2023. Instead, prices for advertising mail, business mail, publishing mail, partially addressed mail, poll card mailing, and response services will go up from 7 November.

New Proposed Postal Rates Could Hurt Small Publishers (mediapost.com)

Mail order and publishing executives once followed every hiccup within the U.S. Postal Service. Their businesses depended on it. Those days aren’t over for publishers, judging by an article that appeared last week in The Washington Post. Periodical rates could leap by 8% on Aug. 29, a potentially devastating hit to struggling community newspapers, forcing them to reduce staffs and distribution, critics say. Such a hike could be the tipping point for survival for those publishers, Paul Boyle, senior vice president at the News Media Alliance, told WaPo. However, the USPS contends the impact will not be that serious.

Congress Poised to Fund Libraries, Save the NEH and NEA

The budget battle is a long way from over, but so far Congress appears not to share President Trump’s desire to eliminate the Institute of Museum and Library Services, or the National Endowments for the Humanities, or the Arts. On Wednesday, the full House Appropriations Committee voted to approve FY2018 funding for libraries. By a 28-22 margin, the committee approved the Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education (LHHS) funding bill, which proposes roughly $231 million for the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS)—including $183.6 million for Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) programs, and $27 million for the Department of Education’s Innovative Approaches to Literacy (IAL) program—essentially at 2017 funding levels. A post on the ALA Washington Office’s District Dispatch e-newsletter, said the “successful and extremely important" full Appropriations Committee vote represents another "major milestone" in the ALA’s Fight for Libraries! Campaign—but acknowledged there are hurdles still to come. Click Read More below for more of the story.
