P reface

The Bureau of Labor Statistics conducts annual surveys of wage rates and scheduled hours of work for specified crafts or jobs as provided in labor-management agreements in f o u r industries: Building construction,printing, local transit, and local trucking. The studies present the wage rates in effect as of July 1 of each year, as reported to the Bureau by the appropriate local labor organizations in each of the cities included in the survey.

Information on the union scales and hours prevailing in each city is available in September of each year upon request to the Bureau's regional offices which are listed on the inside back cover. A release summarizing the rates for the building trades on* a nationwide basis was issued in January 1963. This analysis provides additional data and indexes of the trend of wages and hours for the period 1907—62.

This bulletin was prepared by Thomas C. Mobley, under the supervision of John F. Laciskey, in the Bureau's Division of National Wage and Salary Income, under the general direction of H. M. Douty, Assistant Commissioner for Wages and Industrial Relations.

Union W ages and Hours: Building Trades, July 1, 1962

Summary

Wage sca les o f u n i o n building-trades w orkers in c ities o f 100,000 or m ore population rose an average o f 14 cents an hour, or 3 .7 percent, during the year ending July 1, 1962, accord ing to the Bureau's 56th annual survey o f union sca les in the building trades. Two o f every three trades surveyed showed an advance o f 12 to 18 cents in their av erage sca le .

Negotiated sca le changes in la b or-m a n agement contract provisions which becam e effective between July 1, 1961, and July 1, 1962, in creased hourly sca les fo r nine-tenths o f the w orkers covered by the survey. A dvances typ ically varied from 10 to 25 cents an hour; such in creases affected tw o-th irds o f the building tra d esm en .1 Hourly sca les rose 10 to 15 cents fo r a third o f the w orkers, 15 to 20 cents for a fifth, and 20 to 25 cents fo r a seventh. Scales advanced at least 30 cents an hour for 1 o f every 12 w orkers as did those o f le ss than 10 cents.

Union sca les on July 1, 1962, averaged $ 3 . 95 an hour for a ll bu ilding-trades w orkers com bined, $ 4 .1 5 fo r journeym en, and $ 3 .1 5 for helpers and la b orers . Negotiated sca les varied from $ 3 .8 0 to $ 4 .3 0 an hour fo r half o f the journeym en and from $3 to $ 3 .5 0 fo r a s im ilar proportion o f the helpers and la b orers .

Straight-tim e weekly hours averaged 39.3 on July 1, 1962, unchanged from the previous 2 years, fo r a ll bu ilding-trades w orkers co m bined. W eekly schedules o f 40 hours p re vailed fo r 7 o f every 8 building tradesm en.

Health and insurance program s financed wholly or in part by em ployers were sp ec ified in labor-m anagem ent agreem ents a ffecting three-fourths o f the w ork ers. P ension plans, s im ilarly financed, w ere provided in agreem ents covering slightly m ore than half o f the building craftsm en .

1 For ease o f reading in this and subsequent discussions of tabulations, the limits of the class intervals are designated as 15 to 20 cents, 4 to 5 percent, e tc ., instead o f using the more precise terminology, "15 and under 20 cents, 4 and under 5 percent, " etc.

Scope and Method o f Study

Union sca les a r e those agreed upon through co lle ctive bargaining between trade unions and em ployers, and defined as (1) the basic (minimum) wage sca les (excluding h o liday, vacation, or other benefit payments regu larly made or cred ited to the w orker each pay period), a n d (2) the maxim um schedules o f hours at straight-tim e rates. Rates in excess o f the negotiated m inimum, which m ay be paid for specia l qualifications or other reasons, are not included.

The inform ation presented in this bulletin was based on union sca les in effect on July 1, 1962, a n d covered approxim ately 635, 000 journeym en and 165, 000 helpers and laborers in 53 cities with populations o f 100,000 or m ore . Data w ere obtained p rim arily from loca l union o ffic ia ls by m ail questionnaire; in som e instances, Bureau econom ists v isited lo ca l union o ffic ia ls to obtain the desired inform ation.

The current survey was. designed to r e flect union wage sca les in the building con struction industry in a ll c ities o f 100, 000 or m ore population. A ll c ities of a half m illion or m ore population were included, as w ere m ost cit ies in the 250,000—500,000 group. The c i t i e s in the 100,000—250,000 group selected fo r study w ere distributed w idely throughout the United States. Data fo r som e cit ies were weighted to com pensate fo r c ities not surveyed. To provide appropriate rep resentation in the com bination o f data, each geographic region was con sidered separately when city weights w ere assigned.

A verage hourly sca les , designed to show current leve ls , w ere based on all sca les r e ported in e ffect on July 1, 1962. Individual sca les w ere weighted by the number o f union m em bers at each rate. These averages are not designed for p rec ise y e a r -to -y e a r co m parisons because o f fluctuations in m em bership and in job c lass ifica tion s studied. A v erage cen ts-p er-h ou r and percent changes from July 1, 1961, to July 1, 1962, however, were based on com parable quotations for the various occupational c lass ifica tion s in both periods, weighted by the m em bership reported in th e current (1962) survey. The index series , designed fo r trend purposes, was s im ilarly constructed.

Scale In creases, 1961—62Trend of Union Scales, 1907—62The Bureau's series o f annual studies o f

union wage sca les in the building trades began with data fo r 1907. In the in itial survey, inform ation was obtained for 20 trades in 39 c it ie s . The current survey presents data for 33 trades in 53 c it ies .

During these 56 years, wage sca les for union building-trades w orkers advanced in each of the years except 1922, 1932, and1933. (See ch art.) The Bureau's index o f union wage rates on a 1957—59 base shows that the leve l o f rates fo r all building trades com bined rose from 11.2 on May 15, 1907, to 117.5 on July 1, 1962.2 (See table 1.) This advance has been at an annual rate o f 4. 4 percent.

The rate of increase, how ever, has varied m arkedly during the 56-yea r span. Advances w ere m oderate p rior to W orld War I but rose sharply during and im m ediately after the war. A re cord gain o f 35 percent in 1920 ra ised the level o f union sca les to m ore than double that of 1907. A fter a 6 -percent decline in 1922, w a g e rates continued their upward m ovem ent through 1931, when a leve l 39 p ercent above 1920 was reached. A downward m ovem ent occasion ed by a sharp decline in 1932 and a slight setback in the follow ing year was reversed in 1934 but not fu lly offset until 1938. In 1941, the level o f rates was only 8 percent above 1931. Rates in creased m oderately (10 percent) in the W orld War II years of 1941—45. Advances during this interval w ere m oderated by the governm ent's wage stabilization program . Gains exceeded 10 percent in each o f the firs t 3 post-w ar years. Except fo r the period o f the Korean outbreak (1950—53), the advance ranged from 3l /2 to 5 percent in each of the subsequent years . T h e su ccess ive in creases in the years since 1953, while aggregating a r ise of 45 percent, have been at the annual rate o f 4 .2 percent, slightly below the rate o f4. 4 percent for the 56-year span covered by the index se r ie s . The percent change in each year is shown in an accom panying chart.

The index for journeym en rose from 11. 8 in 1907 to 117. 1 in 1962, and for helpers and laborers from 8. 3 to 120. 1. The annual rate o f in crease in union sca les over the 56-year period was 4. 3 percent for journeym en and5. 0 for helpers and la b orers .

2 Effective with this bulletin, the Bureau is currently using 1957—59 as 100 in the computation of the index. When computed on the 1947-49=100 base as shown in Union Wages and Hours: Building Trades. July 1, 1961 (BLS Bulletin 1316, 1962), the index for July 1, 1962, is 191.2.

Rate changes in the building industry r e sult p rim arily from labor-m anagem ent negotiations. Many of the union contracts in e ffect on July 1, 1961, were negotiated for2 years— a few w ere fo r a longer period . Contracts o f m ore than a y ea r 's duration often contain provisions f o r period ic in c re a se s . Although individual contracts p ro vided fo r in creases at various dates, only those sca le changes that actually becam e e ffective between July 1, 1961, and July 1,1962, w ere included in the current study. Some o f these sca le rev isions w ere provided for in contracts which becam e effective p rior to July 1, 1961. A number o f agreem ents negotiated during the year contained p ro visions for rate in creases after July 1, 1962.Such d eferred advances w ere excluded from the survey. Thus, the sca le changes p re sented herein do not re fle ct the total wage scale changes negotiated in individual con tracts during the 12 months covered by the survey.

Between July 1, 1961, and July 1, 1962, union wage sca les fo r building-trades w orkers in c ities o f 100,000 or m ore population in creased an average of 14 cents an hour, 1 cent le ss than in the previous 12-m onth period . Journeym en sca les m oved up 15 cents and those for helpers and la b orers , 11 cents. Advances during the year ra ised the leve l of union sca les fo r all trades com bined 3 .7 p e r cent. R eflected in this advance, the sm allest since 1955, w ere gains of 3 .8 percent fo r journeym en and 3. 6 percent fo r helpers and laborers (table 3).

Among individual trades, cen ts-p er-h ou r advances showed a slightly w ider variation for journeym en cra fts than for helper and laborer c la ss ifica tion s . In the journeym en cra fts , the in crease ranged from 9 cents an hour for tile layers to 21 cents for e le c t r icians. Scales fo r rodm en and stru ctu ra l-iron w orkers in creased 18 cents an hour, on the average, and those for asbestos w orkers, 17 cents. Of the rem aining 19 journeym en trades, 10 reg istered advances o f at least 14 cents, while only 2 showed a r ise of le ss than 12 cents. F or the nine helper and la borer cla ss ifica tion s , the in crease ranged from 8 cents an hour fo r com position ro o fe r s ' helpers to 18 cents fo r terra zzo w ork ers ' helpers. Three other class ifica tion s (b r ick la y ers ' tenders, tile la y ers ' helpers, and p lum bers' laborers) a lso showed advances of 14 cents or m ore . Hourly sca les fo r building la b orers , num erically the m ost im portant group, rose an average of 10 cents (table 3).

In term s of percent, in creases fo r the 24 journeym en trades varied from 2 .2 fo r

4tile layers to 5. 2 fo r e lectr ic ia n s . Gains o f 3 to 3 .5 percent w ere recorded by eight trades, o f 3 .5 to 4 percent by six trades, and o f 4 to 4. 5 percent by four others. F or helpers and la b orers , the rate o f advance ranged from 3. 1 percent fo r elevator con stru ctors ’ helpers to 5 .3 percent fo r terra zzo w ork ers ' h elpers. The in crease was 4 .8 percent f o r b r ick la y e rs ’ tenders and tile la y e rs ' helpers, and 3 .2 percent fo r building la b orers , com position ro o fe r s ' helpers, and p la sterers ' la b orers .

Pay sca les w ere adjusted upward during the year ending July 1, 1962, fo r nine-tenths o f the journeym en and three-fourths o f the helpers and la b orers . F or a few w orkers in two journeym en trades and in one la b orer c lass ifica tion , there w ere downward revisions o f sca les . Such d ecreases affected 0. 1 p e r cent o f organized building-trades w ork ers. Rates rose fo r at least 4 o f every 5 w orkers in 26 o f the 33 trades surveyed. Scale in crea ses varied from 10 to 15 cents an hour fo r three-tenths o f the journeym en, from 15 to 20 cents fo r slightly m ore than a fifth, and from 20 to 25 cents for a sixth. R aises o f 30 cents or m ore w ere applicable to 1 o f every 12 journeym en as w ere those o f le ss than 10 cents. Am ong helpers and la b orers , hourly sca les ro se 10 to 15 cents fo r th ree- eighths and 15 to 20 cents for an eighth. A dvances o f le ss than 10 cents a ffected a tenth o f the helpers and la b orers while advances o f at least 30 cents affected another tenth (table 5). The m o s t frequently reportedhourly sca le in crea ses w ere those o f 10 and 15 cents; those o f 10 cents applied to about a fifth of the journeym en and three-tenths of the helpers and la b orers and those o f 15 cents to a fifth and an eighth, respective ly .

Advances in hourly sca les between July 1, 1961, and July 1, 1962, represented gainso f 3 to 4 percent fo r a fourth of the jou rn eym en and a slightly sm aller proportion o f helpers and la b orers , and o f 4 to 6 percent fo r three-eighths and a fourth, respective ly . Gains o f 6 percent or m ore w ere reg istered by a la rger proportion o f helpers and la b orers than of journeym en— alm ost a fourth com pared with a sixth; con versely , those o f le ss than 3 percent affected an eighth o f the journeym en and a sixteenth o f the helpers and la b orers (table 4).

Hourly Wage Scales

Journeym en, as a group, on July 1, 1962, had wage sca les averaging $4 . 15 an hour. Among the 24 individual journeym en trades, average hourly sca les varied from $ 3 .7 7 fo r g laziers and paperhangers to $4. 46 fo r b r ick la y ers . Of the rem aining trades, 10 averaged

in excess of $ 4 .2 0 an hour, 6 had averages of $ 4 . 10 to $ 4 ,2 0 , and only 3 averaged le ss than $4 an hour.

Negotiated sca les fo r the 24 journeym en trades showed a wide variation, ranging from $ 2 .45 fo r cem ent fin ishers in Charlotte to $ 5 .4 6 fo r som e stonem asons in New York City. Rates o f $ 5 .2 5 or m ore an hour w ere a lso in e ffect for asbestos w orkers, b o ile r m akers, b rick la yers , m achinists, structural- iron w orkers, and som e p lasterers in New York C ity and for rodm en and stru ctu ra l-iron w orkers in Newark. Hourly sca les varied from $ 3 . 80 to $ 4 . 30 for half o f the jou rn ey men, from $4.30 to $4.50 fo r a tenth, and w ere $ 4 .5 0 or m ore fo r a fifth (table 7). Rates o f $ 4 .3 0 or m ore w ere stipulated in la b or- management agreem ents fo r m ore than half o f the boilerm ak ers, brick layers , e le c t r icians, m achin ists, p lasterers , and plum bers; at least a third o f the asbestos w orkers, e le vator con stru ctors , lathers, m arble setters, p ipefitters, sheet-m etal w orkers, structural- iron w orkers, and tile layers; and fo r at least a tenth o f the w orkers in each o f the other trades except painters. Hourly sca les o f le ss than $ 3 . 20 w ere in e ffect fo r 1 p e r cent of the journeym en as a group, and in only four trades did the proportion exceed 4 percent.

The average hourly sca le fo r a ll helpers and laborers com bined was $ 3 .1 5 , and by trade c lass ifica tion , varied from $ 2 .5 6 for com position r o o fe r s ' helpers to $3.50 for te r razzo w ork ers ' h elpers. Building la b orers , the la rgest group num erically, had an average sca le of $ 3 .0 5 an h o u r (table 7).

Union wage sca les fo r helpers and la b orers a lso varied widely, ranging from $1.55 an hour fo r building laborers in Charlotte to $ 4 .7 5 fo r som e p la sterers ' laborers in New York City. Contractual sca les of $3 to $ 3 . 50 prevailed fo r half o f the helpers and la b orers , o f $ 3. 50 or m ore fo r a sixth, and o f $ 2. 50 to $3 fo r a fifth. The effective rate was le ss than $ 2. 50 an hour for a tenth of the helpers and la b orers ; how ever, only three c la s s if i cations reported m ore than 10 percent o f the w orkers at such rates.

City A verages

In the building industry, labor-m an agement negotiations are generally conducted on a loca lity basis . Among the factors affecting the pay sca les fo r building-trades w orkers are variations in type and amount of lo ca l building activity, the demand for construction w orkers, the extent o f unionization, and the general level o f wages in individual lo ca lit ie s . These factors are re flected in the re latively


5wide variations in negotiated sca les fo r in dividual crafts within a loca lity as w ell as in the d ifference in rates among c it ie s . F or exam ple, hourly sca les for cem ent fin ishers ranged from $ 2. 45 in Richm ond to $ 5 .1 5 in New York City. The range o f rates among the 24 journeym en trades in 6 typical cities are shown in the follow ing tabulation:

The d ifference between the highest and low est scale fo r helpers and la b orers in each o f the above c it ies was sm aller than that fo r journeym en, ranging from 58 cents in Boston to $ 1 in New York City.

The c i t y averages presented in table 8 are designed to show current leve ls o f rates. They do not m easure d ifferen ces in union sca les of the various cra fts among areas. As previously indicated, sca les fo r individual trades d iffer from one city to another. The c ity averages are influenced not only by d ifferen ces in rates among c it ies , but a lso by d ifferences in the proportion o f organized w orkers in the various cra fts . F or exam ple, a particular cra ft o r cla ss ifica tion m ay not be organized in som e areas or m ay be organized le ss intensively in som e areas than in others. In addition, certain types of w ork are found in som e areas but not in others, or they are found to a greater extent in som e areas than in others. These d iffe r ences are re flected in the weighting o f ind ividual rates by the number o f union m em bers at the rate. T herefore , even though rates for a ll individual cra fts in two areas are identical, the average fo r a ll cra fts com bined in each of the areas m ay d iffer.

A verage hourly sca les , on a city basis, showed a wide variation among the 53 cities surveyed for both journeym en and helpers and la b orers . H ourly sca les fo r jou rn eym en averaged highest ($ 4 .9 1 ) in New York

City and low est ($ 3 . 28) in Charlotte (table 8). Scales averaged from $ 3 . 75 to $4 an hour, in 20 other cit ies ; $4 to $ 4 .2 5 in 15 c ities ; $ 3 .5 0 to $ 3 .7 5 in 9 cit ies ; and $ 4 .2 5 to $ 4 .5 0 in 6 c it ies .

Among helpers a n d la b orers , hourly sca les averaged from $ 1 .5 6 in Charlotte to $ 4 .2 0 in New York City. They averaged $ 3 .2 5 or m ore an hour in nine other c ities and le ss than $ 2 in four others. A verages varied from $ 2 .5 0 to $ 2 .7 5 in 7 c ities ; $ 2 .7 5 to $3 in 10 c it ies ; $3 to $ 3 .2 5 in 14 c ities ; and $ 2 to $2. 25 in 6 c ities (table 8).

Standard W orkweek

Changes in the negotiated straight-tim e workweek between July 1, 1961, and July 1, 1962, affected very few building-trades w orke rs . Such rev ision s had no effect on the average workweek of 39.3 hours fo r a ll building- trades w orkers com bined— 39.3 h o u r s for journeym en and 39. 5 hours fo r helpers and laborers (table 11).

On July 1, 1962, the m o s t com m onstraight-tim e workweek consisted o f 40 hours and was in e ffect fo r 7 o f every 8 building- trades w orkers. Straight-tim e workweeks of 35 hours w ere stipulated in labor-m an agement agreem ents fo r a tenth o f the building tradesm en. Such schedules w ere applicable to three-tenths o f the b r ick la y ers ' tenders, a fourth o f the painters, a fifth o f the b r ick layers and terra zzo w ork ers ' helpers, and a sixth of the lathers and m osa ic and terrazzo w orkers. Standard workweeks o f 30 hours prevailed fo r a fifth o f the p lasterers and an eighth o f their h elpers.

Health, Insurance, and Pension Plans

Health, insurance, a n d pension plans provided in labor-m anagem ent agreem ents fo r w orkers in the building trades have in creased steadily in recent yea rs . The w idespread developm ent o f such plans in the industry has perhaps been le ss rapid than in industries where problem s of seasonal operations and casual employm ent a r e not as extensive. A lso , m ost construction -trades unions have operated their own program s providing their m em bers with one or m ore types of benefits,


6

such as those covering death, o ld -age , s ick ness, or d isability. The developm ent o f negotiated insurance and pension program s undoubtedly has been affected by these fa ctors . On July 1, 1962, three-fourths of the building- trades w orkers w ere covered by contracts providing fo r health or insurance plans and slightly m ore than half w ere covered by pension plan p ro v is io n s .3

V irtually a ll o f the building-trades w orkers who w ere provided health and insurance protection w ere covered by plans entirely financed by em ployer contributions. Such program s w ere specified in labor-m anagem ent contracts applicable to a m ajority of the w orkers in p ractica lly a ll o f the trades. Pension plan provisions financed entirely by the em ployers affected alm ost a ll construction tradesm en covered by such plans. P rov isions for these plans w ere typically provided for boilerm akers and e lectr ic ia n s . Among other trades, in which there were substantial p ro portions o f w orkers covered , w ere: A sbestos w orkers, b rick la yers , carpenters, lathers, painters, p ipefitters, p lasterers , plum bers,

rodm en, sheet-m etal w orkers, structural- iron w orkers, b rick la y ers ' tenders, and p laste re rs ' la b orers .

Union Scales, by City and Trade

Table 12 presents the union sca les of wages and hours in effect on July 1, 1961,and July 1, 1962, together with the amountof em ployer contributions to health, in su rance, pension, and vacation plans on July 1, 1962, fo r the individual trades in each o f the 53 c ities surveyed.

3 The prevalence of negotiated health, insurance, and pension programs for construction workers was first studied in July 1954. Information on these plans was restricted to those financed entirely or in part by the employer. Plans financed by workers through union dues or assessments were excluded from the study. No attempt was made to secure information on the kind and extent of benefits provided or on the cost o f plans providing such benefits. In the current study, however, information was obtained on the amount of employer contributions, in terms of cents per hour or percent of rate. Such information is presented in table 12. Although some employer payments are calculated on the basis o f total hours or gross payroll, these variations in the method o f computation are not indicated in the tabulation.
