Local-Transit Operating Employees, July 1, 1968

Summary

According to the Bureau’ s most recent annual survey, union wage scales for loca l- transit o p e r a t i n g employees in c i t i e s of100,000 population or more averaged $30 44 an hour on July 1, 1968. The average was6.6 percent higher than the previous year and raised the Bureau’ s index of these scales to 156.3 (1957-59= 100). The 1967-68 advance was the largest cents-per-hour increase (21 cents) since the annual studies began in 1929. Larger percentage increases, however, were recorded in 1966—67 (6. 8 percent), 1951—52 (7.5 percent), as well as for the 3 years im mediately following World War II (table 1).

The average wage scale for operators of surface cars and buses— nine-tenths of workers covered by the survey— was $3.40 an hour, compared with $3,79 for operators of elevated and subway equipment. (See table 2.) Chicago and New York City accounted for seven-eighths of the e l e v a t e d a nd subway equipment operators, but for only one-fourth of the surface car and bus operators covered by the survey. Between July 1, 1967, andJuly 1, 1968, average wage scales for bothgroups of workers advanced 21 cents— a 6. 7 percent increase for operators of surface cars and buses and a 5. 9 percent increase for elevated and subway operators.

The current study showed that nearly all of the local-transit operating employees surveyed received upward scale adjustments during the year. (See table 4.) Wage scales rose 4 to 6 percent for almost one-half of these employees, including those in Los Angeles, New York City, Philadelphia, and smaller cities such as Denver, L i t t l e R o c k , New Haven, and Norfolk. Slightly m ore than one- tenth of the workers received increases of 3 to 4 percent, and a sim ilar proportion re ceived scale increases of 8 to 9 percent. Hourly wage scales for one-fifth of the workers advanced 9 percent or m o r e b e t w e e n July 1, 1967, and July 1, 1968.

Reflecting v a r i a t i o n s among cities, wage scales for surface car and bus operators varied widely. (See table 8.) Hourly

wage scales were between $2.50 and $3 for about one-fifth of these operators, between $3 and $3.50 for almost three-tenths, and from $3.50 to $4 for nearly half of those surveyed. Scales for e l e v a t e d and s u b w a y equipment operators, all exceeding $3.25 an hour, were m ore closely clustered. Two- fifths of these operators, in Chicago and New York City, had scales between $3.40 and $3.60 an hour, and a slightly sm aller p roportion, all in New York City, had scales ranging from $4 to nearly $4.21.

Straight-time weekly h o u r s were re p o r t e d for local-transit operating employees in 54 of the 67 cities surveyed. These weekly hours, applicable to about 95 percent of the workers, averaged 40.2 on July 1, 1968. (See table 3.) A scheduled straight- time workweek of 40 hours, which was in effect in about 4 out of 5 cities reporting i n f o r m a t i o n on weekly hours, applied to nearly 9 out of 10 operators of surface equipment and to all operators of elevated an d subway equipment.

Information on employer contributions to insurance and pension funds is shown in table 9.

Scope and Method of Study

Union scales in this bulletin are those scales agreed on through collecting bargaining between trade unions and em ployers, and are defined as (l) the basic (minimum) wage rates (excluding holiday, vacation, or other benefit payments regularly made or credited to the worker each pay period), and (2) the maximum schedules of hours at s t r a i g h t - time rates. Scales exceeding the negotiated m i n i m u m , which m a y be paid for special qualifications or other reasons, are not included.

The information presented in this bulletin was based on union scales in effect on July 1, 1968, an d c o v e r e d approximately56,000 local-transit operating employees in 67 cities that had populations of 100,000 or

m ore. Trackmen and maintenance workers were excluded from th e study. Operating employees of m u n i c i p a l l y - o w n e d transit systems were included, if unions acted as the bargaining agents. Data were obtained prim arily from local union officials by mail questionnaire; in some i n s t a n c e s , Bureau representatives visited local union officials to obtain the desired information.

The current survey was d e s i g n e d to reflect u n i o n w a g e scales of local-transit operating employees in all cities of 100, 000 population or m ore (excluding Honolulu). All cities that had 500, 000 population or more were included, as were most cities in the 250,000—500,000 group. The cities in the 100, 000—250,000 group s e l e c t e d for study were distributed widely throughout the United States. Data for some cities were weighted to compensate for cities not surveyed. To p r o v i d e appropriate representation in the combination of data, each geographic region was considered separately when city weights were assigned.

In addition to data for the 67 cities surveyed, table 9 contains information on wage and hour scales in cities which were within the scope of the survey but were not included in the study. This information, obtained from secondary sources, was not used in any of the other tables.

Average hourly scales, designed to show current levels, were based on the top scale reported in each city on July 1, 1968. Individual top scales were weighted by the number of union m em bers at that scale in the area. These averages are not designed for precise year-to-year com parisons because of fluctuations in membership and in the c la ss ifications studied. Average cents-per-hour and percent changes from July 1, 1967, to July 1, 1968, however, were based on comparable quotations for the various job classifications in both periods, weighted by the membership reported for the current (1968) survey. The index series, designed for trend purposes, was constructed sim ilarly.
