Preface

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 four 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.

Information on the union scales and hours p re vailing in each city is available in October of each year upon request to the Bureau’s regional offices. A nationwide summary report of rates in the printing trades was issued in February 1962. This bulletin provides additional data and indexes of the trend of wages and hours for the period 1907—61. It was prepared in the Bureau's Division of Wages and Industrial Relations by Thomas C. Mobley under the direction of John F. Laciskey.

Union Wages and Hours in the Printing Industry, July 1, 1961

Summary

Pay sca les fo r organized printing-trades w orkers in c ities with 100, 000 or m ore in habitants advanced an average o f 10 cents, or 3 .2 percent, during the year ending July 1, 1961. The in crea se in average sca les was lO1^ cents in book and job shops and 10 cents in newspaper plants accord ing to the Bureau of Labor Statistics annual survey of union sca les in the printing trades.

Labor-m anagem ent contract rev ision s that becam e effective between July 1, I960,and July 1, 1961, resu lted in scale advances fo r nine-tenths o f the printing-trades w ork ers covered by the survey. H ourly sca les rose 10 to 12 cents fo r slightly m ore than a fourth o f the w orkers, 8 to 10 cents fo r alm ost another fourth, and 6 to 8 cents fo r a ten th .1 R aises o f 15 cents or m ore a ffected a sixth o f the printing tradesm en.

As a result o f the w idespread rate r e v is ion s, union hourly sca les on July 1, 1961, averaged $ 3 . 33 fo r a ll printing-trades w ork ers com bined— $ 3 . 18 in book and job shops and $ 3 .5 8 in newspaper plants. N early half o f the printing cra ftsm en had negotiated sca les o f $ 3. 20 to $ 3 .7 0 an hour and a fourth had rates o f $ 3 .7 0 or m ore .

Straight-tim e w eekly work schedules d e clined slightly during the year and averaged36.5 hours on July 1, 1961, com pared with36.6 hours on July 1, I960. The m o s tcom m on workweek, 371 fa hours, applied to 42 percent o f the w ork ers. Straight-tim e workweeks o f 361/* hours w ere stipulated for 30 percent o f the w orkers; 35 hours were applicable to 23 percent.

Health and w elfare program s provided in labor-m anagem ent agreem ents covered three-fourths o f the printing tradesm en. Half o f the w orkers were covered by pension-plan prov isions.

1 F or ease o f reading, in this and su bsequent d iscu ssions o f tabulations, the lim its of the c la ss intervals are designated as 10 to 12 cents, 3 to 5 percent, etc . , instead of using the m ore p rec ise term inology, ” 10 and under 12 cents, 3 and under 5 p e rce n t ," etc.

Scope and Method o f Study

Union sca les are those agreed u p o n through co lle ctiv e 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) and (2) the m axim um sched ules o f hours at straight-tim e rates. Rates in excess o f the negotiated m inim um , which m ay be paid fo r specia l qualifications or other reasons, are not included.

The inform ation presented in this bu lle tin was based on union sca les in e ffect on July 1, 1961, and covered approxim ately110,000 printing-trades w orkers in 53 c ities with populations o f 100,000 o r m ore . Data w ere obtained p rim a rily from loca l union o ffic ia ls by m ail questionnaire; in som e in stances, representatives o f the Bureau o f Labor Statistics v isited lo ca l union o ffic ia ls to obtain the desired inform ation.

The current survey was designed to r e fle c t union wage sca les in the printing in dustry in a ll cities o f 100,000 o r m o r e inhabitants. 2 A ll c it ies with 500,000 or m ore inhabitants w ere included, as w ere m ost o f those in the 250, 000 to 500, 000 group. The c it ies in the 100,000 to 250,000 group selected fo r study were distributed w idely throughout the United States. Data fo r som e of the c ities included in the study in the two sm aller size groups w ere weighted to com pensate for cit ies which w ere not surveyed. To provide appropriate representation in the com bination o f data, each geographic region and population group was con sidered separately when city weights w ere assigned.

A verage hourly sca les , designed to show current leve ls , are based on a ll sca les r e ported in effect on July 1, 1961. Individualsca les w ere weighted by the number o f union m em bers having each rate. These averages are not designed fo r p rec ise y e a r -to -y e a r com parisons because o f fluctuations in m em bership and in job c la ss ifica tion s studied. A verage cen ts -p er-h ou r and percent changes from July 1, I960, to July 1, 1961, a r ebased on com parable quotations for the. v a r ious occupational cla ss ifica tion s in both p e r iods weighted by the m em bership reported fo r the current survey. The index se r ie s , designed for trend purposes, is s im ilar ly constructed.

Trend and Scale Changes

Changes in union sca les which becam e effective between July 1, I960, and July 1,1961, ra ised the average hourly sca le for printing-trades w orkers 3. 2 percent. This r ise , slightly la rger than the gain recorded in the preceding 12 months, approxim ated the in crease reg istered in the year ending July 1, 1959, and advanced the Bureau’ s in dex (January 2, 1948—July 1, 1949-100) to157.5 (table 1). This upward m ovem ent r e flected gains of 3 .4 percent in book and job shops and 2. 9 percent in newspaper estab lishm ents, bringing the indexes fo r these branches o f the industry to 160.1 and 152.5, respective ly .

Gains in average hourly sca les varied among individual trades and geographical regions for both types of printing. Advances in sca le levels in book and job shops ranged from 2 .9 percent fo r e lectrotyp ers and stereotypers to 4 .2 percent fo r bindery w om en and in newspaper establishm ents from 2. 3 percent fo r m achine tenders (m achinists) to 3 .5 fo r p ressm en -in -ch a rg e (table 5). Regionally, the rate o f advance ranged from 2. 3 percent in the Mountain States to 5 p e r cent in the P a cific region fo r book and job (com m ercia l) shops and from 1.5 to 4 .9 p e r cent in the Mountain and P a cific regions, respective ly , fo r newspaper establishm ents (table 6).

In cents per hour, average hourly sca les rose 10. 5 cents in com m ercia l shops and 10 cents in newspaper plants. Among individual trades, how ever, in creases in average hourly sca les in book and job shops varied from 7 .8 cents for bindery wom en to 12.7 cents fo r photoengravers, and in newspaper establishm ents from 8 .2 cents for machine tenders (m achinists) to 13.2 cents for p r e s s - m en -in -ch a rge . On a regional basis, advances in average hourly sca les showed a w ider variation for newspaper w ork than for com m ercia l w ork. They ranged from 6 .5 to16.6 cents in com m ercia l shops and from 5 to 17. 5 cents in newspaper establishm ents. In both types of printing, the sm allest and la rgest in creases occu rred in the Mountain and P a cific regions, respective ly .

Many of the union contracts in effect on July 1, 1961, had been negotiated for2 y ea rs— a few w ere for longer periods. Contracts of m ore than a y e a r ’ s duration frequently provided fo r wage reopenings or contained prov isions fo r p eriod ic in crea ses . Even though individual contracts provided for in crea ses at various sp ecified dates, only those sca les that actually becam e effective between July 1, I960, and July 1, 1961, w ere included in the current study. Some of these sca le rev ision s w ere provided for in contracts

which becam e effective b e fore July 1, I960.A number of agreem ents negotiated during the year ending July 1, 1961, contain p r o v isions fo r rate in crea ses after that date. Thus, the sca le revisions presented herein do not re fle c t the total wage sca le changes negotiated in individual contracts during the survey year.

Hourly wage rates were in creased between July 1, I960, and July 1, 1961, fo r 95 percent o f the union printing tradesm en in book and job shops and fo r 83 percent o f those in newspaper plants. Higher pay sca les w ere reported fo r nine-tenths or m ore o f the w ork ers in 9 o f the 12 cra fts in com m ercia l shops and fo r at least seven-eighths of those in 5 o f the 8 trades in newspaper establishm ents.

In creases in hourly scales between July 1, I960, and July 1, 1961, ranged from 8 to12 cents for half of the printing tradesm en and amounted to 12 cents or m ore for a lm ost a fourth. In com m ercia l shops, 33 percent of the w ork ers advanced their hourly sca les 10 to 12 cents; 21 percent, 8 to 10 cents; and13 percent, 6 to 8 cents. Among newspaper establishm ents, the com parable percentages w ere 19, 25, and 6, resp ective ly . A fifth o f the w ork ers in book and job shops and a fourth of those in newspaper plants had sca le advances o f at least 12 cents an hour (table 4).

R aises in hourly scales represented gains o f 3 to 4 percent fo r nearly half o f the p rin ting tradesm en in com m ercia l shops and fo r slightly m ore than a third in newspaper plants. Scales rose 2 to 3 percent fo r a sixth o f the w orkers in both types o f printing establishm ents, and 4 to 5 percent for a sixth o f the book and job shop w orkers and a twentieth of the newspaper tradesm en. Scales rose at least 5 percent fo r a sixth of the printing tradesm en on com m ercia l w ork and for a slightly la rger proportion o f those on newspapers (table 3).

Rate V ariations by Type of W ork

C om m ercia l (book and job) printshops produce many different item s in varying quantities; newspaper establishm ents, on the other hand, are geared to m ass production o f a single, recu rrin g item at regular in terva ls. B ecause o f these variations, the com position of the labor fo rce d iffers m ateria lly in each type o f printing establishm ent. A substantial proportion o f the labor fo rce in com m erc ia l shops is com prised o f bindery wom en, m a ile rs , and p ress assistants and feed ers, who typically p erform routine and le ss skilled tasks; in newspaper printing, how ever, jo u r neymen are requ ired in greater proportions

to m eet daily dem ands. These different w ork -fo rce requirem ents are re fle cted in the average rates, which take into account the number o f printing-trades w orkers at the various rates o f pay in each type o f establishm ent.

Union hourly wage sca les o f printing- trades w ork ers, on July 1, 1961, averaged $ 3 .1 8 an hour in book and job shops and $ 3. 58 in newspaper plants. Nightwork sca les on newspapers averaged about 6 percent, o r 22 cents an hour higher than daywork sca les— $3.69 com pared with $3.47 (table 7). Because re la tive ly few w orkers are em ployed on nightwork in com m ercia l shops, in form ation fo r such w orkers was excluded from the survey.

Although daywork sca les averaged higher in newspaper plants t h a n in com m ercia l shops, there was no consistent pattern o f rate d ifferentials among occupational c la s s i fications com m on to both types o f printing. Hourly sca les fo r m a ilers on daywork a v e r aged 12 cents m ore in newspaper plants than in book and job shops. S tereotypers and photoengravers on com m ercia l work, how ever, averaged 37 and 21 cents, resp ective ly , above dayw orkers in these cra fts in new spaper establishm ents.

Negotiated wage sca les in e ffect on July 1, 1961, fo r printing-trades w orkersvaried widely fo r both types o f estab lish m ents. In com m ercia l shops, hourly day- shift sca les ranged from $ 1 .4 4 fo r som e platen press assistants a n d feed ers in Memphis to $ 4 .8 0 fo r fir s t p ressm en on 4 -c o lo r o ffset p resses in St. L ou is. Scales o f $ 3 .2 0 to $ 3 .7 0 an hour w ere specified in agreem ents fo r slightly m ore than tw o-fifths o f the printing-tradesm en in com m ercia l shops. Rates o f $ 3 .7 0 o r m ore w ere ind icated fo r a fifth and o f $ 2 .7 0 to $ 3 .2 0 for a sixth. Contract sca les o f le s s than $ 2 .7 0 an hour w ere reported fo r slightly m ore than a fifth o f the w orkers; included in this group w ere a ll o f the bindery wom en, a fourth o f the m a ile rs , a fourth o f the p ress assistants and feed ers , and a few w orkers in five other trades. Am ong bindery wom en, about seven - tenths had sca les o f le ss than $ 2 an hour and a tenth h a d rates o f $ 2 .4 0 to $ 2 .6 0 . T hree-fifth s o f the stereotypers , half o f the e lectrotyp ers , and a third o f the photoengravers had sca les ranging from $ 3 .7 0 to $ 4 .2 0 as did a sixth o f the com p ositors , m a ile rs , and cylinder p ressm en , and nearly a tenth of the bookbinders. F orty -fiv e p e r cent o f the photoengravers h a d sca les of $ 4 . 20 or m ore (table 7).

In newspaper establishm ents, hourly sca les varied from $ 2 .4 9 fo r day-sh ift m a ilers in Little R ock to $ 5 .1 3 fo r n ight-shift

stereotypers on Germ an and P olish language newspapers in C hicago. Hourly wage sca les o f $ 3 .2 0 to $ 3 .7 0 w ere indicated in la b or - management contracts fo r 66 percent o f the dayw orkers and 47 percent o f the nightwork - e rs . Rates o f $ 3 .7 0 o r m o r e applied to 18 percent o f the day-sh ift w orkers and to 48 percent o f the n ight-sh ift w ork ers. Scales o f at least $ 3 .7 0 an hour w ere in e ffect for som e w orkers in e a c h o f the newspaper printing trades; fiv e -s ix th s o f the photoengravers and p ressm en -in -ch a rg e h a d such sca les . At least tw o-fifths o f the w orkers in both o f these cra fts had sca les o f $ 4 or m ore and neither cra ft had sca les o f le ss than $ 3. 10 an hour.

Am ong the 12 trades studied in book and job shops, average hourly sca les , except fo r bindery wom en ($ 1 .9 4 ), ranged from $ 2 .8 5 fo r press assistants and feed ers to $ 4 .0 7 for photo eng ra v ers . Six o f the rem aining nine cra fts had sca les averaging at least $ 3 .4 5 an hour. In newspaper establishm ents, hourly sca les averaged low est ($ 3 .2 9 ) fo r m a ilers and highest ($ 3 .9 6 ) fo r photo engravers and p ressm en -in -ch a rg e . A verage sca les fo r the five other cra fts showed little variation, ranging from $ 3. 58 to $ 3. 63 an hour.

Scales fo r nightwork in newspaper plants fo r printing cra ftsm en w ere, on the average, 22 cents, or 6 percent, above the daywork sca les . Among individual cra fts , the d iffe r ential fo r nightwork varied from 16 cents fo r m achine tenders (m achinists) to 35 cents fo r p ressm en -in -ch a rg e . In percentage term s, the d ifferentia l ranged f r o m 4 .5 to 9 .3 percent.

City and Regional V ariations

Union sca les w ere adjusted upward b e tween July 1, I960, and July 1, 1961, fo rsom e printing-trades w orkers in each of the 53 c ities surveyed. No union sca les , how ever, w ere reported fo r book and job shops in Charlotte or f o r newspaper plants in Portland. Advances in the average hourly sca les fo r com m ercia l w ork ranged from 6 to 8 cents in 17 c it ie s , from 8 to 10 cents in 13 c it ie s , and f r o m 10 to 12 cents in 6 c it ie s . In creases o f 12 cents o r m ore were record ed in 11 c it ie s . F or newspaper work, the com parable num bers o f c ities w e r e 9, 15, 5, and 13, resp ective ly . In percentage term s, the gains represented advances o f3 to 4 percent fo r book and job printing in a third o f the c it ies and fo r newspaper w ork in about a sixth; o f 2 to 3 percent in th ree - tenths and tw o-fifth s, resp ective ly , fo r c o m m ercia l and newspaper plants. Gains o f4 percent or m ore w ere record ed in about a fifth o f the cit ies fo r both types o f printing establishm ents.

The city and regional averages presented in tables 8 and 9 w ere designed to show cu r rent levels o f rates; they do not m easure d ifferen ces in union sca les among a reas . Scales fo r individual cra fts, o f cou rse , varied from city to city . The city and regional averages, how ever, w ere influenced not only by d ifferen ces in rates among cit ies and reg ion s, but a lso by d ifferen ces in the proportion o f organized w orkers in the v a r ious cra fts . Thus, a particular cra ft or c la ss ifica tion m ay not be organized in som e areas or m ay be organized less intensively in som e areas than in others. In addition, certa in types o f w ork w ere found in som e areas but not in others, or to a greater extent in som e areas than in others. These d ifferen ces w ere re flected in the weighting o f individual rates by the number o f union m em bers at the rate. Hence, even though rates fo r a ll individual cra fts in two areas m ay be identical, the average fo r a ll cra fts com bined in each area m ay d iffer.

When the 53 c it ie s included in the study w ere grouped accord in g to population size , average hourly sca les varied by size of city . F or book and job shops, sca les averaged highest ($3.35) in the group o f c it ies o f 1 m illion or m ore population and low est ($ 2 . 98) in c it ie s with 100,000 to 250,000 population, the sm allest size group studied. The averages fo r these size groups in newspaper establish m ents w ere $ 3 .7 4 and $ 3 .3 6 an hour, r e spectively . In the two interm ediate groups (500,000 to 1 m illion and 250, 000 to 500, 000), the respective averages w ere $3.66 and $3. 08 in com m ercia l shops and $ 3. 60 and $ 3. 52 in newspaper plants (table 8).

An overlapping o f average sca les existed among the various size groups in both types o f printing establishm ents. F or exam ple, the average hourly sca le fo r Oakland in th e 250, 000 to 500, 000 population group exceeded that o f the la rg er s ize c it ies except one in both com m ercia l and newspaper printing.

R egionally, average hourly sca les fo r a ll prin ting-trades w orkers com bined varied from $ 3. 07 in the Southeast to $ 3. 60 in the P a cific region . The Middle Atlantic region was the only other region where sca les a v e r aged in excess o f the national leve l o f $ 3 . 33 which was equaled by sca les in the Great Lakes region . In book and job shops, a v e r age sca les ranged from $ 2 .7 6 in the Southwest to $ 3 .5 1 on the P a cific C oast. F or newspaper work, the highest ($ 3 .7 7 ) and the low est ($ 3 .2 2 ) averages w ere in the P a cific and Southeast reg ion s, resp ective ly , (table 9).

Standard W orkweek

W orkweek schedules at straight-tim e rates o f pay continued their downward trend

during the year and averaged 36. 5 hours, on July 1, 1961, com pared with 36.6 hours a year ea r lie r . D ay-shift workweek schedules averaged 36 .6 hours in book and job shops and 36.9 hours on newspaper work; n ight-shift w orkers in newspaper plants had an average weekly schedule o f 36 hours (table 10).

The m ost com m on straight-tim e w ork week, 37V2 hours, a ffected 39 percent o f the w orkers in book and job shops and 47 percent o f those in newspaper plants. Negotiated workweeks o f 361/* hours w ere specified for 31 and 26 percent of the printing tradesm en on com m ercia l and newspaper work, r e s p e c tively , and o f 35 hours for 25 -percent o f the book and job shop w orkers and 19 percent o f those on new spapers. Straight-tim e w ork weeks o f m ore than 51l !z hours w ere stipulated in labor-m anagem ent agreem ents for 4 percent o f the com m ercia l shops w orkers and fo r few er t h a n 0 . 5 percent o f those in newspaper plants. W eekly straight-tim e schedules o f le ss than 35 hours w ere in effect fo r 0. 2 percent o f the printing cra ftsm en in book and job shops and fo r 6 percent in new spaper plants.

Straight-tim e workweeks in newspaper establishm ents w ere generally shorter fo r nightwork than for daywork. W eekly sch ed ules o f 35 hours or le ss affected about 3 o f every 8 w orkers of the night-sl^ift and 1 of every 7 on the day-sh ift. Labor-m anagem ent agreem ents sp ecified workweeks o f 37l /2 hours fo r 5 of every 8 on day-sh ift w ork and 3 o f every 10 on n ight-shift work.

Health, Insurance, and Pension Plans

Negotiated health, insurance, and pension program s in the printing industry have in crea sed in recent years, although le ss ra p id ly than in som e in d u str ie s .3 The rate o f developm ent has undoubtedly been influenced by program s operated by a number o f unions for many years, which provide m em bers with one or m ore types o f benefits.

3 The prevalence o f negotiated health, in surance, and pension program s in the printing industry was firs t studied by the Bureau as o f July 1, 1954. Inform ation gathered on these plans was restr icted to those financed entirely or in part by the em ployer. Plans financed by w orkers through union dues or assessm ents w ere excluded. No attempt was made to secu re in form ation on the kind and extent o f benefits provided or on the cos t of plans providing such benefits.

Labor-m anagem ent agreem ents providing fo r health and insurance p rogram s affected substantially m ore w orkers than did those containing p rov ision s for pension plans— three - fourths com pared with one-half. Health and insurance program s w ere applicable to fou r- fifths of the prin ting-trades w orkers in book and job shops and to tw o-th irds o f those in newspaper establishm ents. Pension plans prov ision s affected half o f the w orkers in each type o f printing establishm ent.

Of the printing tradesm en provided health and insurance protection , 88 percent w ere covered by plans financed entirely by the em ployer. Such plans w ere included in a g ree

ments affecting 91 and 80 percent o f the p r o tected w orkers in book and job shops and in newspaper plants, resp ective ly . E m p loyer- financed pension plans p revailed for 81 p e r cent o f the printing-trades w ork ers covered by contracts providing for such plans— 85 p e r cent in com m ercia l shops and 74 percent in newspaper plants.
