Preface

The Bureau of Labor Statistics conducts annual surveys of union wage rates and scheduled hours of work for specified crafts or jobs as provided in labor-management agreements in selected cities 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 prevailing in each city is available in October of each year upon request to the Bureau’s regional offices. A nationwide summary report of these rates in the building construction trades was issued in January 1962. This bulletin provides additional data and indexes of the trend of wages and hours for the period 1907—61. It was prepared by Thomas C. Mobley under the direction of John F. Laciskey of the Bureau’ s Division of Wages and Industrial Relations.

Union Wages and Hours: Building Trades, July 1, 1961

Summary

Wage sca les o f unionized building-trades w orkers advanced an average o f 15 cents an hour, or 4 percent, in cit ies o f 100, 000 or m ore population between July 1, I960, and July 1, 1961, accord in g to the 55th annual survey o f union sca les in the building trades by the Bureau o f Labor Statistics. Tw o- thirds o f the 33 trades surveyed record ed advances o f 13 to 17 cents in their average hourly sca le during the year.

Labor-m anagem ent contract provisions which becam e effective since July 1, I960,resulted in scale in crea ses fo r nine-tenths o f the building tradesm en covered by the survey. Hourly sca les rose 15 to 20 cents fo r three-eighths o f the w orkers, 10 to 15 cents fo r a fourth, and 20 to 25 cents fo r a seven th .1 Scales advanced at least 25 cents an hour fo r a twelfth o f the w orkers.

On July 1, 1961, union hourly sca lesaveraged $3 . 83 for all bu ilding-trades w ork ers com bined, $ 4 .0 2 fo r journeym en, and $ 3. 06 for helpers and la b orers . Half o f the journeym en had negotiated sca les ranging from $ 3 .7 0 to $ 4 .2 0 an hour and a s im ilar proportion o f helpers and la b orers had sca les o f $ 2. 80 to $ 3. 30.

The average straight-tim e workweek r e mained unchanged at 39 .3 hours fo r a ll bu ilding-trades w orkers com bined. The m ost com m on schedule, 40 hours, prevailed fo r 7 o f every 8 building tradesm en.

Health and insurance program s w ere provided in labor-m anagem ent contracts app licable to slightly m ore than three-fourths o f the w ork ers. Pension plans w ere s p e c ified in contracts coverin g half o f the building craftsm en .

1 F or ease of reading in this and su bsequent d iscussions o f tabulations, the lim its o f the cla ss intervals are designated, fo r exam ple, 15 to 20 cents, 4 to 5 percent, etc. , instead o f using the m ore p rec ise term in ology, "15 and under 20 cents, 4 and under 5 percent, M etc.

Scope and Method o f Study

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

The in form ation presented in this bu lle tin was based on union sca les in e ffect on July 1, 1961, and covered approxim ately635, 000 journeym en and 160, 000 helpers and laborers in 52 c ities with populations o f 100, 000 or m ore . Data w ere obtained p r im arily from lo ca 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 o b tain the d esired 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 it ies o f 100, 000 or m ore population. 2 A ll c it ies o f a half m illion or m ore population w ere included, as w ere m ost c it ies 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 widely throughout the United States. Data for som e of the cit ies included w ere weighted to c o m pensate fo r the other c it ies which were not surveyed. In ord er to provide appropriate representation in the com bination o f data, each o f the geographic regions and population groups was con sidered separately when city weights w ere assigned.

A verage hourly sca les , designed to show current lev e ls , are based on a ll sca les r e ported in effect on July 1, 1961. Individualscales are weighted by the num ber o f union m em bers at each rate. These averages are not designed fo r p rec ise y e a r -to -y e a r c o m parisons, because o f fluctuations in m em b ership and. in job class ifica tion s studied.

July 1, I960, to July 1, 1961, are based oncom parable quotations fo r the various o c cupational cla ss ifica tion s in both periods, weighted by the m em bership reported in the current survey. The index se r ie s , designed fo r trend purposes, is s im ilarly constructed .

Wage Scale Changes

Between July 1, I960, and July 1, 1961, union wage sca les fo r building-trades w ork ers rose 4 percent, to advance the Bureau’ s index of union hourly sca les for these w ork ers (1947— 49=100) to i84. 3 (table 1). This advance, which was approxim ately the same as in the previous 12-m onth period , re flected gains of 3. 8 percent for journeym en and 4. 8 percent for helpers and la b orers (table 3).

Among the 24 journeym en trades the rate of in crease ranged from 2. 2 percent for p lasterers to 4 .9 percent for tile la y ers . Advances o f 3. 5 to 4 percent w ere record ed by 14 trades and o f 4 to 4. 5 percent by 5 trades. Gains for the nine helpers and la b orers class ifica tion s ranged from 3 .8 p e r cent fo r p la s te re rs1 la b orers to 6. 1 percent fo r elevator con stru cto rs1 h elpers . A verage sca les rose 5 percent for building la b orers , 4. 1 percent fo r tile layers* h elpers, and from 4. 5 to 5 percent for each of the five other c la ss ifica tion s .

Many of the union contracts in e ffect on July 1, 1961, were negotiated fo r 2 years—a few were fo r a longer period . Contracts o f m ore than a y ea r ’ s duration often contain prov isions fo r period ic in crea ses . Although individual con tracts provided for in creases at various dates, only those that actually b e cam e effective between July 1, I960, andJuly 1, 1961, w ere included in the currentstudy. Some o f these sca le rev ision s were provided fo r in contracts which becam e e ffective p r ior to July 1, I960. A number ofagreem ents negotiated during the year con tained provisions for rate in crea ses after July 1, 1961. Such deferred advances havebeen excluded from the survey. Thus, the sca le changes presented herein do not re fle ct the total wage sca le changes negotiated in individual contracts during the 12 months covered by the survey.

During the year ending July 1, 1961, the average union hourly scale for building- trades w orkers in c ities o f 100, 000 or m ore population in creased 15 cents. This advance was 1 cent m ore than the gain record ed in the preceding 12-m onth period and 1 cent b e low that reg istered in the year ending July 1, 1959. Journeym en, as a group, advanced their average sca le 15 cents an hour while helpers and la b orers m oved up 14 cents (table 3).

C ents-per-h ou r in crea ses in the average scale for individual journeym en trades showed a wider variation than did those for helpers and la b orers . They varied from 9 cents an hour for p lasterers to 19 cents fo r e leva tor con stru ctors and tile la y ers . Scales for boilerm akers and stonem asons rose an a v e r age o f 17 cents an hour while those fo r b r ick layers , e lectr ic ia n s , m achin ists, and s tru ctu ra l-iron w orkers in creased their average hourly sca le by 16 cents. Of the rem aining 15 trades, all except asbestos w orkers and lathers showed advances of at least 13 cents. F or the nine helper and laborer c la s s if ic a tions in crea ses ranged from 11 cents an hour for com position r o o fe r s 1 helpers to 18 cents for elevator con stru cto rs1 helpers. Three c lass ifica tion s (brick layers* tenders, m arble setters* helpers, and terra zzo workers* helpers) showed advances o f 15 cents. B uilding la b orers , num erically the m ost im portant group, ra ised their average 14 cents as did plumbers* la b orers (table 3).

Higher pay sca les becam e effective du ring the year ending July 1, 1961, fo r 90 p e r cent of the journeym en in the building trades and for 93 percent o f the helpers and la b orers . F or a few w orkers in one jou rn ey men trade and in one laborer c la ss ifica tion , scales w ere rev ised downward. Such decrea ses affected le ss than 0. 1 percent o f the organized bu ilding-trades w ork ers. Rates rose for at least seven-eighths o f the w ork ers in 24 o f the 33 trades surveyed. Increa ses fo r journeym en varied from 10 to 15 cents an hour fo r a lm ost a fourth, from 15 to 20 cents fo r about th ree-eighths, and from 20 to 25 cents fo r slightly m ore than an eighth. Advances o f 25 cents or m ore affected a tenth o f the journeym en. Among helpers and la b o re rs , hourly sca les advanced 10 to 15 cents fo r slightly m ore than a fourth, 15 to 20 cents for nearly tw o-fifths, and 20 to 25 cents fo r a lm ost a fifth (table 5). Hourly sca les in creased 15 cents fo r a fifth o f the journeym en and nearly a fourth of the helpers and la b orers , 10 cents fo r a tenth and an eighth, resp ective ly , and 20 cents for a tenth o f the journeym en and alm ost tw o- tenths o f the helpers and la b orers .

While the in crease in term s of cen ts- per-h ou r was approxim ately the sam e for journeym en and fo r helpers and la b orers , the rate o f gain was greater for la b orers than for journeym en. Although gains o f 4 to 6 percent were record ed fo r about half o f the w orkers in both groups, advances o f 6 to 8 percent were reg istered by a tenth o f the journeym en and three-tenths of the helpers and la b orers . These proportions w ere r e versed for gains o f less than 4 percent (table 4).

Increases in average hourly sca les fo r journeym en, on a regional basis , varied from 12 to 18 cents in all regions except the Southeast, where the advance was 9 cents. In percentage term s, the gains varied from 2 .7 in the Southeast to 4 .7 in the P acific region . F or helpers and la b orers , the g rea test advance (18 cents) was in the Mountain region; the sm allest (2 cents) was in the Southeast. In all other regions, the in creases varied from 8 to 16 cents. These in creases represented gains o f 1.1 and 7 .7 percent in the Southeast and Mountain regions, r e s p e c tively, and varied from 3 .8 percent to 5 .2 percent in the rem aining regions (table 6).

Hourly Wage Scales

On July 1, 1961, journeym en, as a group, had sca les averaging $ 4 . 02 an hour. Among the 24 journeym en cra fts , average sca les varied from $3 . 66 an hour fo r paperhangers to $ 4 .3 4 for b r ick la yers . Of the rem aining trades, 10 averaged $4 . 10 or m ore an hour, 6 had averages o f $ 4 to $ 4 .1 0 , and only 3 averaged less than $ 3 .7 5 an hour.

Pay sca les fo r the 24 journeym en trades varied widely, ranging from $ 2 .5 0 fo r c a r penters in Charlotte and paperhangers in L ouisville to $ 5 .3 1 fo r som e stonem asons in New York City. Rates o f $ 5 .1 0 or m ore were also in effect for b o ilerm ak ers, b r ick layers , and stru ctu ra l-iron w orkers in New York City and for rodm en and stru ctu ra l-iron w orkers in Newark. Half o f the journeym en had sca les ranging from $ 3 .7 0 to $ 4 .2 0 an hour, and alm ost three-tenths had an hourly scale o f $ 4 .2 0 or m ore (table 7). Rates of $ 4 .2 0 or m ore an hour w ere provided in labor-m anagem ent agreem ents for m ore than half of the brick layers and boilerm akers; for at least tw o-fifths of the e lectr ic ia n s , e le vator con stru ctors , p ipefitters, p lasterers , plum bers, s tru ctu ra l-iron w orkers, and tile layers; a third or m ore o f the lathers, m arble setters, sheet-m etal w orkers, and stonem asons; and fo r som e w orkers (g en erally 15 to 25 percent) in 10 other trades. Hourly rates o f less than $3. 10 were in effect fo r 1 percent o f the journeym en and in only four crafts did the proportion exceed 5 percent.

The average hourly scale fo r all helpers and laborers com bined was $ 3 .0 6 on July 1, 1961, and among individual c lass ifica tion s varied from $ 2 .6 4 for com position roofers* helpers to $3 . 35 fo r p lasterers* laborers and terrazzo workers* h elpers. Building la b o r e rs , num erically the largest group, had an average scale o f $ 2 .9 8 an hour (table 7).

Individual wage rates for helpers and laborers a lso showed a wide variation— ranging from $ 1 .5 0 an hour for building

laborers in Charlotte to $ 4 .4 5 fo r som e of the p lasterers* la b orers in New Y ork City. Hourly sca les o f $ 2 .8 0 to $ 3 .3 0 w ere in e f fect fo r half o f the helpers and la b orers . Negotiated sca les o f le ss than $ 2 . 80 prevailed for a fourth o f the w orkers as did those of $3 . 30 or m ore . Rates of le ss than $ 2 . 10 an hour w ere contained in agreem ents applicable to 7 percent o f the helpers and la b orers ; however, in only two c la ss ifica tion s was the proportion in excess o f 8 percent.

City and Regional Variations

Labor-m anagem ent negotiations in the building industry are generally conducted on a loca lity basis . Among the factors affecting the pay sca les for bu ilding-trades w orkers are variations in type and amount of loca l building activity, the demand for construction w orkers, the extent o f unionization, and the general leve l o f wages in individual lo ca lities . These fa ctors are re flected in the relatively wide variations in negotiated sca les fo r ind ividual crafts within a loca lity as w ell as in the d ifference in rates among cities and regions. F or exam ple, hourly sca les for carpenters ranged from $2 . 50 in Charlotte to $4. 75 in New York City. The range of rates among the 24 journeym en crafts in 6 typical cities are shown in the follow ing tabulation:

The difference between the highest and low est sca le fo r helpers and la b orers in each of the above c it ies was sm aller than that fo r journeym en, ranging from 53 cents in Boston to 97 cents in New York City.

The city and regional averages presented in tables 8 and 9 are designed to show current levels o f rates. They do not m easure d ifferences in union sca les o f the various cra fts among areas. As previously indicated, sca les for individual trades d iffer from one city to another. The city and regional averages are influenced not only by d ifferen ces in rates among cit ies and regions, but a lso by d ifferences in the proportion of organized w ork ers in the various cra fts . F or exam ple, a particular cra ft or c la ss ifica tion m ay not be

organized in som e areas or may be organ ized less intensively in som e areas than in others. In addition, certa in types o f 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 ifferen ces are re flected in the weighting o f individual rates by the number o f union m em bers at the rate. T h ere fore , even though rates fo r all individual crafts in two areas are identical, the average for a ll cra fts com bined in each o f the areas m ay d iffer.

A verage hourly sca les , on a city basis , varied w idely among the 52 c it ie s surveyed fo r both journeym en and for helpers and la b o re rs . Hourly sca les fo r journeym en averaged highest ($ 4 .6 5 ) in New York City and low est ($ 3 .2 2 ) in Charlotte. A verages o f $ 4 or m ore an hour prevailed in 13 other c it ie s , and ranged from $ 3 .7 5 to $ 4 in 20 c it ies and from $ 3 .5 0 to $ 3 .7 5 in 13 c ities (table 8).

F or helpers and la b orers , average wage rates ranged from $ 1.51 an hour in Charlotte to $ 3 .9 1 in New Y ork City. They averaged $ 3 or m ore in 15 other c it ie s , and le ss than $ 2 in 4 oth ers. A verages varied from $ 2. 75 to $ 3 in 14 c it ie s , from $ 2 .5 0 to $ 2 .7 5 in 9 c it ie s , and from $2 to $ 2 . 25 in 6 (table 8).

When the 52 surveyed cities w ere grouped accord ing to population size , average hourly sca les fo r union building-trades w ork ers varied by size o f city . In the group of c it ies with a m illion or m ore population, sca les averaged $ 4 .2 8 for journeym en and $ 3 .4 8 fo r helpers and la b orers— 55 and 71 cents, resp ective ly , higher than in the sm allest size population group studied (100, 000 to 250, 000).

A verage hourly sca les fo r the cit ies within each population group showed con sid erable variation fo r both journeym en and fo r helpers and la b orers . The range of average sca les was greater fo r helpers and la b orers than fo r journeym en in each grouping. The spread between the highest and low est c ity averages was greatest in the group o f c ities with 250, 000 to 500, 000 population— $ 1.16 fo r journeym en and $1 .96 for helpers and la b o re rs . The spread was narrow est fo r journeym en (68 cents) in c ities with 500, 000 to 1 m illion inhabitants, and fo r helpers and la b orers ($ 1 .2 1 ) in cities o f 1 m illion or m ore population.

An overlapping o f average sca les existed among the various size groups. F or exam ple, the average sca le fo r helpers and la b orers in P eoria , in the group o f c it ies with 100,000 to 250,000 population, was ex ceeded by only one city in each o f the la rger size groups.

On a regional basis , average hourly wage rates fo r building construction w orkers ranged from $ 3 .2 2 in the Southeast to $ 4 .2 0 in the Middle A tlantic. Hourly sca les averaged $3.92 in the P a c ific , $3.84 in the Great Lakes, and from $ 3 . 39 to $ 3 .7 0 in the other regions (table 9).

Journeym en sca les averaged highest ($ 4 .4 0 ) in the M iddle Atlantic States and low est ($ 3 .5 0 ) in the Southeast region . A ll journeym en cra fts in the Middle Atlantic r e gion averaged at least $ 3. 46 an hour, and 20 trades had sca les averaging in excess o f $4.10 an hour. In the Southeast, 3 cra fts averaged le ss than $ 3 an hour, whereas 14 averaged $3.50 or m ore , the highest o f which was $3 .98 fo r stonem asons. A verages in ex cess o f $ 4 w ere a lso reg istered by 16 trades in the P acific region , 14 in the Great Lakes region , 12 in New England, and by at least 3 trades in each o f the other regions except the Southeast and Southwest.

F or the nine helper and la b orer c la s s i f i cations com bined, average wage rates varied from $ 2 an hour in the Southeast to $ 3 .4 5 in the Middle Atlantic region . In seven r e gions, a ll helper and laborer class ifica tion s averaged in excess o f $ 2 .4 0 an hour. A v e r ages o f at least $ 3 an hour were record ed by eight helper and laborer groups in the M iddle Atlantic, seven in both the Great Lakes and P acific reg ion s, and by four in New England.

Standard W orkweek

Changes in the negotiated stra ight-tim e workweek between July 1, I960, and July 1,1961, a ffected relatively few bu ilding-trades w ork ers. The changes reported had no effect on the average workweek which rem ained unchanged at 39. 3 fo r a ll w orkers com bined— 39. 3 for journeym en and 39. 5 fo r helpers and la b orers (table 12).

The m ost prevalent workw eek con sisted o f 40 hours, and was in e ffect fo r 7 o f every 8 building-trades w orkers. A standard w ork week o f 35 hours was stipulated in la b or -m a n agement contracts applicable to a tenth o f the building construction w orkers; such schedules affected a lm ost three-tenths o f the painters and b r ick la y ers1 tenders, and a fifth o f the b rick layers and m osa ic and terra zzo w ork ers1 h elpers. Straight-tim e workweeks o f 30 hours w ere negotiated fo r slightly m ore than a fifth o f the p lasterers and about a tenth o f the e lectr ic ian s and plasterers* la b orers .

Health, Insurance, and P ension Plans

Health, insurance, and pension plans p r o vided in labor-m anagem ent agreem ents fo r w orkers in the building trades have in creased steadily in recent years. The w idespread

developm ent o f such plans in the industry has perhaps been le ss rapid than in industr ies where problem s o f seasonal operations and casual em ploym ent are not as extensive. A lso , m ost con stru ction -trades unions have operated their own program s providing their m em bers with one or m ore types o f benefits, such as those coverin g death, o ld -a ge , s ick n ess, or disability . The developm ent o f n e gotiated insurance and pension program s un- doubtly has been affected by these fa ctors . On July 1, 1961, slightly m ore than th ree - fourths o f the building-trades w orkers w ere covered by con tracts providing fo r health or insurance plans, and half w ere covered by pension plan provisions— a slight in crease in coverage o f both types o f program s over the previous y e a r .3

The union construction w orkers provided health and insurance protection w ere covered by em ployer financed plans. Such health and insurance provisions- w ere applicable to a m ajority o f the w orkers in virtually all o f the trades. Pension plan prov isions financed entirely by em ployers affected practica lly all o f the building tradesm en covered by such plans. P rov ision s for these plans o ccu rred m ore frequently fo r bo ilerm akers and e le c tricians than fo r the other trades. Among the cra fts in which there w ere substantial proportions o f the w orkers cov ered w ere asbestos w ork ers, b rick la y ers , carpenters, cem ent fin ish ers, la thers, m osa ic and terra zzo w orkers, painters, p ipefitters,

p lasterers , p lum bers, rodm en, sheet-m etal w orkers, stru ctu ra l-iron w orkers, tile la y ers , b r ick la y e rs ’ tenders, p la ste rers ’ la b o r ers , and plumbers* la b orers .

Union Scales by City and Trade

Union sca les o f wages and hours in e f fect on July 1, I960, and July 1, 1961, t o gether with the amount o f em ployer co n tr ibutions to health, insurance, pension, and vacation plans on July 1, 1961, fo r the in d ividual trades in each o f the 52 c it ies included in the study are presented in table 13.

The prevalence o f negotiated health, in surance, and pension program s fo r con stru ction w orkers was fir s t studied in July 1954. Inform ation on these plans was restricted to those financed entirely o r in part by the em ployer. Plans financed by w orkers through union dues or assessm ents were e x cluded from the study. No attempt was made to secu re in form ation on the kind and extent of benefits provided or on the cost o f plans providing such benefits. In the current study, how ever, in form ation was obtained on the amount o f em ployer contributions in term s o f cents per hour o r percent o f rate. Such in form ation is presented in table 13. Although some em ployer payments are calcu lated on the basis o f total hours or gross payroll, these variations in the method o f com putation are not indicated in the tabulation.
