Unionization in the Hampton Roads area was almost wholly confined to the manufacturing and the public u tilitie s industries* More than B0 percent of the plant workers in the public u tilities division were employed by establishments hav ing written agreements with labor unions* In the manufacturing industries, approximately three in four workers were employed by firms with union contracts* Union representation of plant workers in the other Industry groups was negligible* The only significant unionization among office workers was in the public u tilitie s group* Nearly A0 percent of the office workers in these industries were employed by establishments having col lective bargaining agreements covering office workers* O c c u p a t io n a l W age S tru ctu re E x t e n s i v e w age a d j u s t m e n t s w e r e made i n t h e Hampton R o a d s a r e a b e tw e e n t h e o u tb r e a k o f h o s t i l i t i e s i n K orea an d J a n u a r y 195 2 * T h e s e g e n e r a l w age I n c r e a s e s , e x p r e s s e d e i t h e r a s c e n t s - p e r - h o u r o r a s p e r c e n t a g e i n c r e a s e s , w e r e g r a n t e d t o su b s t a n t i a l n u m b ers o f w o r k e r s i n a l l in d u s tr y gro u p s s tu d ie d * G e n e r a l l y , c e n t s - p e r - h o u r r a i s e s r a n g e d fro m 5 t o 1 5 c e n t s ‘ and p e r c e n t a g e i n c r e a s e s r a n g e d fro m 5 t o 1 0 p e r c e n t * I n d iv id u a l w age a d j u s t m e n t s w e r e a l s o r e c e i v e d b y a l a r g e number o f w o r k e r s i n a d d it io n t o , o r i n l i e u o f , g e n e r a l in c r e a s e s * Virtually a ll plant workers in the Hampton Roads area were employed in establishments with formalized minimum entrance rates for inexperienced workers* Minimum rates of 75 cents or more an hour were recorded in establishments representing threefourths of the total plant employment* The manufacturing indus tries reported entrance rates ranging tram 75 cents to more than 2 / Hampton Roads labor Market, March 1952, Virginia State Employment Service* 2 $1.20 an hour. The highest minimum rates were paid generally by the public u tilitie s industries—more than three-fifths of the plant workers were in establishments with minimums of 90 or more cents an hour. Minimum entrance rates recorded among establishments in the services group were typically lowest— nearly two-thirds of the workers were employed in establishments with minimums of less than 50 cents an hour.

About a tenth of the plant workers in the Hampton Roads manufacturing establishments were employed on extra sh ifts. Nearly a ll these extra-shift workers received shift differen tia ls, expressed predominantly as a percentage addition to day rates—most generally 7 percent for both second and third shift work. Nearly a ll office workers and approximately threefourths of the plant workers in the Hampton Roads area received one or more paid holidays a year. More than two-thirds of the office workers '’hnd more than half of a ll plant workers received at least six paid holidays annually. Formal provisions for granting paid vacations to employees with at least 1 year of service was a part of the policy of establishments employing more than nine-tenths of the office workers and almost a ll the plant workers in a ll indus tries. The average vacation period far office and plant work ers, after 1 year’ s service, was 1 weeko Most of the plant employees in the area with 2 years’ service were granted 1 week, and more than three-fourths of the public u tilities plant work ers were granted 2 weeks. The length of paid vacations for both office and plant employees with 5 years’ service was predomi nantly 2 weekso Manufacturing establishments, employing approximately a tenth of a ll plant workers in this group, based their rates of first-lev el supervision (generally designated leadmen or working foremen) on a fixed differential above rates earned by those supervised. The differential took the form of a specified percentage or cents-per-hour addition to the earned rates of the highest paid workers supervised. Such supervisory pay practices were even more infrequent among establishments in other indus try groups. 3 A: Cross-Industry Occupations Table A-i: O j^ ice O ccu p a tion *.
