Total man-days of idleness, at 19.1 million, dropped sharply from the high 1959 level to the second lowest figure re corded in a postwar year (1 6 .5 million in 1957). T h e idleness t o t a l accounted for 0 .1 7 percent of the estimated working time of all employees in nonagricultural estab lishments, excluding government. The a v e r a g e duration of stoppages— 2 3 .4 days— was higher than for any year since 1947, with the e x c e p t i o n o f 1959 (24. 6 days). The number of stoppages involving 1,000 or more workers (222) was the lowest in any postwar year. Nearly 70 percent of the work ers involved and man-days of idleness in all stoppages were attributable to these larger strikes. The number o f workers i n v o l v e d in strikes, and the resulting idleness, were higher in manufacturing than in nonmanufac turing industries, continuing the pattern of the past 10 years. Seventeen of the year's stoppages in volved 10,000 workers or m ore. Nine of these stoppages crossed State lines, affect ing from 2 to 25 States. Alm ost nine-tenths of the year's strike idleness can be attributed to disputes involv ing negotiation of agreements, either a new contract, a wage reopening, or, in some cases, an initial contract. At least a fifth of the stoppages in I960 occurred during the term of an agreement and did not involve changes in the agreement. These stoppages involved a total of 1 ,3 2 0 ,0 0 0 workers and resulted in 19, 100,000 man-days of idleness or 0 .1 7 percent of the estimated working time of all workers in nonagricultural e stabli shments, excluding gove rnment. 2 Comparable figures for 1959 were: 3 ,7 0 8 stoppages, 1 ,8 8 0 ,0 0 0 workers and 6 9 ,0 0 0 ,0 0 0 man-days of idleness (largely influenced by the long steel s tr ik e ).3 The number of stoppages in I960 was the lowest annual level recorded since 1942 (chart). As measured by workers involved and man-days of idleness, I960 strike activ ity was quite similar to 1957, in which year it had reached the lowest postwar level. The number of workers involved was almost iden tical in the 2 years, but man-days of idleness was higher in I960 than in 1957, a fact at tributable to an increase in the average du ration of strikes. Size of Stoppages The number of large strikes declined in I960. Seven percent of the stoppages begin ning in I960, or 222, involved 1,000 or more workers each (table 10). This compares with 245 large stoppages in 1959 and 332 in 1958, and marks the lowest postwar level for stop pages of this size. Such stoppages accounted for almost 70 percent of all workers involved and total man-days of idleness in I960. Seventeen stoppages beginning in I960 in volved 10,000 or more workers, as compared with 20 in 1959 and 21 in 1958 (table 2). The largest stoppages in terms of workers in volved were those involving the Pennsylvania Railroad (7 2 ,0 0 0 ), the General Electric Co. (6 3 ,000), and United Aircraft Corp. (3 2 ,0 0 0 ). The 17 major stoppages accounted for 29 per cent of the total number of workers involved Trends in Work Stoppages A total of 3 ,3 3 3 work stoppages involving at least 6 workers and lasting at least a full day or shift were recorded in I960 (table 1). 2 For those interested in comparing strike idleness in the United States with other coun tries, the estimate of percent of working time lost, including government, amounted to 0 .1 4 1 The terms "work stoppages" and "s tr ik e s " in I960. 3 For detailed data on 1959, see Analysis are used interchangeably in this bulletin* of Work Stoppages, 1959, BLS BuIL 12tS Strikes, in this special use, would thus in (September I960). clude lockouts. 2 Chart: Trends in Work Stoppages THOUSANDS and 37 percent of the strike idleness in I960; both percentages were substantially below the annual average for the period 1947-59*4 As in previous years, strikes involving 6 but fewer than 20 workers accounted far about a fifth of the stoppages but less than 1 percent of total workers involved and mandays of idleness. As in the past 10 years, approximately three-fourths of the stoppages were confined to one establishment (table 11). On the other hand, 191 stoppages involved 11 or more establishments, accounting for slightly more than one-third of the total workers involved. As in 1959, approximately 1 out of 10 m ul tiestablishment stoppages (2 or more estab lishments) crossed State lines. Duration An increase in the duration of strikes, noted in 1959, continued in I960. The pro portion of strikes which lasted for a month or longer was higher than in any year since 1948, with the exception of 1959* The num ber of strikes lasting 3 months or longer ex ceeded the number in every year since 1947 except 1959. Although the average duration of stop pages declined from 2 4 .6 calendar days in 1 9 5 9 5 to 2 3 .4 days in I960, the I960 level remained high, by postwar standards. Over a fifth of the stoppages, or 725, lasted for a month or m ore, and 201 of these remained in effect for 3 months or longer (table 13). This latter group accounted for more than half of total strike idleness during the year, but only about a tenth of the workers. On the other hand, more than two-fifths of the stoppages lasted less than 1 week; such stoppages involved 38 percent of the workers, but only 5 percent of total idleness. Included in this category were five major strikes. Of the 17 major stoppages, the 4 longest were the s t r i k e s involving, respectively, Bethlehem Steel Co. shipyards (153 days), 4 For an analysis of major stoppages for the period 1947-59, see "The Dimensions of Major Stoppages, " Monthly Labor Review, April 1961, pp. 335-343, and The Dimensions of Major Work Stoppages, 1947-59, BLS Bull. 1298 (1961)':---------------------------5 For a more detailed analysis of dura tion, see BLS Bull. 1278, op. cit. 3 construction workers in Kansas City (109 days), United Aircraft Corp. (90 days), and construction projects in New York City (68 days) (table 12). A higher proportion of the stoppages in manufacturing than in nonmanufacturing e s tablishments lasted for a month or longer (28 percent and 17 percent, respectively). Of the 19 industry groups in which 50 or more stoppages occurred in I960, about a third of the stoppages in the following indus tries lasted for a month or m ore: Prim ary m etals; electrical machinery, equipment, and supplies; and machinery (except electrical). number of stoppages lasting for 30 days or more resulted primarily from disagreement on economic issu es. More than two-fifths (120) of the strikes over union organization and economic issues combined and a fourth of the disputes over union organization alone lasted for a month or m ore. Approximately 1 out of 10 stoppages over other working con ditions lasted 30 days or m ore. Generally, both interunion and intraunion conflicts were also terminated relatively quickly; only 17 of the 310 stoppages involving these issues lasted for more than 1 month. Industries Affected Major Issues Disagreement over economic matters— wages, hours, and supplementary benefits— was the primary issue in less than half of the strikes in I960 (table 4), including eight major stoppages. These 1,592 strikes ac counted for more than two-fifths of the work ers involved, and for more than half of the idleness in all stoppages. Union organization issues in combination with economic issues accounted for 299 stop pages; the 199,000 workers involved repre sented the largest total in this category since 1952, and the 4, 150,000 man-days of idleness that resulted from these strikes, the largest since 1956. Union recognition and related organizational matters were major issues in another 239 stoppages, a decline from 1959* The number of stoppages resulting from disputes over working conditions and related issues (800) was not high by postwar stand ards, but these strikes involved more than one-third of the workers and nearly one-fifth of the total idleness during I960, proportion ately more than any other year since 1951. Three major stoppages, including the Penn sylvania Railroad strike, were attributable to issues in the area of working conditions. Stoppages resulting from interunion or intraunion disagreements declined to 310 from the 1959 level of 350. The number of work ers involved represented a slight decrease from 1959, while the man-days of idleness reflected a decline of approximately one-third from the previous year*s figure. The figures for both measures were the lowest recorded in this category in any postwar year. Slightly more than a fourth (421) of the strikes over economic issues lasted for more than 30 days, and they accounted for almost a third of the workers involved in disputes over these issues. Alm ost three-fifths of the total For the 11th consecutive year, man-days of idleness and the number of workers in volved in stoppages were higher for manu facturing than for nonmanufacturing industries (table 5). On the other hand, the number of stoppages in manufacturing reached the lowest postwar level, and for the fourth time during this period there were fewer stop pages in manufacturing than in nonmanufac turing industries. In manufacturing, the num ber of workers involved in strikes declined by 45 percent, and man-days of idleness by 80 percent, from the 1959 totals— which in cluded the nationwide steel strike. In non manufacturing, the number of strikes was higher than in any of the previous 3 years, and the number of workers involved increased for the second consecutive year, but mandays of idleness dropped sharply from 1958 and 1959 totals. Strikes in the transportation equipment industry, accounting for almost a third of the total idleness for manufacturing, involved 2 V2 tim es the number of workers and mandays of idleness recorded for the industry in 1959. This increase was attributable to three major stoppages in aircraft manufac turing and the prolonged strike at Bethlehem Steel Co. shipyards. Although overshadowed by the record steel strike of 1959* stoppages in the primary metals group (where workers were directly involved in three major dis putes) accounted for a substantial volume of strike idleness. Two major stoppages in large electrical machinery and equipment companies raised the idleness figure for this industry to its highest level since 1956, while the number of workers involved was double the 1959 figure. By all m easures, strike activity in the machinery (except electrical) industry was low by postwar standards. Of the remaining 17 manufacturing industries,. 13 experienced a decline from the previous year in workers involved and 14 in man-days of idleness; in m ost instances, the declines were substantial. Among such industries were 4 fabricated metal products; lumber and wood products; stone, clay, and glass products; textiles; food; paper; printing; and rubber. In four of the nonmanufacturing indus tries, there were increases in each of the principal measures of strike activity. Strikes in agriculture raised man-days of idleness to the highest level since 1951, and at the same time established a record number of stop pages. Stoppages in contract construction were only slightly more numerous than in 1959, whereas mining reverted to its low 1957-58 levels. The numbers of stoppages and of workers involved in transportation, communication, and public utilities were sub stantially higher than for any year since 1955— due, in part, to four major stoppages— although idleness was still considerably lower than in the past 3 years. Among these stop pages were three railroad strikes— the Penn sylvania Railroad stoppage; one involving five rail lines, subsidiaries of the United States Steel Corp. ; and another, the Monongahela Connecting Railroad, a subsidiary of the Jones and Laughlin Steel Corp. For the third suc cessive year, a slight increase in all m ea s ures of strike activity in government was r e corded. The number of work stoppages (138) in the service group showed a slight increase over 1959 figures, while the numbers of work ers (17,600) and man-days of idleness (304,000) reached the highest levels since 1955. Stoppages by Location Regions. — Man-days of idleness in I960 increased substantially over 1959 in the New England region, affected by major stoppages in the Bethlehem Steel Co. shipyards and in plants of the United Aircraft Corp. and Gen eral Electric Co. In all other regions there was a decrease in the amount of idleness (table 6). Fewer workers were involved in I960 stoppages than in 1959 in all regions except New England and the West North Cen tral region, the latter being affected by two major construction strikes in the Kansas City and Minneapolis—St. Paul areas. The number of stoppages declined in all except the Moun tain and P a c i f i c regions w h e r e sm all in creases were recorded and in the West South Central region where the number was the same in both years. States. — In each of 4 States— New York, Pennsylvania, California, and Ohio—-mo re than 100,000 workers were involved in strikes (table 7). Man-days of idleness resulting from stoppages exceeded 2 million in New York and Pennsylvania, and ranged from 1 to 2 million in Massachusetts, M issouri, and Connecticut. Thirty States were affected by the 17 major stoppages of the year. The General Electric Co. strike involved workers in 25 States, the Pennsylvania Railroad strike spread into 13 States and the District of Co lumbia, and 7 other major stoppages crossed State lines. Six major stoppages affected New York and accounted for half of that State*s strike idleness; among them were the strikes at General Electric Co. plants and the Beth lehem Steel Co. shipyards. These two stop pages, which were responsible for more than three-fourths of the idleness in Massachu setts, contributed toward the highest level of strike idleness in that State since 1946. M is souri had more workers involved in strikes than in any year since 1955, and the highest number of man-days idle since 1953 when the figure equaled that of I960. Ohio, on the other hand, had fewer workers involved and m andays of idleness than in any postwar year. The percent of estimated total working time in nonag ri cultural employment lost through strike idleness was highest in Idaho (1 .2 5 percent), largely because of a 7-month strike in the lead, zinc, and silver extration industry. Other States leading in strike idleness in relation to employment were Con necticut and Montana (0 .5 3 percent), M is souri (0 .41 percent), Massachusetts (0 .4 0 percent), and Kansas (0. 39 percent). As in 1959, the highest number of stop pages were recorded in New York (427), Pennsylvania (398), Ohio (303), California (292), New Jersey (205), and Illinois (197). Six States had fewer than 10 stoppages— South Carolina, South Dakota, Vermont, N e vada, New Hampshire, and North Dakota. Metropolitan A rea s. — In each of three metropolitan areas— Boston, Kansas City, and New York— more than a million man-days of idleness occurred as a result of I960 work stoppages. The idleness in Boston (1 ,4 5 0 , 000 man-days) and in Kansas City (1,370,000) was the highest on record for these areas. 6 The New York City metropolitan area, leading all other metropolitan areas in number of stop pages (273), workers involved (108, 000), and man-days of idleness (1 ,8 0 0 ,0 0 0 ), showed a decline from 1959 figures in number of stop pages but an increase in workers involved and man-days of idleness. 7 6 Prior to 1952, strike information was confined to city boundaries. 7 Comparable figures for 1959 in the New York City metropolitan area (Greater New York, Nassau, Suffolk, Rockland, and W est chester Counties) were as follows: 321 strikes, 9 1 ,8 0 0 workers, and 1 ,4 1 0 ,0 0 0 man-days of idleness. 5 Other metropolitan a r e a s with strike idleness ranging between V2 million and 1 m il lion man-days in I960 were Buffalo, Phila delphia, Pittsburgh, and Hartford. In each of the first three areas, where the steel strike had a great impact, the idleness was substantially less than that recorded in 1959. Hartford showed a record number of workers involved (22,200) and man-days of idleness (697, 000), largely as a result of the 90-day stoppage in plants of the United Aircraft Corp. Monthly Trends Three-fifths of the year’ s stoppages, ac counting for more than two-thirds of the year’ s strike idleness, began during the se c ond and third quarters of I960 (table 3 ). During this period, 15 of the year’ s 17 ma jor strikes occurred. Of the 2 ,0 7 0 strikes beginning in this 6 - month period, more than one-fourth were in the construction industry. The following tabulation shows the num ber of new stoppages affecting more than 1,000 workers, by month, for I960 and 1959.

A ll measures of strike activity were lower among unaffiliated unions in I960 compared with 1959. In 38 stoppages, involving 4 ,2 8 0 workers, no union was involved, reflecting an increase over 1959 and 1958 in nonunion stoppages. Contrad Status Beginning in m id -1960, the Bureau of Labor Statistics classified strikes according to the status of the union-management agree ment at the time of the stoppage, as follows: (l) Disputes arising out of disagreement on the terms of an initial agreement or out of union efforts to gain recognition (and obtain an agreement); (2) disputes arising out of renegotiation of an expiring agreement or of a reopening of an existing agreement; (3) d is putes arising during the term of the agree ment (grievance, jurisdictional, etc.), not in volving changes in the agreement; and (4) other situations. Responses to the Bureau’ s ques tionnaire, obtained for approximately fivesixths of the stoppages in I960, revealed the following distribution by the preceding categories: Man-days Workers of Number involved idleness Total stoppages covered----------Negotiation of first agreement or union recognition__________ Negotiation of agreements (expiration or reopening)-------During term of agreement (change in agreement not involved) -----------------------------Other ________________________ Insufficient information to 100.0 100.0 100.0 14.5 5.3 3.7 38.0 64.8 85.0 21.8 1.2 24.1 .4 8.5 .2 24.4 5.4 2.6 NOTE: Because of rounding, sums of the percentages may not equal 100. Among the stoppages covered, the bulk of the man-days idle (89 percent) can be at tributed to disputes involving negotiation of agreements, either a new contract or a wage reopening or, in some cases, an initial con tract. A sim ilar finding regarding major strikes during th e period 1947-59 showed that n ew contract disputes accounted f o r 96 percent of the id le n e ss.8 Disputes which occurred in I960 during the term of agree ment involved about one-fourth of the work ers but accounted for less than 10 percent of the man-days idle. Information on contract status a t the start of disputes will hereafter be provided as a regular part of the Bureau’ s review of work stoppages. Settlement Five out of six stoppages in I960 were terminated by agreement between the parties which returned th e workers to their jobs (table 15). While there were no Taft-Hartley 8 BLS Bull. 1298, op. c i t ., p. 3. 6 National Emergency injunctions issued dur ing I960, there were several instances in which the procedures of the Railway Labor Act were invoked. Stoppages were termin ated and work was resumed in 480 instances without a form al settlement, in some cases with new workers replacing strikers. Procedure (or Handling Unsettled Issues Information w a s available f o r nearly 700 strikes in which some issues remained to be settled after termination of the stop page, on the means by which these unset tled issues would be handled (table 16). A r bitration was agreed upon in nearly one-fourth of these strikes, involving about 80,000 work e r s . In the largest group, 242 strikes, fur ther negotiations toward settlement of the issues were to take place between the parties involved, directly. In the sm allest group, one-eighth of these strikes, unsettled issues were to be referred to a Government agency. Mediation In 2,054 disputes (62 percent of the total) labor and management conducted their collec tive bargaining procedures without any media tory efforts or, in response to the Bureau’ s questionnaires, neither party acknowledged the assistance of mediators (table 14). These situations accounted for approximately twofifths of the workers involved and 21 per cent of the idleness. The type of issues remaining to be set tled after the workers returned to their jobs are shown in the following tabulation. Government mediation (all levels) con stituted virtually all of the mediation reported (38 percent of the stoppages) and these sit uations accounted for 58 percent of the work ers involved. Of the 1,265 disputes in which government mediation was accepted and ac knowledged by the parties, Federal mediators participated in three-fourths of the causes. State mediators alone handled one-sixth of the situations and Federal and State media tors jointly assisted in 114 (9 percent) of the stoppages. A substantial decline in the use of private mediators was reported. Among the 668 stoppages covered in the text tabulation, those over working conditions and inter union matters constituted the largest groups in which complete settlement had not been reached. In the strikes involving work ing conditions, a quarter of a million workers were involved and a total of nearly 2 V2 m il lion man-days of idleness were recorded. In about one-fourth of the stoppages, wage and hour issues remained to be settled.

NOTE: Stoppages extending into 2 or m ore industry groups have been counted in each industry group affected; w orkers involved and man-days idle w ere allocated among the respective groups. Because of rounding, sums of individual item s may not equal totals. 35 Appendix B: Scope, Methods, and D efinitions9 Work Stoppage Statistics The Bureau's statistics include all work stoppages occurring in the United States involving as many as six workers and lasting the equivalent of a full day or shift or longer. Definitions Strike or Lockout.— A strike is defined as a temporary stoppage of work by a group of employees (not necessarily members of a union) to express a grievance or enforce a de mand. A lockout is a temporary withholding of work from a group of employees by an em ployer (or group of employers) in order to induce the employees to accept the employer's term s. Because of the complexities involved in most labor-management disputes, the Bureau makes no effort to determine whether the stoppages are initiated by the workers or the em ployers. The terms "s tr ik e " and "work stoppage" are used interchangeably in this report. Workers and Idleness. — Figures on "workers involved" and "m an-days id le " include all workers made idle for one shift or longer in establishments directly involved in a stop page. They do not measure secondary idleness—that is, the effects of a stoppage or other establishments or industries whose employees may be made idle as a result of material or service shortages. The total number of workers involved in strikes in a given year includes workers counted more than once if they were involved in more than one stoppage during that year. (Thus, in 1949, 365,000 to 400,000 coal miners struck on 3 different occasions; they com prised 1.15 million of the year’ s total of 3 .0 3 million w ork ers.) In some prolonged stoppages, it is necessary to estimate in part the total man-days of idleness if the exact number of workers idle each day is not known. Significant changes in the number of workers idle are secured from the parties for use in computing man-days of idleness. Idleness as Percent of Total Working T im e.— In computing the number of workers involved in strikes as a percent of total employment and idleness as a percent of total work ing time, the following figures for total employment have been used: From 1927 to 1950, all employees were counted, except those in occupations and professions in which little, if any, union organization existed or in which stop pages rarely, if ever, occurred. In most industries, all wage and salary work ers were included except those in executive, managerial, or high supervisory po sitions, or those performing professional work the nature of which made union organization or group action unlikely. The figure excluded all self-employed persons; domestic workers; workers on farms employing fewer than six persona; all Fed eral and State Government employees; and officials, both elected and appointed, in local governments. Beginning in 1951, the Bureau's estimates of total employment in nonagricultural establishments, exclusive of government, have been used. Idleness computed on the basis of nonagricultural employment (exclusive of government) usually differs by less than one-tenth of a percentage point from that obtained by the former method, while the percentage of workers idle (compared with total employment) differs by about 0 .5 of a point. For example, the percentage of workers idle during 1950 computed on the same base as the figures for earlier years was 6. 9, and the per cent of idleness was 0 .4 4 , compared with 6 .3 and 0 .4 0 , respectively, computed on the new base. "Estimated working tim e" is computed by multiplying the average number of workers employed during the year by the number of days typically worked by most employees. In the computations, Saturdays (when customarily not worked), Sundays, and established holidays as provided in most union contracts are excluded. * More detailed information is available in Techniques of Preparing Major BLS Statis tical Series (BLS Bull. 1168), December 1954, p. 106. 36 Duration.— Although only workdays are used in computing man-days of total idleness, duration is expressed in terms of calendar days, including nonworkdays. State Data. — Stoppages occurring in more than one State are listed separately in each State affected. The workers and man-days of idleness are allocated among each of the affected S ta te s.10 The procedures outlined on the preceding page have also been used in pre paring estimates of idleness by State. Metropolitan Area Data.— Information is tabulated separately for the areas that cur rently comprise the list of standard metropolitan areas issued by the Bureau of the Budget in addition to a few communities historically included in the strike series before the stand ard metropolitan area list was compiled. The areas to which the strike statistics apply are those established by the Bureau of the Budget. Information is published only for those areas in which at least five stoppages were recorded during the year. Some metropolitan areas include counties in more than one State, and, hence, sta tistics for an area may occasionally equal or exceed the total for the State in which the major city is located. Unions Involved.— Information includes the union(s) directly participating in the dis pute, although the count of workers includes all who are made idle for one shift or longer in establishments directly involved in the dispute, including members of other unions and non union workers. Source of Information Occurrence of Strikes.— Information as to actual or probable existence of work stop pages is collected from a number of sources. Clippings on labor disputes are obtained from a comprehensive coverage of daily and weekly newspapers throughout the country. Informa tion is received regularly from the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service. Other sources of information include State boards of mediation and arbitration; research divisions of State labor departments; local offices of State employment security agencies, channeled through the Bureau of Employment Security of the U. S. Department of Labor; and trade and union journals. Some employer associations, companies, and unions also furnish the Bureau with work stoppage information on a voluntary cooperative basis either as stoppages occur or periodically. Respondents to Questionnaire. — A questionnaire is mailed to the parties reported as involved in work stoppages to obtain information on the number of workers involved, duration, major issues, location, method of settlement, and other pertinent information. Limitations of Data.— Although the Bureau seeks to obtain complete coverage, i . e . , a "c e n su s" of all strikes involving six or more workers and lasting a full shift or more, information is undoubtedly missing on some of the sm aller strikes. Presumably, allow ance for these m issing strikes would not substantially affect the figures for number of work ers and man-days of idleness. In its efforts to improve the completeness of the has sought to develop new sources of information as to stoppages. Over the years, these sources have probably recorded, but have had little effect on the number of workers count of stoppages, the Bureau the probable existence of such increased the number of strikes or total idleness. Beginning in m id -1950, a new source of strike "le a d s " was added through a coop erative arrangement with the Bureau of Employment Security of the U. S. Department of Labor by which local offices of State employment security agencies supply monthly re ports on work stoppages coming to their attention. It is estimated that this increased the number of strikes reported in 1950 by about 5 percent, and in 1951 and 1952, by approxi mately 10 percent. Since most of these stoppages were sm all, they increased the number of workers involved and man-days of idleness by less than 2 percent in 1950 and by less than 3 percent in 1951 and 1952. Tests of the effect of this added source of information have not been made since 1952. As new local agencies having knowledge of the existence of work stoppages are e s tablished or changes are made in their collection methods, every effort is made to estab lish cooperative arrangements with them. 10 The same procedure is followed in allocating data on stoppages occurring in more than one industry, industry group, or metropolitan area. * U.S. GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE : 1961 0 — 607553 Recent Work Stoppage Studies The Dimensions of Major Work Stoppages, 1947—59* price 30 cents.
