This bulletin presents a detailed statistical anal
ysis of work stoppages in 1962, continuing an annual feature
of the Bureau of Labor Statistics program in the field of
industrial relations. Preliminary monthly estimates of
the level of strike (or lockout) activity for the United
States as a whole are issued about 30 days after the end
of the month of reference and are available upon request.
Preliminary estimates for the entire year are available
at the year's end; selected final tabulations are issued
in April of the following year.
Chronologies of the four disputes in which the
emergency provisions of the Taft-Hartley Act were invoked
by the President in 1962 are presented in appendixes B,
C, D, and E.
The methods used in preparing work stoppage sta
tistics are described in appendix F.
The Bureau wishes to acknowledge the cooperation
of employers and employer associations, labor unions,
the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service, and various
State agencies in furnishing information on work stoppages.
This bulletin was prepared by Loretto R. Nolan
under the direction of Joseph W. Bloch, in the Bureau's
Division of Industrial and Labor Relations, under the gen
eral direction of L. R. Linsenmayer, Assistant Commissioner
for Wages and Industrial Relations. Dixie L. King p re
pared the chronologies which appear in appendixes B, C,

Analysis of Work Stoppages, 1962
Summary
These stoppages directly involved 1,230,000
workers. All stoppages in effect during the
year resulted in 18,600,000 man-days of idle
ness, or 0.16 p e r c e n t of t he estimated
working time of all workers in nonagricultural
establishments. 2
The number of strikes 1 and the amount
of strike idleness in 1962 dropped below levels
for most postwar years, but increased over
1961. The number of workers involved in
strikes beginning in 1962 dropped to the lowest
level since 1942. Total man-days of idle
ness, at 18.6 million, was lower than in any
postwar year except 1957 and 1961. The idle
ness total accounted for 0. 16 percent of the
estimated total working time of all employees
in nonagricultural establishments, excluding
government, as compared with 0. 14 percent
in 1961.
Comparable figures for 1961 were: 3, 367
stoppages, 1,450,000 workers, and 16,300,000
man-days of idleness.
The number of stoppages in 1962 was
about 9 percent above I960, a year in which
strikes reached the lowest level since 1942.
The average duration of stoppages— 24. 6
calendar days—was higher than for any year
since 1947, except for 1959.
The year's total number of workers in
volved in stoppages w a s th e lowest since
1942, having dropped about 11 percent below
the 1957 level, th e previous postwar low.
This total, related to the number of work
ers employed in industry, w a s the lowest
since 1940. Man-days of strike idleness and
the percent of estimated working time lost
in strikes were lower than in all years since
1942, except 1957 and 1961. (See chart.)
The number of stoppages involving 1,000
or more workers (211) was the lowest in any
postwar year except 1961. They accounted
for nearly two-thirds of the workers involved
and man-days of idleness in 1962 stoppages.
The number of workers involved in stop
pages has been higher in manufacturing than
in nonmanufacturing industries since 1950.
The national emergency provisions of the
Labor-Management Relations Act w e r e in
voked by the President in four disputes in
1962, the highest yearly t o t a l since 1948.
(Chronologies of these disputes are presented
as appendixes B, C, D, and E .)
Sixteen stoppages involved 10,000 or more
workers each. Ten of these stoppages ex
tended across State lines.
Nearly half of the strikes during the year
occurred during renegotiation of agreements,
either through expirations or reopenings. A
little less than a third occurred during the
term of an agreement.
Types of Disputes Resulting in Stoppages
Strikes o v e r agreement renegotiations,
either on expiration or reopening, accounted
for almost half of all 1962 stoppages (table 4).
Renegotiation s t r i k e s involved more than
three-fifths of the workers and caused slightly
more than four-fifths of the total idleness.
Nearly a t h i r d of the stoppages occurred
while agreements were in effect and resulted
in one-eighth of the idleness. One-sixth of
the strikes occurred during disputes which
arose during the negotiation of first contracts
or over union recognition.
Trends in Work Stoppages
A total of 3, 614 work stoppages resulting
from labor-management disputes, involving
6 or more workers and lasting a full day or
shift or longer, b e g a n in 1962 (table 1).

Size of Stoppages
Six percent of the stoppages in 1962, or
211, involved 1,000 or more workers each
(table 11). This was the lowest number of
strikes of this size in postwar years, with
the exception of 1961 w h e n 195 occurred.
They accounted for nearly two-thirds of the
workers involved and of man-days of idleness.
Sixty percent of th e larger stoppages o c
curred in the renegotiation of agreements.
Seventy-five strikes took place while agree
ments were in effect.
Continuing the trend of m o s t postwar
years, nearly three-fifths of the stoppages in
volved fewer than 100 workers, but accounted
for only 6 percent of the t o t a l number of
workers involved and 7 percent of total strike
idleness.
1950
The 16 stoppages in w h i c h 10,000 or
more workers were involved compared with
14 in 1961, and 17 in I960. More than 300,000
workers were involved in strikes in this size
group, just over half as many as in 1961,
and the fewest number, except for 1957, in
the postwar years. Idleness in these strikes
(4,800,000 man-days) accounted for a fourth
of the total idleness. Among the larger stop
pages w ere those involving longshoremen on
the Atlantic and Gulf coasts (50,000); con
struction workers in the northern California
area (38,000), and in the Detroit and eastern
Michigan areas (25,000); New York City news
paper workers (20,000); and employees of the
Lockheed Aircraft Corp. (20,000).
3
As in the past 12 years, three-fourths of
the year's stoppages w e r e confined to one
establishment (table 12). Eleven o r more
establishments w e r e involved in 5 percent
of the s t r i k e s which accounted for about
one-third of the workers and man-days idle.
Approximately 1 out of 10 multiestablishment
stoppages (2 or more establishments) crossed
State lines.
Seven of the major strikes lasted for a
month or more: New York City newspapers,
which continued into 1963 (114 days); Eastern
Airlines; construction work in Idaho, Oregon,
and Washington (61 days), in San Francisco
and northern California (57 days), and Detroit
and eastern Michigan (52 days); longshoring,3
October and December—January (39 days); and
the Chicago and North Western Railway Com
pany (30 days).
Duration
Average s t r i k e duration in 1962 (24.6
calendar days) remained relatively high (table
14). The 862 stoppages lasting 30 or more
days accounted for over a fifth of the stop
pages ending in 1962, corresponding to the
1961 proportion. These longer strikes ac
counted for 70 percent of idleness in 1962 as
compared with just about half of all idleness
in 1961. Two hundred and twenty-four strikes
lasted 90 days or more. This was the largest
number of strikes lasting 3 months or more
since 1946. The persistence of long stoppages
is reflected in the figures below:

Strikes which occurred during the term
of an agreement were of shorter duration than
other types of disputes. Two-thirds ended in
less than a week and only 6 percent continued
for a month or longer. Two-fifths of the stop
pages occurring during first contract negoti
ations lasted for at least a month, as did
approximately a third of the disputes over
renegotiation of contracts.
Of the 207 s t r i k e s ending in the year
which involved 1,000 or more workers, about
one-fourth lasted for at least 30 days.
Among 19 industry groups in which 50 or
more w o r k stoppages o c c u r r e d , at least
30 percent of the stoppages lasted for a month
or more in 8: Furniture; printing and pub
lishing; chemicals; stone, clay, and glass;
machinery (except electrical); transportation
equipment; trade; and services.
Major Issues
Demands for general wage increases and
supplementary benefits w e r e the most nu
merous issues in stoppages arising out of
contract renegotiations (82 percent). Union
organization and security demands contributed
to the largest number of strikes over negoti
ation of first agreement. Job security and
plant administration i s s u e s and interunion
or intraunion m a t t e r s predominated in the
strikes during the t e r m of the agreement
(table 4).
Disputes over g e n e r a l wage changes,
alone or in combination with supplementary
benefit issues, led to 2 out of 5 strikes, as
in 1961. The proportion of workers involved
increased, h o w e v e r , to one-half the total
fro m
o n e - t h i r d i n 1961 ( t a b l e 5).
I d le n e s s
from this source also increased from 40 per-
cent of the t o t a l in 1961 to 65 percent in
1962. These issues were predominant in 10 of
the 16 major stoppages.
Stoppages over u n i o n organization and
security matters ranked next highest in fre
quency, amounting to about one-sixth of the
total and resulting in about 10 percent of the
idleness.
Job s e c u r i t y issues predominated in
220 s t r i k e s involving 10 p e r c e n t of the
workers and accounting for nearly 1. 6 million
man-days of idleness.
3
The stoppage was ended by a Taft-Hardey injunction on
the fourth day. Strike was resumed on December 23, at the
expiration of the 80-day injunction.
4
Although the n u m b e r of stoppages in
creased, disputes over plant administration
issues dropped considerably from 1961 levels.
The number of workers dropped from slightly
more than 500,000 to a little less than 200,000
and man-days of idleness from 3,6 million
to slightly less than 1, 5 million. The major
strikes at General Motors and Ford plants in
1961 were attributed to these issues.
Of the strikes which lasted 30 d a y s or
more, slightly more than half were over gen
eral wage changes and one-fourth involved
union organization and job security issues.
In the strikes i n v o l v i n g over 1,000
workers, idleness was highest in the strikes
over general wage changes and job security
issues. In these l a r g e stoppages, major
issues appeared with the following frequency:

Industries Affected
The number of workers involved in stop
pages has been higher in manufacturing in
dustries than in nonmanufacturing industries
since 1950; measured in man-days of strike
idleness, this relationship has persisted since
1944. The number of workers involved in
1962 strikes in manufacturing dropped below
the 1961 level (by 29 percent), w h i l e the
amount of idleness increased slightly (3 per
cent).
In nonmanufacturing industries, the
number of workers involved in strikes rose
7 percent while the number of man-days idle
rose 30 percent above the 1961 level.
In 14 industry g r o u p s , the number of
workers involved in strikes d r o p p e d from
their 1961 l e v e l s , with decreases of 50 or
more percent occurring in leather and leather
products, fabricated metal products, petro
leum refining, and wholesale and retail trade.
The number of workers in printing and pub
lishing industry strikes increased over 500
percent from 1961 (idleness in t h i s group
showed an increase of nearly 750 percent,
largely because of the long newspaper in
dustry stoppages in New York City and Cleve
land). In each year, four major strikes o c
curred in transportation and communications.
The number of workers was 14 percent lower
in this group in 1962, but idleness increased
about 45 percent, thus indicating longer dura
tion in the 1962 strikes.
Industry g r o u p s sustaining more than
1 million man-days of idleness in 1962 (table
6) were contract construction (4.2 million),
transportation and communication (2. 5 m il
lion), transportation equipment (1.4 million),
and machinery (1. 2 million).
Thirty-five s t r i k e s of 1,000 or more
workers in contract construction resulted in
80 percent of the industry*s idleness. These
large s t r i k e s also accounted f o r nearly
70 percent of the workers involved in stop
pages in this industry. I d l e n e s s in large
strikes made up three-fourths of the total in
transportation and communication.
The percent of estimated total working
time lost in strikes was highest in petroleum
refining and related industries (1.05 per
cent), considerably a b o v e the 1961 figure
(0. 61 percent). For both mining and contract
construction, the percent was 0. 60 (table 6).
Stoppages by Location
Regions. Strike idleness in six regions
was higher in 1962 than in 1961 (table 7).
The increase was g r e a t e s t in the Pacific
region where the loss in man-days in Cali
fornia and Washington was more than double
that of the preceding year largely because of
five major s t r i k e s in t he construction in
dustry, two of which lasted about 2 months.
In the East North Central region, an area
affected in 1961 by two m a j o r automobile
strikes, the n u m b e r of workers involved
in s t r i k e s decreased n e a r l y 50 percent.
Man-days of idleness, also, dropped slightly
in this region as well as in the West North
Central and West South Central regions.
States. In California, New York, Mich
igan, Pennsylvania, and Ohio, more than' a
million man-days of idleness resulted from
strikes in 1962 (table 8). These same five
States were affected by relatively high idle
ness in 1961. In 1962, the most lost time,
2,660,000 man-days, was recorded in Cali
fornia, h i g h e s t in the State s i n c e 1959.
5
Slightly more than half of this idleness r e
sulted from three major strikes— two in the
construction industry and one at the Lockheed
Aircraft Corp. New York State had the next
highest number of man-days idle, 2,410,000,
more than one-fourth of which could be at
tributed to 7 of the 16 major strikes. Next
in o r d e r of high idleness were: Michigan,
1,440,000 man-days; Pennsylvania, 1,390,000
man-days; and O h i o , 1, 110,000 man-days.
The percent of estimated total working
t i m e in nonagricultural employment l o s t
through s t r i k e idleness was h i g h e s t in
Montana (0. 51 percent), followed by Wash
ington (0.42 percent). Other States leading
in strike idleness in relation to nonagricultural employment were New Mexico (0.39 per
cent), Vermont (0. 38 percent), and Louisiana
and Michigan (0. 28 percent).
States with the highest number of stop
pages were: New York (464), Pennsylvania
(397), Ohio (298), California (263), Illinois
(240), and New Jersey (238). F e w e r than
10 stoppages occurred in each of the States
of Mississippi, North Dakota, South Dakota,
and Wyoming.
Metropolitan Areas. In four metropolitan
areas— New York City, Detroit, San Fran
cisco, and Los Angeles— more than a half
million man-days of idleness resulted from
strikes (table 9). In each of these areas this
was the greatest amount of idle time recorded
since 1959. In New York City, Los Angeles,
and San Francisco, strike idleness was about
double that of 1961, but in Detroit, it was only
slightly higher than in 1961. Large construc
tion strikes occurred in Los Angeles and San
Francisco while New York was affected by
seven major strikes. Philadelphia, on the
other hand, had the lowest number of workers
involved and man-days of idleness since 1957,
the idleness amounting to only 48 percent of
the 1961 figure.
Monthly Trends
The largest number of strikes occurred
during the m o n t h s March through August.
From a p e a k of 442 in May, the number
dropped below 300 in September (297), to the
December low of 133 (table 3). The number
of workers i n v o l v e d was over 100,000 in
April, May, June, and August. The lowest
number of workers involved, 45,000, was in
December. Peak idleness was reached in May
and June, mainly because five major strikes
in the construction industry were in effect
during those months.

Unions Involved
Three-fourths of the 1962 stoppages in
volved unions affiliated with the AFL—CIO,
continuing the trend of the past several years
(table 10). These stoppages accounted for
more than four-fifths of all workers involved
in strikes and of total strike idleness. The
number of AFL—CIO m e m b e r s on strike
dropped 15 percent below 1961, but the re
sulting man-days of i d l e n e s s was about
10 percent higher in 1962 than in the pre
vious year.
Independent or unaffiliated u n i o n s a c
counted for most of the remaining strikes
(21 percent). As in 1961, no union was in
volved in 30 stoppages.
Mediation
Strikes e n d i n g in 1962 w e r e almost
equally divided between those in which medi
ation was recorded and t h o s e which were
settled without any mediatory efforts or for
which none was reported (table 15). Govern
ment mediators, mostly Federal, assisted in
arranging settlements in 1,819 disputes (50. 1
percent) and no mediation was reported in
1,781 strikes (49 percent). The remaining
stoppages (0.9 percent) were ended by pri
vate mediation.
The government-mediated s t r i k e s in
volved-more than three-fifths of the workers
and well over four-fifths of total idleness.
The greater part of government mediation
(38 percent) was in the strikes which o c
curred during renegotiation of agreements.
Idleness in strikes in which no mediation
was reported dropped to 12. 5 percent of the
total, from 14.6 percent in 1961 and 20.9
percent in I960.
6
Settlement
Procedure for Handling Unsettled Issues
Nearly 90 percent of the stoppages were
settled in 1962 by agreements which returned
the w o r k e r s to their jobs (table 16). No
formal settlement was reached in 10 percent
of the strikes, including three which were
terminated by Taft-Hartley injunctions— the
West Coast Maritime strike, the Republic
Aviation Corp. , and the Lockheed Aircraft
Corp. stoppages. At the request of govern
ment officials, workers had already returned
to Lockheed, under a t r u c e after a 2-day
stoppage, w h e n the Board of Inquiry was
appointed. A few days later, an injunction
was issued to p r e v e n t resumption of the
strike. The Atlantic and Gulf coast longshore
stoppage was not included among the strikes
ending in 1962, since it was still in effect
at the end of the year, having resumed at the
expiration of the Taft-Hartley injunction in
December. Employers discontinued business
in 49 strikes involving almost 4,400 workers.
Of the strikes which occurred during the ne
gotiation of the first agreement or over union
recognition, 138 or a b o u t 4 percent were
terminated without a formal settlement.
For nearly 500 strikes, information was
available on the means by w h i c h unsettled
issues would be handled after termination of
the work stoppage (table 17). About one-fifth
of these issues were to be arbitrated and the
same proportion were to be settled by direct
negotiations between the p a r t i e s . The un
settled i s s u e s in one-eighth of the strikes
were to be referred to a government agency.
In the remaining 45 percent of the strikes,
the issues w e r e to be s e t t l e d by various
other means.
Among the 101 strikes in which issues
were to be arbitrated, 51 w e r e in strikes
which occurred during the term of the agree
ment, 33 d u r i n g agreement renegotiations,
and 16 during first contract negotiations.
The type of issues still unsettled after
the workers returned to their jobs are shown
in the following tabulation:

1 No work stoppages were recorded during 1962 for the industry groups for which no data are presented.
2 Idleness in 1962 resulting from stoppages that began in 1961. In some cases, the mam-days of idleness may refer to m ore stoppages
than are shown for the State and industry group since the m an-days figures refer to all strikes in effect, whereas the number of stoppages and
workers refers only to stoppages beginning in the year.
N O TE: Stoppages extending into 2 or m ore industry groups have been counted in each industry group affected; workers involved and
m an-days idle were allocated among the respective groups. Because of rounding, sums of individual item s may not equal totals.

Appendix B: Chronology— The Maritime Industry Strike,
West Coast and Hawaii, 11962 1
September 30, 1961
Contract expired. Negotiations broke down in February 1962, after the parties
failed to reach agreement on wages, overtime, welfare benefits, and vacations.
February 18, 1962
Work stoppage of West Coast maritime workers, threatened for February 20, averted
after appointment of a special mediation panel by William E. Simkin, Director of the Federal
Mediation and Conciliation Service. Members: Robert H. Moore, Deputy Director of the
Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service; James J. Healy, Professor of Industrial Relations,
Graduate School of Business Administration, Harvard University; and Commissioner George
Hillenbrand, of the San Francisco office of the Mediation and Conciliation Service.
February 26
The panel met in San Francisco with shipowners and negotiating committees of the
unlicensed maritime unions, and continued meetings for almost 3 weeks, but was unable to
effect a settlement.
March 16
Work stoppages began;2 22 ships were immediately tied up, and others were struck
as they reached port. About 5, 000 workers were directly idled at peak of strike.
Longshoremen pledged to support the strike by honoring picket lines, but the Pacific
Maritime Association obtained a Federal court order prohibiting the strikers from interfering
with the unloading of military and perishable cargo, baggage, and mail from ships.
March 17
Striking seamen withdrew picket lines from all San Francisco piers in compliance
with court order.
March 19
Strike spread to West Coast ports from Puget Sound to San Diego and Hawaii.
March 20
Shipowners accepted a Federal judge's proposal for arbitration of the dispute; the
striking unions rejected the proposal.
March 21
Shipowners and the striking unions agreed to resume negotiations with the assistance
of a Federal mediator.
March 29
Governor William T. Quinn of Hawaii flew to San Francisco to seek permission
for the unloading of 8 freighters tied up in Honolulu. He emphasized the necessity for
immediate action.
Three subdivisions of die Seafarers' International Union involved—Sailors' Union of the Pacific; Pacific Coast Marine Firemen, t
Oilers. Watertenders and Wipers Association; and die Marine Cooks and Stewards' Union.
This was die third strike of maritime woikers on die West Coast within 10 months—die first occurred in June 1961; the second
occurred in late September 1961.

April 2
Secretary of Labor Arthur J. Goldberg met with company and union negotiators in
Washington. Immediately after the meeting, he appointed a three-man panel to pursue
further mediation efforts. The panel was directed to report back to the Secretary by noon,
April 7. Panel members: W. Willard Wirtz, Under Secretary of Labor, Chairman; Robert H.
Moore, deputy director of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service; and Professor
James J. Healy.
After meeting with the parties on April 5 and 6, the panel reported that no accord
could be reached.
April 3
Governor Quinn proclaimed a state of emergency in Hawaii, and sent a radiogram
to President Kennedy requesting immediate shipping relief.
April 7
Board of Inquiry appointed by the President. Members: Professor James J. Healy,
Chairman; Frank J. Dugan, professor, Georgetown University Law School; Lawrence E. Seibel,
arbitrator, Washington, D. C. The Board was instructed to report to the President by
April 11.
Telegrams to the parties informed them that the Board would meet in Washington
on April 9. The parties were invited to appear, and each side was requested to submit a
written statement of its position. Both parties submitted statements, but deemed a personal
appearance unnecessary, since the Board chairman had spent many days as a member of
two special mediation panels, and was considered to have knowledge of the parties1 positions
and the facts with respect to the dispute.
April 11
The Board submitted its report to the President. The report indicated that agree
ment had been reached on a few issues (mostly noneconomic), but stated that a number of
work-rule changes and economic issues remained unsettled. The report summarized the
positions of the parties on the unsettled issues and stated that the underlying issue in dispute
was the total cost of a package settlement. In conclusion, the Board reaffirmed the view
of the 1961 Maritime Board of Inquiry—that one of the most important obstacles to settlement
was the multiplicity of agreements in the maritime industry.
The President directed the Attorney General to petition the United States District
Court for the Northern District of California for an injunction.
Judge George B. Harris, Federal District judge in San Francisco, issued a temporary
restraining order, and set April 16 to hear arguments on the motion for a preliminary
injunction.
April 17
Negotiators met at the request of Judge Harris. Arthur C. Viat, regional director
of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service, reported that no progress was. made.
April 18
Judge Harris extended the temporary restraining order to an 80-day injunction,
under the emergency provisions of the Taft-Hartley Act, preventing any renewal of the strike
until June 30.
May 9
The Secretary of Labor appealed to the shipowners and unions to settle their dispute.
June 1
The Board of Inquiry requested the parties to submit written statements concerning
the efforts toward settlement and their present position.
43
June 6
The Pacific Maritime Association asked President Kennedy to appoint a special panel
to study the issues and make a recommendation for settlement.
June 11
The Board of Inquiry reported to the President. The various solutions explored,
and forms of arbitration suggested, were reported. The report concluded that the 60-day
period had witnessed a substantial narrowing of differences between the parties; that re
maining differences did not justify resumption of a strike; and that a settlement should be
attainable.
The National Labor Relations Board mailed ballots to members of the three striking
unions for a vote on the Pacific Maritime Association's final offer. The voting period was
to end June 26. Morris Weisberger, head negotiator for the union, urged members not
to vote.3
June 12
President Kennedy named James J. Healy as a special mediator to try to settle the
dispute. Professor Healy announced he would hold "showdown" meetings, both separate and
joint, until either a settlement was reached or there was a final deadlock.
June 21
Contract agreement reached.4 Representatives of the shipowners and unions agreed
to submit the agreement to their respective memberships with recommendations for approval.
J. Paul St. Sure, President of the Pacific Maritime Association, called the 441/2-*nonth
contract a "major achievement" because it meant that all maritime contracts on the West
Coast would expire at the same time— June 15, 1965.
July 2
Court injunction officially discharged.
July 16
The Seafarers1 International Union notified the Pacific Maritime Association of
official ratification of the contract by the Sailors1 Union of the Pacific, Pacific Coast
Marine Firemen, Oilers, Watertenders and Wipers Association, and the Marine Cooks and
Stewards' Union.
NOTE: Following protests of the unions and the Pacific Maritime Association, during
the period of the injunction, Judge Harris modified the restraining order to (1) permit
seamen to walk off ships in American ports at the expiration of the truce; (2) hold seamen
in violation of the injunction if they refused to sign onto ships which would not complete
voyage by June 29; and, (3) provide for seamen to remain aboard ships until cargo is
unloaded, even if they return to port after the truce expires and the strike resumes.
In late April, the unions filed appeals in the Ninth U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals,
charging that these modified orders deprived the unions of the right to strike. The Circuit
Court ruled that unions must sign on for trips of normal length throughout the 80-day "cooling
off" period, but left the unions free to walk off the ships as soon as the injunction ended.
The U. S. Supreme Court refused to review the lower court's ruling and, .in effect, upheld
ruling of the U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
3 Results of the National Labor Relations Board vote were not certified to the Attorney General, since a settlement was reached
before the end of the voting period.
4 The contract provided for a 2-percent increase in base, penalty, and overtime rates effective October 1, 1961; maximum
of 7 .85-percent adjustment effective October 1963 for work rule changes; 5 days* vacation (was 3) for each 30 days worked retro
active to October 1, 1961; $150 a month maximum pension benefit { w a s $125), normal retirement at age 62 (was 65) and early
retirement at age 57 (was 60) effective October 1, 1962; companies to pay $1.10 a day to welfare fund (was 80$) retroactive to
October 1, 1961, with existing benefits guaranteed during agreement term; companies to pay 5 cents a day to work stabilization fund
and 5 cents a day to industry fund effective October 1, 1962—money to be placed in escrow pending decision on use of funds.

Septem ber 27—28
Meetings held under FMCS auspices in Miami, Mobile, New Orleans, and Galveston.
October 1

October 2
The Board began hearings in New York City.
October 4
The Board reported to the President that, despite repeated meetings and mediation
efforts, almost no progress had been made toward an agreement, and that the widespread

the appropriate District Court for an injunction against the strike.
Judge F. X. McGohey, Federal District Court, issued a 10-day temporary restraining

authorized by the Labor-Management Relations (Taft-Hartley) Act, prohibiting a resumption
of the strike until December 23.
October 16

The Board met jointly and separately with the parties between October 16 and October 31, but
both sides remained adamant in their respective positions.

which would reduce work gangs by 1 man a year during the next 3 years and increase wages
27 cents an hour over a 3-year period.
December 3
The Board of Inquiry submitted its second report to the President. The report
stated that negotiations in New York foundered on the manpower utilization issue, and
that there had been no substantial change in the positions of the parties. Because of the
pattern-setting potential of the New York contract, local negotiations, both in the Atlantic
and Gulf Coasts ports, had been perfunctory or held in abeyance.
December 14
Vote on employers' last offer began in New York under auspices of the National
Labor Relations Board; voting in other ports was scheduled for December 17 and 13. Joint
meeting in Washington under auspices of Labor Secretary Wirtz.

power utilization, job security and related issues, and that another committee, headed by
Judge Harold R. Medina, recommend settlements on all other matters by February 15.

Secretary of Labor reported that negotiations had collapsed.
Board members: Senator Wayne Morse, chairman; James J. Healy, Harvard Uni
versity, professor; and Theodore Kheel, New York City, arbitrator.
The President instructed the Board to propose action to Congress if no contract
settlement could be reached by January 20.
4
This was the fourth time a longshore strike had occurred or resumed after an 80-day "cooling off* period.;
50
January 20
The Board made the following recommendations for ending the strike: 24-centan-hour wage increase over the next 2 years (15 cents retroactive to October 1, 1962), plus
13 cents for improved pensions, health, and welfare benefits.
The recommendations also included provisions for a "study by the Department of
Labor under the direction of the Secretary of Labor of the problems of manpower utilization,
job security and all other related issues which affect the longshore industry. " Provision
was also made for a neutral board to make recommendations toward implementing the findings
of the study if the parties fail to agree by July 31, 1964.

and union representatives to renew negotiations in Washington.
1 The aerospace industry dispute developed in the early summer and involved the International Association o f Machinists, the
United Automobile Workers, and several major firms in the industry. Despite the efforts o f Federal mediators, numerous strike calls
were issued for July 23.
2 The companies and unions specified in die Taylor board's assignment included North American Aviation, In c., Ryan Aero
nautical C o ., and the United Automobile Workers o f America; and General Dynamics Corp., Aerojet-General' Corp., Lockheed Air
craft Corp., and die International Association of Machinists. The. Board's reports to die President did not deal with the issues at
Aerojet-General Corp., where a union shop was already in effect, but addressed a letter to this firm September 6, making the same
recommendations on the general wage increase issue.
3 AH of the parties, except the Lockheed Aircraft Corp., agreed to undertake collective bargaining with respect to all issues.
Lockheed maintained its fixed position on the union diop issue.

A strike of approximately 21,000 workers began at operations of Lockheed in
California, Florida, and Hawaii. President Kennedy immediately invoked the Taft-Hartley
Act and appointed a Board of Inquiry to investigate the dispute. Members: Arthur M. Ross,
professor of industrial relations at the University of California, Chairman; Frederick H.
Bullen, Pueblo, Colorado, and Paul D. Hanlon, Portland, Oregon, both experienced arbitrators.
The Director of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service sent telegrams to
the parties advising them of the appointment of the Board, and requesting that the strike be
terminated immediately.
November 29
Both parties complied with the request and the strike was halted pending the outcome
of the Board1s study. Work was resumed on the evening shift.
November 30
The Board began hearings in Los Angeles.
December 3
The Board reported to the President. The report stated no progress had been made
toward a solution of the security issue since the Taylor boards proposals, although the same
issue had been disposed of peaceably in most other aerospace companies. The report called
the truce "precarious, " since the strike was suspended only pending the Board's study and
report to the President.
The President instructed the Attorney General to seek a Federal Court injunction
to prevent a resumption of the strike. A complaint was filed in the United States District
Court in Los Angeles, and Federal District Judge Jesse Curtis issued a 10-day restraining
order against both the company and union. Judge Curtis set December 10 for a hearing on
the Government's petition for a temporary injunction against the strike.
December 10
Judge Cuftis extended the restraining order to a full 80-day injunction.
Negotiations were resumed under auspices of Federal mediators, but were recessed
indefinitely 3 days later.
January 2, 1963
Lockheed announced agreements with units of the Machinists at Honolulu and at
Redlands, California, marking the first break in the long dispute.
January 21
Company and union representatives met with National Labor Relations Board officials
to discuss plans for a vote on the company's final offer in outlying areas.
Negotiations remained deadlocked on the union shop issue, despite almost continuous
negotiations since early January.
January 27
Three-year contract, which included economic benefits but no union shop clause,
was worked out with the assistance of Federal m ediators.4
January 28
The union ratified contract.
4
Contract provided a 5- to 8-cent wage increase, retroactive to July 23, 1962, 6 to 8 cents effective July 22, 1963, and
6 to 9 cents effective July 20, 1964; additional 3- to 16-cent adjustment (inequity and classification) affecting substantial numbers
of employees; total current 7-cent cost-of-living allowance (including 1-cent adjustment effective each July 1962, October 1962, and
January 1963 under extension of previous agreement) incorporated into base rates and escalation clause continued; 8th paid holiday,,
day after Thanksgiving beginning 1962; double time (was straight time) plus holiday pay for holiday work; 3 weeks' .vacation after
10 years (was 12) and 4th week after 25 years; $30 day hospital (was $23) and $825 maximum surgical benefit (was $500)— company
paid for employees and company assumes $2 week of dependent insurance premium retroactive’ to November 26, 1962, with coverage
extending to age 23 for fulltime students; $75 lump-sum extended layoff benefit for each year's service to 15 (was $50 for each year
up to 10); life insurance made available at group rates to employees between ages 65 and 68 or until retired; pay for unused sick
leave increased to include shift premium, cost-of-living allowance, and odd workweek bonuses.
Appendix F: Scope, Methods, and Definitions1
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
demand. A lockout is a temporary withholding of work from a group of employees by an
employer (or group of employers) in order to induce the employees to accept the em ployees
terms. 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
employers. The terms "strike" and "work stoppage" are used interchangeably in this report.
Workers and Idleness. Figures on "workers involved" and "man-days idle" include
all workers made idle for one shift or longer in establishments directly involved in a stoppage.
They do not measure secondary idleness— that is, the effects of a stoppage on other es
tablishments 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 ac
counted for 1. 15 million of the year*s total of 3.03 million workers.)
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 Time. In computing the number of workers
involved in strikes as a percent of total employment and idleness as a percent of total
working time, the following figures for total employment have been used:
From 1927 to 1950, all employees were counted, except those in occu
pations and professions in which little, if any, union organization existed or in
which stoppages rarely, if ever, occurred. In most industries, all wage and salary
workers were included except those in executive, managerial, or high supervisory
positions, 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 persons; all Federal
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 percent of idleness was 0.44, compared with 6. 3 and 0. 40,
respectively, computed on the new base.
"Estimated working time" is computed by multiplying the average number
of workers employed during the year by the number oi 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.

1954), p. 106.

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 States.2 The procedures outlined on the preceding page have also been used in
preparing estimates of idleness by State.
Metropolitan Area Data. Information is tabulated separately for the areas that
currently 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 standard
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. Stoppages in the mining and logging industries are excluded from
metropolitan area data.
Unions Involved. Information includes the union(s) directly participating in the
dispute, 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
nonunion workers.
Source of Information
Occurrence of Strikes. Information as to actual or probable existence of work
stoppages 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. In
formation 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 '’census11 of all strikes involving six or more workers and lasting a full shift or more,
information is undoubtedly missing on some of the smaller strikes. Presumably, allowance
for these missing strikes would not substantially affect the figures for number of workers
and man-days of idleness.
In its efforts to improve the completeness of the count of stoppages, the Bureau has
sought to develop new sources of information as to the probable existence of such stoppages.
Over the years, these sources have probably increased the number of strikes recorded, but
have had little effect on the number of workers or total idleness.
Beginning in mid-1950, a new source of strike 'lea d s11 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 reports
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 approximately
10 percent. Since most of these stoppages were small, 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
established or changes are made in their collection methods, every effort is made to establish
cooperative arrangements with them.
2 The same procedure is followed in allocating data on stoppages occurring in more than one industry, industry group, or
metropolitan area.
