This bulletin presents a detailed statistical analy
sis of work stoppages in 1965, 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 on request.
Pre
liminary estimates for the entire year are available at the
year's end; selected final tabulations are issued in the
spring of the following year.
The methods used in preparing work stoppage
statistics are described in appendix B.
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 Edward D. Onanian
in the Bureau's Division of Industrial and Labor Relations,
Joseph W. Bloch, Chief, under the general direction of
L. R. Linsenmayer, Assistant Commissioner for Wages
and Industrial Relations.

Analysis o f W o r k
Stoppages, 1965
More than four-fifths of the year's
strikes occurred in situations where a col
lective bargaining relationship was already
in existence; 46 percent of the stoppages oc
curred during the renegotiation of an agree
ment, while 35 percent arose during the term
of a contract. Demands for general wage
changes and/or supplementary benefits were
the major issues in more than two-fifths of
the year's stoppages, and in more than fourfifths of those arising during the renegotiation
of an agreement.
Summary
In 1965 the number of work stoppages
beginning in a single year reached its highest
level since 1955. However, both the number
of workers involved in these stoppages and
the idleness resulting from all strikes in
effect during the year were below the aver
ages for the previous decade. 1 A total of
3,963 work stoppages, involving 1, 550, 000
workers, began in 1965. Idleness resulting
from strikes which were in effect during the
year totaled 23.3 million man-days, or 0.18
percent of the estimated total working time
of the nonagricultural work force (exclusive
of government). Strikes ending during the
year averaged 25 days in duration, compared
with 22.9 days in 1964.
The increase in work stoppages dur
ing 1965 was concentrated among manufac
turing industries, which accounted for 2, 080
of the year's stoppages, compared with 1,794
in 1964. Idleness resulting from manufac
turing stoppages was, however, less than in
the previous year.
Among industries, the
construction industry sustained the greatest
volume of idleness in 1965 (4.6 million mandays); more than two-fifths of the time lost
in this industry resulted from four major
stoppages, the shortest of w h i c h was of
24 days' duration.
The relatively high level of strike
idleness, which had characterized the closing
months of 1964, continued through the first
three quarters of 1965.
Eighteen of the
21 major stoppages (those involving 10,000
workers or more) started during this period
and accounted for a significant proportion of
the worker and idleness totals. The Atlantic
and Gulf Coast longshoremen’ s strike, which
began in 1964, was also in effect during this
period. 2 Seven major stoppages were in
progress in July when monthly strike idleness
reached its peak for the year, 3.7 million
man-days.
Trends in Work Stoppages
In 1965, as in 1964, the number of
strikes beginning in the year exceeded that
of the previous year. Work stoppages begin
ning in 1965 which involved as many as six
workers, and lasted a full day or shift, or
longer, totaled 3, 963; this was 8 percent
more than the 1964 total, and 18 percent
above the relatively low level recorded in
1963 (table 1). The strikes which began in
1965, however, i n v o l v e d fewer workers
(1, 550, 000) and represented a smaller pro
portion (3.1 percent) of the total nonagricul
tural work force (exclusive of government)
than in 1964. Since I960, the latter measure
has not exceeded 3.4 percent. In the earlier
postwar period, the proportion of the work
force directly affected by strikes was less
than 4 percent only in 1954 and 1957.
None of the stoppages beginning or
threatened in 1965 was deemed a serious
enough threat to national health or safety to
warrant the utilization of the national emer
gency provisions of the Taft—Hartley Act,
but high-level Government mediation was re
quired to settle several strikes and to avert
a nationwide stoppage in the basic steel
industry.
Strikes in 1965 tended to involve
more workers than in recent years. Approxi
mately 46 percent of the 1965 stoppages in
volved 100 workers or more, compared with
41.7 percent in 1964. Of the larger strikes,
268 directly affected at least 1,000 workers—
the highest incidence since 1958.
Strike idleness in 1965 amounted to
23.3 million man-days, or 0.18 percent of e s
timated total working time in nonagricultural
establishments (exclusive of government).
The idleness total was slightly greater in
absolute terms than that recorded in 1964,
but represented the same proportion of total

[Semilog scale]
Contract Status
Continuing the p a t t e r n of recent
years, the largest proportion (46 percent) of
the work stoppages beginning in 1965 were
renegotiation disputes. Strikes arising during
the t e r m of an agreement accounted for
35 percent of the year's t o t a l .
Eighteen
percent of the stoppages occurred during the
negotiation of the initial agreement or in the
union's quest for recognition. The proportions
of stoppages and idleness, by contract status,
in the 1963—65 period appear in the following

NOTE: Because o f rounding, sums o f individual items may

In both absolute and relative terms,
the number of workers participating in re
negotiation strikes and the amount of result
ant idleness declined from the levels of the
previous year. Renegotiation stoppages in
volved 64 percent of all strikers and were
responsible for 80 percent of total strike
idleness (table 4). As in recent years, more
than four-fifths of these stoppages resulted
from disputes over general wage changes
and/or supplementary benefits. A consid
erably smaller proportion (7 percent) of the
renegotiation strikes developed out of dis
putes over plant administration or job secu
rity matters; these accounted, however, for
nearly one-fifth of the total idleness from
such stoppages, largely because four of the
major strikes were included in this category.
Agreement renewal strikes accounted f o r
nearly three-fifths of all stoppages in manu
facturing industries, and for one-third of the
strikes arising in the nonmanufacturing sector
(table A -4).
The number of workers involved in
strikes which occurred during the term of
an agreement was only slightly larger in 1965
3
than in 1964, but the idleness resulting from
these stoppages was nearly a fifth greater
than the year before. Strikes of this type
which lasted 30 days or longer affected a
larger number of workers than those of like
duration in 1964, thus accounting in part for
the higher level of idleness.
In general,
these disputes were resolved promptly, with
46 percent ending in 3 days or less. Plant
administration and job security disputes ac
counted for more than two-fifths of the strikes
which occurred during the term of an agree
ment, and interunion and intraunion conflicts
for another third. Industrially, these strikes
occurred with greatest frequency in construc
tion and mining, accounting for 66 and 81 per
cent, respectively, of all stoppages in these
industries.
The stoppages which occurred during
the establishment of a collective bargaining
relationship were generally small in size and
frequently long in duration. More than fourfifths of these strikes directly affected fewer
than 100 workers each, and only 10 involved
as many as 1, 000 workers— two were strikes
by taxicab drivers in New York City. Only
1 out of 5 stoppages of this type was settled
in less than a week; on the other hand,
44 percent lasted a month or longer. Disputes
over union organization and security matters
led to 66 percent of these stoppages, while
demands for general wage changes and/or
supplementary benefits accounted for another
24 percent of the total. The largest number
of these strikes (105) occurred in wholesale
and retail trade, where they accounted for
nearly one-third of the year's stoppages.
Twenty-one work stoppages beginning
in 1965 involved as many as 10, 000 workers
each, compared with 18 in 1964 (table 2).
These strikes directly idled 387, 000 workers,
and, combined with the idleness accruing in
1965 from the Atlantic and Gulf Coast long
shoremen's strike, resulted in approximately
6 million man-days of idleness. The largest
stoppage started during th e year was an
11-day interstate strike against the Glass
Container Manufacturers Institute involving
40, 000 workers; the longest of the major stop
pages was an 89-day construction strike in
upstate New York (table 13). Other major
stoppages included a strike-lockout involving
the New York City Publishers Association; an
interstate bituminous coal s t r i k e ; and a
78-day strike involving the maritime industry
along the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts.
Although significant in number, stop
pages involving fewer than 100 workers each
accounted for less than 6 percent of the year's
strike idleness. Strikes of this size accounted
for two-thirds or more of the stoppages in
each of the following industry groups: Ap
parel, construction, finance, printing, servvices, and trade.
Single establishment s t r i k e s con
tinued to constitute nearly four-fifths of all
stoppages (table 12). This group, however,
was responsible for a larger proportion of
the worker and idleness totals than in 1964.
Of the multiestablishment strikes, those af
fecting 11 establishments or more were about
as numerous as in 1964, but accounted for
a smaller proportion of total idleness than
in the previous year.
Size of Stoppages
Work stoppages among groups of 100
workers or more occurred with greater f re
quency in 1965 than in recent years. Approxi
mately 46 percent of the 1965 stoppages were
of this size (table 11) compared with 41.7
percent in 1964 and an average of 41.4 per
cent during the 1960—64 period. The increase
in the incidence of strike activity in 1965 was
concentrated in this group, rather than among
stoppages of smaller size. Indeed, the number
of stoppages of the smallest size (those in
volving fewer than 20 workers) was less in
1965 (686) than in 1964 (718).
Of the larger strikes, 268 directly
affected as many as 1, 000 workers— the high
est incidence since 1958. These stoppages
accounted for 7 percent of all strikes in 1965,
and involved nearly two-thirds of the workers
participating in new strikes. Including those
continued from 1964, stoppages of this magni
tude were responsible for nearly two-thirds of
the year's total strike idleness. Slightly more
than three-fifths of these large stoppages
were renegotiation disputes, while about a
third occurred during the term of agreements.
Type of Employer Unit
As
in d ica ted
in
the
tab u la tio n
that
follows, 7 out of every 8 strikes beginning
in 1965 involved a single employer operating
one establishment or more. Less numerous,
but generally larger in size, were the 490
multiemployer stoppages; this group, which
included 281 stoppages involving employer
associations, accounted for 33 percent of the
workers involved and 38 percent of the year's
idleness total.
Stoppages involving employer asso
ciations in 1965 presented much the same
characteristics as in 1964.
In more than
9 out of 10 cases, these strikes occurred
during the renegotiation of an agreement.
Demands for general wage changes and/or
supplementary benefits were the major issues
in more than four-fifths of the association
stoppages. In terms of size, a relatively
large proportion (20 percent) involved at least
1, 000 workers each. Industrially, more than
three-fifths of these s t r i k e s occurred in
construction.

Duration
Since 1959, the average duration of
work stoppages has been high, relative to
earlier postwar experience. In 1965, the
average duration reached its highest level
since 1947; strikes ending during the year
averaged 25 calendar days, compared with an
average of 22.9 days in 1964, and an average
of 20 days during the 1948—58 period. The
median duration of strikes ending in 1965, at
9 days, was significantly below the mean; in
both 1963 and 1964, the median duration was
8 days.
One out of every three workers af
fected by a strike ending in 1965 was idle
for less than a week (table 14). On the other
hand, a fourth of the strikers were idle for
periods of 30 days or longer. Workers in
volved in five major strikes were included
in the latter group, which accounted for nearly
two-thirds of total idleness.
As the increase in average duration
indicates, there was a greater number of
stoppages lasting a month or longer in 1965
than in 1964. The 938 strikes of such length
which ended in 1965 constituted the highest
total for any year since 1953, Included among
the long stoppages were 221 which lasted
90 days or longer and accounted for slightly
less than a fifth of total idleness. More than
three-fifths of the strikes lasting 90 days or
longer occurred in manufacturing industries;
the largest number (37), however, occurred
in wholesale and retail trade.
The length of a strike depends on
many factors, not the least important of which
is the principal issue in dispute. As in other
y e a r s , significant variations occurred in
average duration according to the issues in
volved. Stoppages arising from disputes over
union organization and security were the
longest on the average (45 days). At the other
extreme were strikes over interunion and
intraunion matters which averaged 10 days
in length; nearly three-fifths of these were
settled in less than a week. Strikes over job
security matters and those resulting from
demands for general wage changes and/or
supplementary b e n e f i t s averaged 24 and
28 days, respectively. Disputes over plant
administration matters, nearly half of which
were resolved in 1 to 3 d a y s , averaged
13 days in length in 1965.
Whereas the distribution of the num
ber of work stoppages by major issues devi
ated little from the 1964 pattern, differences
did appear in the allocation of workers and
idleness among the various issues; the most
significant changes developed among disputes
over plant administration and job security
matters. Largely as a consequence of the
General Motors strike, plant administration
stoppages accounted for 36 percent of total
idleness in 1964; in 1965, such disputes led
to only 8 percent of the year's idleness
(table 5). On the other hand, job security
disputes accounted for 16 percent of total
idleness in 1965, compared with 6 percent in
the previous year.
Among the stoppages involving 1, 000
workers or more, a slightly smaller pro
portion (48.2 percent) than in 1964 (52.5 per
cent) occurred primarily over economic is
sues— wages and supplementary b e n e f i t s .
The percent distribution of issues in the 268
strikes beginning in 1965 and involving 1, 000
workers or more is shown in the tabulation
that follows:

Demands for general wage changes

stoppages. These disputes involved 46 per

and accounted for 54 percent of total idleness.

5
In each of five industry groups, strikes over
these issues resulted in more than 1 million
man-days of idleness— the greatest volume
(2.3 million man-days) occurred in the con
tract construction industry (table A -2).
The number of disputes over plant
administration matters declined slightly from
the previous year and involved not quite half
as many workers as in 1964. The General
Motors strike of 1964 accounted for the sig
nificantly higher workers' total in that year.
On an industry basis, two groups, contract
construction and mining, experienced more
than one-fourth of these disputes; in the latter
industry, these stoppages accounted for twofifths of the year's total.
Job security issues led to 5 percent
of all stoppages which began in 1965 and
accounted for approximately one-tenth of the
workers involved in those disputes; these
proportions were below the 1964 le v e ls.3
However, because this group included the
1964—65 longshoremen's strike as well as
three of the major strikes beginning in 1965,
idleness resulting from job security strikes
was more than twice as great as in the pre
vious year. More than two-fifths of the idle
ness resulting from strikes over these issues
occurred in the transportation and communi
cation industries group.
The number of disputes over union
organization and security matters was only
slightly higher than in 1964, but the worker
and idleness totals for such strikes were
significantly greater than in the previous
year. Three of the year's major stoppages
developed over such issues and contributed
greatly to the higher worker and idleness
totals. For the most part, however, strikes
over these issues were small in size; ap
proximately three-fourths of these disputes
involved fewer than 100 workers each. Stop
pages over these issues occurred with the
greatest frequency in the contract construc
tion and trade industries.
Strikes over interunion and intra
union matters increased in number for the
third consecutive year. These stoppages, the
large majority of which were jurisdictional
disputes, represented one-eighth of the year's
total, but accounted for only 5 and 2 percent,
respectively, of the worker and idleness
totals in 1965. Most strikes of this type are
small in size; nearly three-fourths of the
total involved fewer than 100 workers each.
The contract construction industry once again
accounted for more than four-fifths of these
strikes.
^ Since the longshoremen's strike began in October 1964,
the workers involved are included in the workers' total for 1964,
rather than for 1965.
Industries Affected
The increase in strike incidence in
1965 was concentrated among manufacturing
industries, which accounted for 2, 080 of the
year's stoppages, compared with 1, 794 in
1964 (table 6). Idleness resulting from manu
facturing strikes was, however, less than in
the previous year; on the other hand, the time
lost from nonmanufacturing stoppages rose to
its highest level since 1959. The number of
workers involved in strikes declined from
the 1964 level in both manufacturing and nonmanufacturing, but the greater decline oc
curred in the manufacturing sector.
Significant increases in i d l e n e s s
over 1964 levels were recorded in several
manufacturing industries, including the paper,
chemicals, leather, machinery, and stone,
clay, and glass products industries.
The
paper industry experienced its greatest re
corded level of idleness; more than one-fifth
of the time lost resulted from a 22-day major
stoppage at the International Paper Company.
Nearly a third of the idleness in the chem
icals industry was attributable to a 222-day
strike at the Wyandotte Chemical Company;
two-fifths of the time lost in the leather in
dustry resulted from a 3-month strike at
plants of the Acme Boot Company. An 11-day
major stoppage involving the Glass Container
Manufacturers Institute accounted for slightly
more than a third of the idleness in the stone,
clay, and glass products industry. The higher
level of time lost in the machinery industry
was largely attributable to a marked increase
in the number of strikes, several of which
were of long duration.
Though recording a marked decline
in idleness from the 1964 level, the trans
portation equipment industry nonetheless ex
perienced the highest volume of idleness
among manufacturing industries. The pre
vious year's idleness in this group had been
concentrated in the motor vehicles and parts
industry, but more than a third of the 1965
idleness occurred in the aircraft and parts
industry; another fourth accrued from strikes
at firms engaged in th e construction and
repair of ships. In the printing, rubber, and
fabricated metal products industries, strike
idleness declined slightly from 1964 levels,
but, as in the transportation equipment in
dustry, the lost time ratio in each case
remained substantially above the national
average.
Among nonmanufacturing industries,
substantial increases in idleness were re
corded in contract construction, transportation
and communication, and government.
The
construction industry sustained the greatest
volume of idleness recorded during 1965 (4.6
6
million man-days); two-fifths of the time lost
resulted from four major stoppages, the
shortest of which was of 24 days' duration.
Both the idleness from construction strikes
and the number of workers involved in these
disputes reached th e highest levels since
1958.
In the transportation and communi
cation industries, which experienced their
highest level of idleness since 1955, threefifths of the time lost was attributable to
seven major stoppages, the largest of which
was the longshoremen's strike. Government
employees experienced their highest recorded
level of strike idleness; a 28-day stoppage
by welfare workers in New York City ac
counted for three-fourths of the total idleness.
On the other hand, idleness in the
mining and trade industries declined markedly
from the prior year's level. In mining, the
number of strikes increased by more than
a fifth, but idleness was only slightly more
than half as great as in 1964. The number
of stoppages in wholesale and retail trade
was also higher than in 1964, but the level of
idleness was less than half as great as in
the previous year.
Stoppages by Location
Regions. Strike idleness in all but
two regions increased by one-fourth or more
over the prior year's level, with the greatest
increase (154 percent) occurring in the West
South Central States (table 7). On the other
hand, in the East North Central States, which
once again experienced the greatest regional
concentration of idleness, the time lost de
clined by 40 percent from the 1964 level; in
the South Atlantic region, a 15-percent decline
was recorded. T he heavily industrialized
East North Central and Middle Atlantic States
ranked first and second, respectively, in the
number of strikers, and together accounted
for slightly less than half of all the workers
participating in strikes in 1965.
States. New York, which was af
fected directly by nine of the major stoppages
in progress during the year, led all States
in strike idleness (2.9 million man-days) in
1965 (table 8). California ranked second (2.3
million man-days); slightly more than half of
the time lost in this State resulted from con
struction strikes.
Four other States each
experienced more than 1 million man-days
of idleness in 1965, but the time lost in three
of these States was less than that recorded
in 1964. In Pennsylvania, however, where
the time lost from strikes had been on the
decline for 5 consecutive years, idleness rose
to its highest level since 1961.
While experiencing less idleness than
those noted above, several States, including
Arizona, Louisiana, Nevada, and Washington,
nonetheless sustained a percentage loss in
total estimated working time which was sig
nificantly greater than the national average.
In Arizona, the high percent of working time
lost (0.78 percent) was attributable mainly to
the 76-day major strike in the construction
industry which accounted for nine-tenths of
the State's idleness. A lengthy construction
s t r i k e in Louisiana was responsible for
slightly more than half of the idleness in that
State, while two prolonged strikes in the
same industry accounted for a similar pro
portion of the total idleness in Nevada. Two
strikes in the transportation equipment in
dustry, which accounted for more than seventenths of the State's idleness, were respon
sible for the high percent of working time
lost in Washington.
New York and California, which led
all States in strike idleness, also ranked first
and second, respectively, in the number of
workers involved in stoppages. The number
of strikers in New York (186, 000) increased
by 17 percent over the previous year's level,
while in California, the 150, 000 workers rep
resented a 63-percent increase over the 1964
level. Construction strikes, which contributed
significantly to California's strike idleness,
accounted for approximately half of the work
ers participating in strikes in that State.
Other States with large numbers of strik
ers w e r e Pennsylvania (132,000), Illinois
(102, 000), Ohio (97, 000), and M i c h i g a n
(82, 000), but the number involved in all but
the first of these States was less than in 1964.
Thirteen S t a t e s experienced 100
stoppages or more each in 1965, with Penn
sylvania and New York ranking first and
second, respectively, in strike incidence.
Despite its high ranking, the number of stop
pages in New York (397) was at its lowest
level since 1945.
On the other hand, in
California, which ranked fourth in strike
incidence, the number of stoppages reached
its highest level since 1941. Among States
experiencing fewer than 100 stoppages each,
records were either established or equaled
in Georgia, Idaho, Iowa, Mississippi, Nevada,
and North Dakota. The lowest incidence of
strike activity occurred in the District of
Columbia, Alaska, South Dakota, Vermont,
and Wyoming, each of which experienced
10 or fewer stoppages in 1965.
Metropolitan Areas. In New York,
which sustained the g r e a t e s t i d l e n e s s
(1, 880, 000 man-days) of any metropolitan
area in 1965 (table 9), the idleness total was
nearly three times as great as the relatively
7
low level recorded in 1964. Seven of the
year's major stoppages directly affected the
New York area, and accounted for more than
half of its idleness. Ranking second in idle
ness was Los Angeles, where slightly more
than half of the idleness resulted from a
33-day major strike of operating engineers,
and another fifth from a 140-day stoppage at
the Harvey Aluminum Company.
A major strike accounted for twofifths or more of the idleness in 2 of the
8 other areas experiencing more than 500, 000
man-days of idleness in 1965. In the Albany
area, which sustained a significantly greater
volume of idleness than in recent years,
approximately seven-eighths of the total re
sulted from an 89-day construction strike.
The 19-day stoppage at the Boeing Company
accounted for 46 percent of the idleness in
the Seattle area. A lengthy strike in the
shipbuilding industry also accounted for a
substantial proportion of the idleness in
Seattle.
As would be expected, the metro
politan areas sustaining the greatest levels
of idleness were also those with the largest
number of strikers. Leading all areas was
New York, where 120, 000 workers w e r e
directly affected by new strikes. Each of
eight other areas had 30,000 workers or more
participating in strikes, but in none of these
did the total exceed 50, 000 strikers.
For the s i x t h consecutive year,
New York (247) and Philadelphia (133) ranked
first and second, respectively, in s t r i k e
incidence. Two o t h e r areas, Detroit and
San Francisco, also experienced 100 stop
pages or more each in 1965.
Monthly Trends
The relatively high level of strike
idleness which had characterized the closing
months of 1964 continued through the first
three quarters of 1965. Strikes during this
period accounted for 19.2 million man-days
of idleness, compared with 13.6 million during
the s a m e period in 1964 (table 3). After
reaching its peak in July (3.7 million mandays), strike idleness declined continuously
in each successive month of 1965.
The 702 stoppages in effect during
July represented not only the highest monthly
level for the year, but also the largest num
ber in effect in any month since June 1959.
New strikes reached their peak (450) in May;
this total was also the highest since June
1959. Both measures declined continuously
from their respective peaks in each of the
succeeding months of the year.
As n o t e d earlier, the number of
strikes involving 1,000 workers or more (268)
reached its highest level since 1958. Nearly
two-thirds of these stoppages, including 15 of
the major strikes, began during the second
and third quarters of the year. Of the large
stoppages beginning in 1965, only five con
tinued into 1966. However, a major strike
by transit workers in New York City was
only a few hours from reality as the year
ended. The tabulation that follows presents
for 1963—65 the monthly distribution of new
strikes involving 1, 000 workers or more.

Unions Involved
Unions affiliated with the AFL—CIO
participated in nearly four-fifths of the strikes
beginning in 1965, and accounted for slightly
higher proportions of the year's worker and
idleness totals (table 10). Strikes involving
unaffiliated unions, which accounted for al
most a fifth of the year's total, occurred
with greatest frequency in the mining, trade,
and trucking industries. Strikes involving
only nonunion workers accounted for 1 percent
of the year's stoppages.
Mediati on
Government mediators assisted in
the termination of 1 out of every 2 strikes
ending during 1965 (table 15). One percent
of the year's strikes were terminated solely
with the assistance of private mediators,
while no mediation was reported in the re
maining 49 percent of those strikes ending
during the year. Stoppages settled with the
assistance of government mediators were
generally larger in size and/or longer in
duration than those settled without a third
party, as is evidenced by the fact that strikes
in the former category involved nearly threefourths of all workers and accounted for
nine-tenths of total idleness.
8
Renegotiation of agreement strikes
were once again those in which mediative
assistance was most often utilized. Govern
ment mediation was reported in 84 percent
of these strikes ending in 1965, compared
with 82 percent in each of the 2 previous
y ea rs.4 At the other extreme, government
mediators were present in only 9 percent of
the strikes arising during the term of an
agreement, a slightly smaller proportion than
in recent years.
As in 1964, mediative
assistance was provided in nearly half of the
stoppages occurring during efforts to estab
lish a collective bargaining relationship.
Settlement
In 9 1 percent of the stoppages ending
in 1965, the parties either reached a formal
settlement or agreed on a procedure for re
solving their differences (table 16). Another
8 percent of the year's strikes were term i
nated without a formal settlement, as em
ployers resumed operations either with new
employees or with returning strikers. Less
than 1 percent of the stoppages ended with
the employer's decision to discontinue opera
tions; all but eight of these strikes involved
fewer than 100 workers each.
Settlements are reached with greater
frequency in situations where a collective
bargaining relationship is already in existence
than in those where such a relationship is in
the process of being established. A settlement
was reached in 1965 in 96 and 95 percent,
4 Renegotiation strikes terminated in 1965 without m edi
ative assistance were generally small in size; 70 percent involved
fewer than 100 workers each.
Stoppages
respectively, of those stoppages a r i s i n g
during contract renegotiations or during the
life of an agreement. On the other hand,
a settlement terminated only 74 percent of
those strikes which occurred during either
the union's quest for recognition or its effort
to negotiate an initial agreement.
Procedure for Handling Unsettled Issues
In many instances, strikes are ter
minated with the understanding that certain
unsettled issues will be resolved following the
resumption of normal operations. Information
was available on the manner in which such
issues would be resolved in 566 strikes end
ing in 1965 (table 17). The parties agreed
to continue negotiations in a fifth of these
situations, and to submit the dispute to arbi
tration in another sixth of these cases. In
7 percent of these strikes, the issues were
to be referred to a government agency.
Various other devices were to be utilized to
resolve outstanding issues in slightly more
than half of these cases.
Of the 99 strikes which ended with
the decision to arbitrate unresolved issues,
55 occurred during the term of an agreement.
This device was also chosen in 27 renego
tiation strikes, and in 16 stoppages which
occurred during efforts to establish a collec
tive bargaining relationship.
The issues most often remaining to
be settled following the return to work related
to interunion matters, as shown in the follow
ing tabulation. In the larger strikes, however,
the unsettled issues generally involved union
organization and working conditions.

1 The number of stoppages and workers relate to those stoppages beginning in the year; average duration, to those ending
in the year.
Man-days of idleness include all stoppages in effect.
Available information for earlier periods appears in Handbook of Labor Statistics, BLS Bulletin 1016 (1951), table E -2 .
For a discussion of the procedures involved in the collection and compilation of work stoppage statistics, see BLS Handbook of
Methods for Surveys and Studies, BLS Bulletin 1458 (1966), ch. 19.
Bulletin 1458 contains a revision of ch. 12 in Techniques
of Preparing Major BLS Statistical S e rie s, BLS Bulletin 1168 (1955).
2 In these tables, workers are counted m ore than once if they were involved in m ore than 1 stoppage during the year.
3 Figures are simple averages; each stoppage is given equal weight regardless of its size.

Some metropolitan areas include counties in more than 1 State, and hence, an area total may equal or exceed the total

Stoppages in the mining and logging industries are excluded.
Intermetropolitan area stoppages are counted separately in each area affected; the workers involved and m an-days idle

Appendix B. Scope, Methods, and Definitions1
Work Stoppage Statistics
The Bureau's statistics are intended to 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 employer's
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 "strik e" and "work stoppage" are used interchangeably in this bulletin.
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 stop
page. *2 They do not measure secondary idleness— that is, the effects of a stoppage on 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 three different occasions; they
accounted 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 occupations 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 in
cluded 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
establishments, exclusive of government, have
basis of nonagricultural employment (exclusive
than one-tenth of a percentage point from that
of total employment in nonagricultural
been used. Idleness computed on the
of government) usually differs by less
obtained by the former method, while
More detailed information is available in BLS Handbook o f Methods for Surveys and Studies, BLS Bulletin 1458 (1966), ch. 19.
This bulletin contains a revision o f ch. 12 in Techniques o f Preparing M ajor BLS Statistical Series, BLS Bulletin 1168, (1955).
2 Aggregate figures on workers and strike idleness are rounded to three significant digits. Figures to the right o f the third
significant digit appear as zeros; the last digit is always rounded to zero. To illustrate: an unrounded figure o f 5 ,0 1 4 ,0 0 0 man-days
would appear as 5,0 1 0 ,0 0 0 ; an unrounded total o f 26,457 would be presented as 26,500; and a figure o f 493 workers would appear
as 490.
Totals and percentages, however, are computed from unrounded figures.
43
44
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 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.
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. 3 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 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 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 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
nonunion workers.
Sources 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 "census" of all strikes involving six workers or more 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.
The same procedure is follow ed in allocating data on stoppages occurring in more than one industry, industry group, or
metropolitan area.

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 m id -1950, a new source of strike "lead s"'w as 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 e s
tablish cooperative arrangements with them.
