Preface

This is the eighth in a series of bulletins presenting a
wide array of data on major collective bargaining agree­
ments, classified by identifying characteristics and
substantive provisions, in all manufacturing and non­
manufacturing industries exclusive of airlines, rail­
roads, and government. Unlike previous reports, which
employed the 1967 Standard Industrial Classification
(SIC) scheme, this issue conforms to the 1972 SIC edi­
tion.
As in the seven earlier bulletins, the study is limited
solely to noting the prevalence of provisions, without
providing analytical comments or illustrative clauses.
These will be found in the in-depth studies of collective
bargaining agreements presented in the Bureau’s Bulle­




tin 1425 series, Major Collective Bargaining Agree­
ments.
This bulletin was prepared by members of the staff of
the Bureau’s Division of Industrial Relations under the
direction of Michael H. Cimini, Project Director. Com­
puter programming and tabulation of data were devel­
oped by Wayne D. Peterson under the direction of
Eugene A. Owens, Office of Statistical Operations.

Introduction

This bulletin, covering agreements involving 1,000
workers or more, provides statistical data on the
prevalence of over 100 different collective bargaining
provisions, primarily by industry. For this study, the
Bureau analyzed 1,536 agreements in its file which were
in effect on or after January 1, 1978, with a total
coverage of 7.1 million workers.1 These agreements
represent over four-fifths of all private sector contracts
of this size on file with the Bureau.
As in all agreement studies, the Bureau must caution
the reader that the data reflect the Bureau’s understand­
ing of the written provisions and not necessarily that of
the parties. Contract language is complicated and
elusive, and often is submitted to arbitration for inter­
pretation. Furthermore, what is carried out in practice
may differ at times from written provisions. Under
these circumstances, the Bureau can only analyze the
specific language of the agreement in the hope that it
closely reflects the rules under which the parties operate.
As a service to users, computer listing printouts can
be obtained identifying collective bargaining agreements
which have specific provisions appearing in this bulle­

tin. The cost of the printouts will be determined by the
amount of computer use that is involved. Inquiries
should be directed to Project Director, Collective
Bargaining Studies, Division of Industrial Relations,
Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor,
Washington, D.C. 20212 (Area Code 202-523-1320).
In addition, visitors are welcome to use our contract
files at 441 G Street, N.W., Washington, D.C., Room
4062, to obtain copies of the agreements on file at cost.
The tables which follow are grouped to help users
find specific information, along with related data. Part
I sets forth identifying characteristics of the 1,536
agreements in the study. Part II deals with union secur­
ity, management rights, and other noneconomic mat­
ters; part III covers wages and related provisions. Part
IV tabulates hours, overtime, and premium pay provi­
sions; part V shows paid and unpaid leave. Part VI
covers seniority and related provisions; part VII gives
job security issues; and part VIII covers dispute settle­
ment provisions.
In all tables the number of workers is rounded to the
nearest 50. A dash indicates that no agreement was
recorded in the category.
An alphabetical finder’s index for contract provisions
follows the tables.

1 Contracts expiring Dec. 30-31,1977, were considered in effect as o f
January 1, 1978.
