Preface
This is the seventh in a series o f bulletins presenting a wide array o f data on major
collective bargaining agreements, classified by identifying characteristics and substantive
provisions. As in the six previous bulletins, this study covers all manufacturing and
nonmanufacturing industries, exclusive o f airlines, railroads, and government, and is
limited solely to noting the prevalence o f provisions, without providing analytical
comments or illustrative clauses. In-depth studies o f collective bargaining agreements are
presented in the Bureau’s traditional 1425 series, M ajor Collective Bargaining Agreements.
All agreements in this study were in effect on or after July 1, 1976.
This bulletin was prepared by members o f the staff o f the Bureau’s Division o f Indus­
trial Relations under the direction o f Winston L. Tillery, Project Director. Computer
programming and tabulation o f data were developed by Robert J. Thompson under the
direction o f Eugene A. Owens, Office o f Survey Management.

1 Graduated vacation plans increase
the weeks of vacation with the workers'
length of service.
2 Uniform vacation plans provide all
w orkers with vacations of the same length.
3 Ratio-to-w ork plans relate the length
of vacation to the number of hours or days
that an employee works during a given time
period, usually the year preceding the a l­
location of vacation.
4 Funded plans require em ployers to

contribute to a fund from which workers
subsequently draw vacation pay. The jointly
or unilaterally administered plans are found
most often in industries such as construction
and apparel, where employees may work
fo r more than 1 em ployer during the year.
5
Includes 1 agreement with vacations
subject to local negotiation, 6 that re fer to
vacations but give no details, 3 that vary
vacations by occupation, and 2 others.
