For the October 1968 to October 1969 period, international telegraph carrier employees ad vanced 1.8 percent to 5,522, whereas Western Union’s total work force, including messengers, dropped 5.2 per cent to 24,780. S um m ary Employees o f the Nation’s principal communications carriers had average pay rates1 o f $3.62 an hour in late 1969, up 4.3 percent from a year earlier. The increase was below the 6.8 percent rise in 1967-68, but exceeded the 4.0 percent annual rate of increase since 1960. The number o f communications2 workers (excluding officials and managerial assistants) rose 8.0 percent during the 1968-69 period to 820,000—the highest level since the Bureau o f Labor Statistics began its series o f annual stud ies on wages o f telephone and telegraph workers in 1947. The 8-percent increase, largest annual rise since the years immediately following World War II, was almost entirely the result of employment gains among telephone carriers. T e l e p h o n e C a r r ie r s E m p lo y m en t and pay rates in D e cem b er 19 6 9 . Basic wage rates o f the 790,088 telephone carrier employees studied4 averaged $3.62 an hour in December 1969, but individual rates were widely dispersed. (See table 1.) In the array o f rates, the middle half o f the workers earned from $2.49 to $4.44 an hour. This dispersion of indi vidual pay rates largely reflects the wide range o f worker skills required by the industry, differences in pay by carrier and locality, and the extensive use o f rate-ranges for specific occupations. In many instances, the maxi mum rate exceeded the minimum rate for a given job and locality by as much as 70 percent. The spread be tween minimum and maximum rates was usually greater for craft occupations than for clerical jobs and telephone operators. Telephone-carrier employees, 96 percent o f the workers covered by the study, averaged $3.62 an hour in December 1969. Average hourly pay rates for Western Union’s nonmessenger employees and employees of international telegraph carriers were $3.60 and $4.36, respectively, in October 1969. Since the 1968 study,3 average wage rates rose 4.0 percent for telephone carrier employees, 6.8 percent for nonmessenger employees o f Western Union, and 6.1 percent for employees o f inter national telegraph carriers. Wages and working conditions for a large majority o f telephone carrier employees are determined under pro visions o f collective bargaining agreements, mostly with the Communications Workers o f America (CWA). Many carriers have separate agreements for individual depart ments and, in some cases, for different areas. The New York Telephone Co., for example, has separate agree ments for its plant, traffic, and commercial departments in the New York City area, and three other agreements for these departments in the rest o f the State. The number of telephone carrier employees increased 8.5 percent to 790,088 between December 1968 and 1A s e x p l a i n e d in th e a p p e n d ix , p a y d a ta w e r e c o m p u t e d b y d iv id in g s c h e d u le d w e e k ly c o m p e n s a t io n b y s c h e d u le d w e e k ly h o u r s . “ S c h e d u le d w e e k l y c o m p e n s a t i o n ” f o r t e l e p h o n e c a r r ie r s , as d e fin e d b y th e F e d e r a l C o m m u n ic a tio n s C o m m is s io n (F C C ), in c lu d e s t h e b a s ic w e e k ly p a y r a te p lu s a n y r e g u la r ly s c h e d u le d s u p p le m e n t a r y c o m p e n s a t io n s u c h a s d iff e r e n t ia ls f o r e v e n in g The industry employs workers in a wide variety o f activities, ranging from custodial help to professional and executive positions, to provide telephone service to the Nation.

Women, 56 percent o f the employees in tele phone carriers covered by the study, accounted for vir tually all telephone operators, over nine-tenths o f the clerical employees, and seven-tenths o f the business tabulation, in which average pay rates in Bell carriers equal 100, average hourly pay rates in non-Bell carriers ranged from 81 to 96 percent o f corresponding rates in Bell Companies; because o f longer average scheduled office and sales employees. In contrast, men made up almost all o f the construction, installation, and mainte nance workers, and three-fourths o f the professional and semiprofessional employees. Average hourly rates for numerically important occupational categories were workweeks, weekly pay rates o f non-Bell clerical workers and switchboard operators were closer to Bell averages; scheduled workweeks for craft job s averaged about the same in both carrier groups: $2.55 for experienced switchboard operators, $2.79 for nonsupervisory clerical employees, $3.62 for PBX and station installers,5 $3.77 for central office repairmen and cable splicers, and $3.96 for exchange repairmen.

Men constituted 33 percent o f the employment in 1947 compared with Bell System companies em ployed 95 percent o f the workers in the study and at least 90 percent o f those in each region. Bell System companies usually covered an entire State or group o f States and were generally larger than other companies. Fourteen o f the 25 Bell carriers employed at least 25,000 workers and the two largest each employed about 92,000. By contrast, the largest o f the 28 non-Bell companies studied had only 5,700 em ployees and half had employments o f less than 500. Average pay levels for occupational groups studied separately were nearly always higher for Bell than for non-Bell carriers. (See tables 2 and 3). In the numerically 44 percent in 1969. As indicated in text table 1, propor tions of workers in major occupational categories changed more during the 1947-62 period than in the 1962-69 period. The average hourly rate o f $3.62 in December 1969 for all employees, except officials and managerial assist ants, was 4.0 percent higher than the average o f $3.48 in December 1968 and 187 percent greater than the $1.26 average recorded in the 1947 study. An estimated 38 cents o f the $2.36 increase during the 1947-69 period, however, is due to the changes in the occupational com position o f the work force.5 The following tabulation 5 Weighting occupational averages for December 1969 by ocupational employment for October 1947 results in an average of $3.24 instead of $3.62. 81 90 85 85 96 1947 has been generally upward, except for declines registered from 1957 to 1962. During the 1957-62 period, the drop in employment levels from 681,600 to 596,300 was largely the result o f decreases in the num ber o f telephone operators as new and improved equip ment was installed. Employment gains since 1962 have been reflected in nearly all major employment categories including telephone operators. 104 108 106 96 89 790,088.

(exclusive o f 321 officials and managerial assistants) averaged $3.60 an hour in straight-time pay in October 1969. (See table 5.) The 1,543 m otor messen gers averaged $2.54 and the 1,168 walking and bicycle messengers, $1.67. Between October 1968 and October 1969, average rates o f pay rose 6.8 percent for non messenger employees, 5.0 percent for m otor messengers, and 2.5 percent for walking and bicycle messengers. 6 Data for Bell System and non-Bell companies as reported to FCC in prior years are not comparable with those reported since 1951. (For more information on employment and earnings trends in Bell System carriers from 1945 to 1965, see “ Employ ment and Wage Trends in Bell System Companies,” Monthly Labor Review, March 1967, pp. 38-41). In December 1969, employees o f Bell System carriers averaged $3.65 an hour, 3.7 percent over the previous year. Employees o f other companies averaged $2.97, a $5.50 to $6 a week for plant craftsmen and $3.50 to $4 for telephone operators and clerical employees in both 4 These increases were largely due to general wage adjust walking and bicycle messengers many o f whom were ments effective June 1, 1969, as provided by 3-year collective bargaining agreements negotiated in June 1968. employed part time. Individual hourly rates o f the highest-paid workers exceeded those o f the lowest-paid by $2 an hour or Wage rates for Western Union negotiable employees are determined by collective bargaining agreements with the United Telegraph Workers (UTW) in all cities except New Y ork, where the agreements are with the Communi cations Workers o f America (CWA). Effective June 1, 1969, all employees (except walking and bicycle messen gers) in the UTW bargaining unit received wage increases o f 5 percent, while such employees in the CWA bargain more in most o f the nonmessenger occupational cate gories presented in table 5. In a few cases, however, large proportions o f workers in the same occupation were concentrated within comparatively narrow ranges. Almost three-fifths o f the subscribers’ equipment main tainers, for example, were paid between $4 and $4.25 an hour, and about one-half o f the experienced (nonMorse) telegraph operators in the traffic department re ing unit received 4.75 percent; walking and bicycle mes sengers with 24 months of progression credit were granted ceived from $3 to $3.25. All walking and bicycle messen gers had wage rates within a range o f $ 1.60 and $ 1.80 an hour. a 6-cents-an-hour increase. Additional increases were pro vided to some workers to correct wage inequities for certain jo b classifications The 6.8-percent increase in average pay rates for non Established wage-rate ranges are provided for all job classifications covered by UTW and CWA agreements. Advancements through the several progression steps are automatic after specified periods o f service for employees meeting requirements for the jo b . Differences between the starting and the maximum rates for some occupations amount to 75 cents an hour or more. In UTW contracts, rate ranges for most jo b classifications varied by locality, according to revenue or message load. Nationwide rates, however, applied to walking and bicycle messengers. Fifty-five percent o f the com pany’s nonmessenger employees were men, who were concentrated in different occupational categories than wom en. Most professional and semiprofessional employees, sales personnel, and construction, installation, and maintenance workers were men. Women, on the other hand, were the majority in categories such as office clerical employees, experienced telegraph operators (except Morse), telegraph traffic managers, and chief operators, Average hourly rates o f pay for numerically important occupational categories largely staffed by men were $3.80 for linemen and cablemen, $4 for subscribers’ equipment maintainers, and $4.05 for traffic testing and regulating employees. Tele phone operators (92 percent wom en) and experienced non-Morse telegraph operators (77 percent wom en) both averaged $2.73 an hour. Nonsupervisory clerical workers (75 percent wom en) averaged $3.11. considerably exceeded the 4.7 rise recorded for a year earlier, and was the largest annual increase for these workers since 1957-58 when an 8.1-percent increase was registered. Percent increases in pay rates between 1968 and 1969 varied among the occupational categories studied: A bout 7 percent for clerical employees; 6 per cent for telegraph operators and for construction, installation, and maintenance workers; and 2 percent for professional and semiprofessional employees. Average pay rates o f m otor messengers rose 5 percent and o f walking and bicycle messengers, 2.5 percent. Changes in average pay rates reflect not only general wage changes but also differences in the distributions o f workers over rate ranges that apply to most occupa tions. During periods o f increased hiring, for example, average rates may be affected by a disproportionate number o f workers paid at the minimum rate for a given jo b . Total employment (exclusive o f officials and mana gerial assistants) in October 1969 decreased b y 1,351 workers or 5.2 percent below the level o f a year earlier. All major occupational categories declined except pro fessionals and semiprofessionals whose employm ent in creased 9 percent and sales personnel, whose em ploy ment increased 2 percent. The largest decline, 32 percent, occurred among walking and bicycle messengers. The number o f m otor messengers (1,543) exceeded the num ber o f walking and bicycle messengers (1,168) for the first time since the Bureau’ s annual studies began in 1947. Western Union employed about 2,700 messengers, nearly all male, who made up 11 percent o f the com pany’ s work force in October 1969. M otor messengers averaged $2.54 an hour and walking and bicycle messen The com pany’ s total employment has decreased from 53,107 in 1947 to 24,780 in 1969.

Average hourly rates o f pay for numerically important jobs included $4.46 for mechanics and main tenance technicians; $3.88 for teletype-multiplex operators; and $3.59 for cable operators. The study included carriers engaged in nonvocal international telegraph communications either by radio or by ocean cable. Although many o f the occupational categories studied are com m on to both operations, some are exclusive to one carrier group. For example, radio operators and radio telegraph riggers were reported only by radio telegraph carriers; cable operators, on the other hand, were employed only in ocean cable operations. 1 Excludes officials and managerial assistants.

Scope and Method of Survey Data presented in this study are based on annual reports filed with the Federal Communications Commis sion by communication carriers, as required by the amended Communications Act o f 1934. All carriers en gaged in interstate or foreign communications service by means o f their own facilities or through connection with the facilities of another carrier under direct or in direct common control are subject to the full jurisdiction o f the Commission. A large number o f telephone carriers engaged in interstate or foreign service only by connec tion with the facilities o f another unaffiliated carrier are not subject to the full jurisdiction o f the Commission and are not required to file annual reports o f hours and earnings o f employees. H o u rs a n d ra tes Average hourly rates presented in this bulletin were computed by dividing total “ scheduled weekly compen sation” by total “ scheduled weekly hours.” Average scheduled weekly hours were obtained by dividing the total scheduled weekly hours by the number o f em ployees. The terms “ scheduled weekly hours” and “ scheduled weekly compensation” for the three carrier groups covered by the study are defined, according to the FCC’s R u les and R egulations, as follows: Telephone Carriers Tabulations for telephone carriers relate to those having annual operating revenues in excess o f $1 million, and subject to the full jurisdiction o f the FCC. Included are 25 Bell System companies and 28 companies not affiliated with the Bell System. 5 1 .1 2 (b ). ber “ S c h e d u le d d u ty to u r s w h ic h d u r in g th e or ex cu sed not w eek absen ce, o r Tabulations for wire-telegraph and international tele graph carriers were confined to companies with annual revenues exceeding $50,000 and engaged in interstate or foreign commerce.
