Excludes data for motor vehicle parts plants oper­
ated by passenger car manufacturers which are included in
the motor vehicle segment of the study.
See appendix A
for scope and method of study.
Wage data reported in
Pt. II of the study exclude premium pay for overtime and
for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts.
The term "motor vehicle parts and accessories"
used in this context is limited to establishments classified
in industry 3714, according to the 1967 Standard Industrial
Classification Manual, prepared by the U.S. Bureau of the
Budget, except those operated by automobile manufacturers.
It does not include plants manufacturing other types of
motor vehicle parts which are included in the full survey
of "motor vehicle parts," but classified in other industries.
See appendix A for definition of industry branches studied
separately.
11
Plants with fewer than 50 workers at the time of re­
ference of the universe data were excluded from the survey.
