For sale by the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington 25, D.C. 11 - Price 30 cents Preface For the four studies brought together in this bulletin, virtually all agreements in the United States covering 1,000 or more workers, exclusive of railroad and airline agreements, were analyzed. The 1,687 agreements in this category covered approximately 7.5 million workers, or almost half of the estimated total agreement coverage in the United States, outside of the railroad and airline industries. All agreements studied were part of the Bureau’ s file of current agreements maintained for public and governmental use under the provisions of the Labor Management Relations Act, 1947. The provisions of agreements covering 1,000 or more workers do not necessarily reflect policy in smaller collective bargaining situations or in nonunion establishments. These studies were undertaken in the Bureau’ s Division of Wages and Industrial Relations under the supervision of Harry P. Cohany. The re port on rest periods was prepared by DenaG. Weiss and Ernestine M. Moore; on washup, cleanup, and clothes change by Dena G. Weiss and Theessa L. Ellis; on safety equipment and work clothing by DenaG. Weiss and Laura A. Wood; and on military service allowances by Dena G. Weiss.

In about two-thirds of the agreements providing for rest periods, such allowances— often called “relief periods,” “coffee breaks,” or “smok ing time”— applied to all employees; in the re maining agreements, coverage was limited to special groups of workers, primarily women. Generally, two rest periods daily were specified. The prevalence of formal rest period provisions has remained virtually unchanged since 1953, the date of the Bureau of Labor Statistics previous study, when such provisions were found in about 23 percent of the contracts analyzed.1 It seems reasonable to assume that the practice of provid ing formal rest periods is more common than the above figures would indicate. The matter of rest periods may be covered either by plant rules re ferred to in the agreement but which are not defined or spelled out in detail,2 or may be gov erned by longstanding company policy. Legally required rest periods applicable to women workers, may also lessen the need for specific contract provisions.3 This study is based on an analysis of 1,687 col lective bargaining agreements on file in the Bureau of Labor Statistics, each covering 1,000 or more employees, or virtually all agreements of this size in the United States, exclusive of railroads and airlines.4 The 7.5 million workers covered by these agreements represented somewhat less than half of all workers estimated to be under agree ment in the United States, exclusive of railroad and airline agreements. Of the agreements studied, 1,063, covering over 4.5 million workers, were in manufacturing, and 624 agreements, with slightly more than 2.9 million workers, were in nonmanu facturing industries. All of the agreements were in effect in 1959; half were scheduled to expire during that year. Prevalence of Provisions A fourth (25.6 percent) of the 1,687 agreements analyzed provided paid time for short periods away from the job for purposes of rest or relaxa tion (table 1). These agreements covered less than a fourth (22.5 percent) of all workers in the study, but not all workers under these agreements were eligible for rest periods. Provisions for rest periods were not specified in any of the major agreements in the apparel indus try and were rarely included in the following manufacturing industries: tobacco, printing, pe troleum refining, leather, and primary metals. Low representation was also noted in the non manufacturing industries of mining, transporta tion, electric and gas utilities, and construction. Among the industries in which paid rest period provisions were most prevalent were food products, electrical machinery, transportation equipment, communications, and retail trade. In about two-thirds (288) of the agreements with provisions on the subject, all employees in the bargaining unit were uniformly entitled to rest periods. In 102 agreements, rest periods were limited to special groups, generally women, 1 See Paid Rest Period Provisions in Union Agreements, 1952-53 (in Monthly Labor Review, May 1954, pp. 531-535), or BLS Bull. 1166 (1954) „ pp. 18-22. * For example, rest periods are rarely specified in steel industry agreements, but according to reports published during the 1959 strike, provision for them may be encompassed within “ local working conditions.” * The following 12 States have laws relating to rest periods for women workers, most of which provide for a 10-minute rest period within each half of the day: Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Kentucky, Nevada, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming. A Agreements for the railroad and airline industries are not collected by the Bureau and, therefore, are not included in this study. 2 T a b l e 1.

The following clauses illustrate such limitations: Women employees of the company shall receive a rest period of 10 minutes each half day, during which they shall be free to leave their work places. In 43 agreements, the employee coverage was not clear; the provision usually stated that present practices were to be continued. A few stipulated that rest periods were to be negotiated at the local plants or that “ reasonable” or “ adequate” rest periods were to be allowed or granted “ when practical.” * * * . . . there shall be no interruption of production for smoking or lunch, except that employees working in restricted areas shall be allowed a 5-minute smoking period each half shift. . . . * * * All employees on continuous operations are to receive, individually, a rest period of 10 minutes before and after lunch. * * * Under exceptional conditions of hazardous or fatiguing work, reasonable provision will be made for rest periods for employees engaged in such work. Duration Although the total duration of rest periods ranged from 5 to 90 minutes per day, 157 of the 339 agreements with maximum time limits granted 20 minutes (table 2). The next largest number of agreements (91) provided for a daily total of 30 minutes.

In nine retail trade agreements, a 20-minute allowance was permitted all employees except those in de partments where the “ established practice was 15.” One agreement in the food industry pro vided “ two 10-minute break periods in all depart ments except women on ovens who are allowed three 15-minute breaks.” Another contract in that industry provided for two 10-minute rest periods except “ continuous enrober belt and candy-packing belt operators who receive the equivalent of a 5-minute rest period each 40 minutes of work.” The length of the rest period was not indicated in slightly more than a fifth of the agreements. 5.4 7.6 2 22.4 1 9 1.0 16.6 1 4.0 All industries.

Employees will be allowed two rest periods in accordance with written agreements to be negotiated' on a local basis. Number, Timing, and Scheduling Most commonly, the agreements specified two rest periods of 10 or 15 minutes daily, one in each half of the shift (tables 3 and 4). Where a single break per day was specified, it was usually to be taken during the first half shift.

Such a method of sched uling was set forth in an agreement which granted a maximum of three rest periods to specific groups of workers: Rest periods shall be taken so as to not interfere with production or continuous operation of work groups, and shall be limited to one 10-minute rest period per full shift, which shall be taken at designated times or as otherwise scheduled by supervision. However, for dayworkers in the cutting, finishing, re winder and roll, box shop, and storehouse and loading departments only, working regular dayworker schedules (7:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon and 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.) on repetitive operating jobs in the above departments, the company will recognize not more than 3 such 10-minute rest periods per full shift. In 40 agreements, a rest period was scheduled after 2 hours had been worked. In virtually all of these agreements, two rest periods per day were specified. Under the terms of 18 agreements, such breaks were scheduled within specified periods after the start and/or before the end of the shift: All employees, shift and day workers, will receive smok ing, rest, or lunch periods in accordance with the following schedule. . . . Shift workers, 1st shift—7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.: 1st rest period—10 minutes (between 9:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m.) 2 d rest period—10 minutes (between 12:00 noon and 1:00 p.m.) * * * Except as otherwise specified . . . an employee shall be assigned one 15-minute relief in each session not less than 45 minutes from the start or end of the session. Although 45 agreements referred only in general to the method of scheduling, such as rest periods at “ any time” or “ in the same manner and under the same circumstances as before,” 233 contracts, covering nearly 800,000 workers, made no reference whatsoever to this matter. Included in this group were 67 agreements which also failed to specify the number and timing of rest periods. Such breaks, it would appear, can be handled informally and may not require the degree of detail found in other collective bargaining areas. The lack of scheduling provisions was most com mon in the following industries: food, textile mill products, stone, clay, and glass, machinery, trans portation equipment, instruments and related products, primary metals, and retail trade. Where two rest periods were provided, they were usually of equal length (table 4). In the few cases where they were of unequal duration, the longer period occurred in the morning. Two rest periods shall be allowed without deduction of pay at regular times in each shift to be mutually agreed upon by the employer and the union; a.m., 15 minutes; p.m., 10 minutes. Other Regulations Rest period regulations other than those govern ing timing, duration, or scheduling were infre quently incorporated in the agreements. Thus, provisions for disciplinary action or revocation of rest period privileges in case of abuse were found in 26 agreements, and rules requiring employees to remain on the premises or to go to special areas were found in 39 agreements. In addition to time mentioned above [10 minutes], an allowance will be given for travel time from the work area to an approved smoking area and return, this time not to exceed 5 minutes for each smoking period. . . . This privilege, if abused, may be withdrawn at any time after such abuse has been called to the attention of the union and has not been satisfactorily corrected. * * * Em ployees are granted the privilege o f eating a sand wich, drinking milk or other soft drink, or taking a smoke (in place provided) during working hours, bu t it is agreed that this privilege shall not be abused. If it is determined b y mutual agreement between management and the union that this privilege is being abused, it shall be withdrawn either from the individual, department, or entire group. * * * A warning bell shall be sounded 1 minute prior to the expiration of each rest period and employees shall be at their places of work on the expiration of said rest periods. The provisions for rest periods as herein set out are agreed to by the company upon the understanding that the employees assume responsibility for return to their places of work by the expiration of the specified rest period, and if such privilege is abused by the employees to such extent that the same cannot be enforced by individual discipline, the company will call the matter to the attention of the Labor Relations Board [a joint labor-management grievance committee] in writing, and if such abuses con tinue 5 working days after such board has received such notice, the company may discontinue rest periods for any shift or department for such time as the company may deem proper. 9 Paid Time for Washup, Cleanup, and Clothes Change in 1959 T h e p r e v a l e n c e of pay for washup, cleanup, or clothes-changing time dining regular working hours has remained relatively unchanged since 1953. A recent Bureau of Labor Statistics study of 1,687 major collective bargaining agreements in effect in 1959 revealed that only about 17 percent, the same proportion as found in an earlier study,1 contained specific provisions for paid time for washing up, changing clothes, cleaning up the machine or workplace, or related activities in volved in leaving the job for lunch or for the day. Many of these provisions applied only to employ ees in designated occupations or departments, not to all employees in the bargaining unit. These cleanup activities are essentially jobrelated functions. The absence of an agreement provision may mean that the worker is expected to perform these functions on his own time. However, it is reasonable to assume that informal arrangements are widespread and that, in this area, the prevalence of agreement provisions is not an accurate measure of the extent of the practice. Washup time and clothes-change time are selfexplanatory terms. Cleanup time, for purposes of this study, was defined to cover preparatory and cleanup activities involving the workplace at the beginning or end of the workday, such as checking out and returning tools to the tool crib, arranging the work area, and making out reports required by management. * For data on paid time for washup, cleanup, and clothes change in union agreements in 1953, see Paid Time for Washup, Cleanup, and Clothes Change, 1952-53 (in Monthly Labor Review, April 1954, pp. 420-423), or BLS Bull. 1166,1954, pp. 14-17. * The Bureau does not maintain a file of railroad and airline agreements; hence their omission from this study. Scope of Study This study was based on 1,687 collective bar gaining agreements, each covering 1,000 or more workers, or virtually all agreements of this size in the United States, exclusive of railroads and airlines.2 The approximately 7.5 million workers covered by these major agreements account for slightly less than half of all workers estimated to be covered by all collective bargaining agreements in the United States, exclusive of railroads and airlines. Of the agreements studied, 1,063 cov ered 4.5 million workers in manufacturing estab lishments and 624 applied to 2.9 million workers in nonmanufacturing establishments. All of the agreements were in effect at the beginning of 1959, and slightly less than half (823) expired during that year. Prevalence of Agreement Provisions Provisions relating to paid time for personal washup, changing of clothes, and machine or workplace cleanup, or for a combination of these activities, were found in 278 agreements, covering 865,000 workers, or 17 percent of the major agree ments analyzed (table 1). Such provisions were contained in about one-fifth of the contracts in manufacturing and about one-tenth in nonmanu facturing industries, and were relatively most prev alent in food, petroleum, chemicals, transportation equipment, ordnance, and machinery. In none of these industries, however, did the incidence of such provisions exceed half of the major, agree ments studied. A single work activity only was covered in 200 agreements. Two types of activity were covered in 72 contracts; more than half of these were in food, transportation equipment, and construction industries. All three activities were mentioned in only six agreements. 10 T a b l e 1.

Details for the remaining 4 agreements were to be negotiated at the local level. N ote: Because of rounding, sums of individual items may not equal totals. Paid Washup Time . Of the 278 agreements with provisions for paid washup, cleanup, and clothes change, 112 allowed paid washup periods only. However, washup time was also referred to in 60 agreements with provisions for cleanup or clothes change or both (table 1). In the main, washup time applied to all em ployees covered by the agreement, but 49 con tracts limited the provisions to designated jobs or occupations and 5 did not specify the coverage. (See table 2.) Typical of the provisions that limited coverage are the following illustrations: . . . showers on company time will be authorized for employees who are required to work on extremely dirty jobs or with hazardous materials requiring protective clothing or showers . . . * * * Employees on spray gun and sandblast work will be permitted to leave the job 15 minutes prior to quitting time in order to bathe. A specific amount of time for washup was pro vided in 94 agreements, granting, most commonly, either 5 (28 agreements) or 10 minutes per day (46 agreements) for this purpose (table 3). Of the 5 agreements with a daily allowance in excess of 15 minutes, 1 allowed 18, 3 allowed 20, and 1 allowed 30 minutes. In 25 agreements, time allowances varied by occupation or department; fifteen other agree ments stipulated that “reasonable,” “sufficient” or the “ time necessary” for washup would be given: Except for jobs set forth in exhibit F . . . all employees shall be permitted to stop work to wash up 6 minutes before quitting time at the lunch period and at the end of the shift. The employees in the jobs set forth in said exhibit F shall be permitted to stop work to wash up 10 minutes before quitting time at the lunch period and at the end of the shift. * * * The company will continue its practices of allowing a reasonable amount of time for necessary washup and/ or clothes change. In a number of agreements, the amount of time allowed could be used for more than one type of activity, as illustrated below: A 5-minute washup period shall precede the quitting time of each shift. During this period, employees shall be permitted to cease work for the purpose of washing up and taking care of their tools. * * * Employees on jobs which require toxic clothing and a bath . . . shall be allowed to leave their job 15 minutes before quitting time in order to return clothing to the Service Department and take a bath. Under the terms of 76 agreements, emplo3rees were allowed a single washup period, usually at the end of the shift. Many of the agreements in the chemical, machinery (except electrical), electri cal machinery, and transportation equipment industries provided for this type of scheduling. A 15-minute washup period on company time shall be allowed to employees . . . when handling skin-irritating materials or lead compounds. This time shall be taken before the regularly scheduled quitting time . . . * * * Employees in the Foundry Division and in the forge, heat treat, welding, and snagging departments will be allowed 15 minutes washup time prior to the end of their shifts . . . Employees were permitted two periods for personal washup, one before lunch and one before quitting time in 54 agreements and at the begin ning and end of a shift in 1 additional agreement. Most of these were found in the machinery (except electrical), electrical machinery, and construction industries. It is recognized that the performance of certain jobs results in the employee being exposed to severe dirt con ditions. In these cases, employee will be allowed sufficient time for washing up before lunch time and quitting time. Five agreements (one in chemicals, two in machinery, one in instruments and related prod- 13 ucts, and one in construction) provided for washup before lunch only. In six agreements, the time for washup depended on the job or department; for example: The employees in the following departments . . . have a 5-minute washup period immediately preceding their lunch periods and a 10-minute washup period immediately preceding the end of their shifts. No other employees have a mid-shift washup period. All other employees in the factory bargaining unit have a 5-minute washup period immediately preceding the end of their shift. Paid Cleanup Time . Paid time for cleaning up the machine or the work place, or returning tools to the tool crib, or other similar duties was provided by 140 agreements; in 60 of these, the provision appeared in combination with washup and/or clothes-change time. In manufacturing industries, this pay practice was most prevalent in petroleum, stone, clay, and glass, food, and transportation equipment. The highest repre sentation among the nonmanufacturing group was in transportation and construction. Almost half of the 58 contracts which limited pay for cleanup activities to special groups were in meatpacking and transportation, as the following clauses indicate: Five minutes per day . . . will be paid to employees who use and sharpen one knife daily. Ten minutes per day . . . will be paid to employees who use and sharpen two knives daily . . . * * * All operators shall receive 10 minutes preparatory time at the beginning of their runs or trippers and 10 minutes time after car or bus arrives at bam or garage for making out manifests and turning in receipts at the end of the day’s work. Of the 140 agreements with provisions for ma chine cleanup or similar activities, 101 did not specify an actual time allowance. This omission may be attributed to the fact that variations in the nature of the work in certain plants preclude defining cleanup time in specific time allowances. Of this group, 41 agreements specified only that “reasonable,” “sufficient,” or the “ time neces sary” would be allowed. For example: When an employee is required to return tools or other company equipment at the end of workday he will be allowed a reasonable time therefor before the scheduled end of such workday, taking due account of the distance of his work from the check-in point and the nature of the tools handled. * * * T a b l e 3.

These provisions were concentrated in the food and chemicals industries. Fewer than half of the 50 contracts providing pay for clothes-change time designated the actual amount of such time. Sixteen agreements al lowed 12 minutes; 15 of these were in the meat packing industry and 1 in ordnance. Twelve minutes per day will be paid employees for changing clothes, and shall be counted as working time for all purposes. Employees were authorized to change clothes at the end of the shift in 10 agreements, and in 9, clothes-changing time was at the beginning and end of the shift. Most of these agreements were in the food industry, where employees were re quired to wear special clothing on the job. Total Daily Allowances. In the 130 agreements with definite time allowances for all of the activ ities specified in the contract, the combined du ration ranged from 3 to 30 minutes per day, with 15 5 and 10 minutes the most prevalent (table 4).3 The time allowed exceeded 15 minutes in only 13 agreements. The total time was derived by adding the individual allowances, as in the follow ing examples which provided a total of 30 and 10 minutes per day, respectively: . . . The following schedule of allowable time shall be adhered to: (1) Five-minute change period at the start of the shift. (2) Ten-minute washup period before the eating period. (3) Five-minute change period after lunch. (4) Ten-minute washup period at the close of the shift. Employees shall be allowed 5-minute washup time at noon and 5 minutes before quitting time to replace tools, clean machines and benches, and wash up . . . In 148 agreements the total daily allowance could not be ascertained. In agreements where the provisions applied to special groups of workers only, the total amount of time was more liberal than in situations where they applied to all workers. For example, of the 29 agreements that granted 15 minutes or more, 20 covered special groups or occupations. * Applies to agreements which had mentioned 1, 2, or all 3 of the activities studied. 17 Contract Allowances for Safety Equipment and Work Clothing, 1959 P r o vision s related to the furnishing of personal safety equipment and protective apparel were in cluded in 502 of 1,687 major collective agreements analyzed by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A smaller number, 267, referred either to the issuance of uniforms or general work clothing, or to the pro vision of allowances for their purchase. Most of these agreements provided that the entire cost of furnishing safety equipment or apparel was to be assumed by the employer, as was the expense of maintaining work clothing. The agreements usually did not specify whether company or employee was responsible for main taining or replacing safety equipment but since such equipment was issued to employees on an “ as needed” basis and remained company property in most cases, it is likely that the employer also bore this expense. The practice of supplying protective or work clothing is probably more widespread than this analysis of agreement provisions would indicate. For example, the wearing of protective apparel is frequently required by government safety regu lations and hence may not be subject to unionmanagement negotiation. In general, however, it would appear that furnishing and maintaining work clothing is still the employee's responsibility in most organized establishments. This study was based on 1,687 collective bar gaining agreements, each covering 1,000 or more workers, or virtually all agreements of this size in the United States, except for the railroad and airline industries.1 The approximately 7.5 million workers covered by these major agreements ac count for slightly less than half of all workers estimated to be covered by all collective bargain ing agreements in the United States, exclusive of railroads and airlines. Of the agreements studied, 1,063 covered 4.6 million workers in manufacturing, and 624 applied to 2.9 million workers in nonmanufacturing. All of the agree ments were in effect at the beginning of 1959, and slightly less than half (823) expired during that year. Safety Equipment Under the terms of 490 of the 502 agreements referring to safety equipment, the employer agreed to furnish, whenever necessary, such items as goggles, boots, and gloves. The remaining agreements specified that some or all of the protective devices, frequently of an individualized nature such as prescription glasses and safety shoes, would be sold to employees at less than the full purchase cost. (See table 1.) Safety equipment provisions were more preva lent in manufacturing than in nonmanufacturing industries. In manufacturing, half of the pro visions were found in primary metal products, machinery (except electrical), and transportation equipment industries; in nonmanufacturing, elec trical and gas utilities, construction, and trans portation agreements contained most of these provisions. (See table 2.) i The Bureau does not maintain a file of railroad and airline agreements; hence their omission from this study. T a b l e 1.

All such equipment shall either be carried on line trucks or kept in a place quickly available to all employees concerned. Coveralls, or other protec tive clothing, will be provided by the company where acid conditions are encountered in the work to be performed, or for painting that would endanger the clothing of the employees. Representative provisions for furnishing these items follow: Protective devices, wearing apparel, and other equip ment necessary to properly protect employees from injury shall be provided by the company in accordance with practices now prevailing in each separate plant or as such practices may be improved from time to time by the company. Goggles, gas masks, face shields, respirators, special purpose gloves, fireproof, waterproof, or acidproof protective clothing when necessary and required shall be provided by the company without cost, except that the company may assess a fair charge to cover loss or willful destruction thereof by the employee. * * * * The employer will provide outer garments, consisting of raincoats, boots, and sheepskin-lined jackets, to such em ployees as work, or are assigned to work, in locations which are not fully protected from the elements, or which are not regularly adequately heated. In 12 agreements, standard equipment was furnished free of charge, but employees were re quired to pay some part of the cost for items that had to be adapted to the needs of the in dividual. For example: * The company shall provide all employees necessary protective equipment, including rubber blankets, rubber gloves, rubber sleeves, rubber hats, rubber boots, other protective rubber footwear, rubber coats, rubber hose.

Standard safety goggles that do not require a prescription are furnished free of charge. Employees requiring a special ground lens will be furnished goggles at cost; the company furnishing the frames free. Work Clothing The majority of the 267 provisions for supplying and/or maintaining work clothing were found in food producing (canneries, dairies, etc.) or food serving and selling industries (hotels, restaurants, and groceries). These industries and transporta tion, where sanitation and public appearance are also of great importance, accounted for nearly two-thirds of the agreements with such provisions, Usually, the employer required that special cloth ing or uniforms be worn. Where the employer agreed to provide work clothing, he usually also agreed to pay for laun dering or cleaning. Only 48 work clothing clauses did not also provide for clothing mainte nance. On the other hand, 13 agreements which referred to work clothing maintenance did not specify who was to provide these services. Examples of clauses relating to the furnishing of work clothing follow: Company agrees to furnish to drivers one standard jacket type uniform with one extra pair of trousers free after 1 year of continuous employment. . . . * * * Any employer requiring employee to wear a uniform shall pay for same and said uniform must bear union label. * M a in t e n a n c e ,1 M a jo r C o l l e c t iv e B a r g a in in g A g r e e m e n t s , by * * I n d u s t r y , 1959 Employer agrees to— Provide monetary allowance for— Provide safety equipment Maintain work Other ana maintain clothing > Work clothing provisions • work clothing Work clothing * but furnish safety equipment1 No reference to allowances Industry Agree Workers Agree Workers Agree Workers Agree Workers Agree Workers Agree Workers ments (thou ments (thou ments (thou ments (thou ments (thou ments (thou sands) ' sands)' sands) sands) ? sands)' sands)' 3 3 11.4 11.4 10 5 23.9 6.8 12 7 59.2 16.0 17 16 92.1 91.0 14 7 30.2 16.8 3 11.4 5 6.8 2 1 2.3 8.0 13 87.3 2 1 5.8 1.6 1 1.2 2 3.3 1 1.1 1 1 1 1.8 3.7 2.2 1 1.2 2 2.6 1 1.7 5 43.2 1 1.1 7 13.4 3 31.2 1 1.1 i 1 3.0 9.0 1 1 1.4 1.6 5 10.4 5 5 17.1 17.1 8 7 agreements also provided for maintenance of work clothing. • See footnote 4, table 1.
