Union Wages and Hours of Motortruck Drivers and Helpers, July 1, 1951
Summary
Hourly union scales of workers en­
gaged in local city trucking averaged $1.65
on July 1, 1951, according to the sixteenth
annual survey of union scales of local
city trucking conducted by the Bureau of
Labor Statistics*
Union scales averaged
$1*69 for drivers and $1.42 for helpers.
Between July 1, 1950, and July 1, 1951,
wage scales advanced 5.6 percent or 9
cents an hour for organized city truck
drivers, and 5*7 percent or 8 cents for
helpers.
Scale increases provided by collec­
tively-bargained agreements effective dur­
ing the year were more widespread than in
the previous 12-month period.
Over fourfifths of the drivers and helpers had up­
ward scale revisions in the year ending
July 1, 1951, whereas less than threefifths benefited from scale changes in the
preceding year.
Straight-time
weekly hours showed
practically no change during the year,
averaging 42 hours on July 1, 1951#
The
typical workweek was comprised of 40 hours
and prevailed for seven-tenths of the
drivers and helpers.

Average scales are designed to show
current levels and are based on all scales
reported for the current year In the cities
covered. Individual scales are weighted by
the number of union members reported at
the scale. These averages are not measures
for yearly comparisons because of annual
changes in union membership and in classi­
fications studied.
Trend of Union Wage Scales
Between July 1, 1950, and July 1,
1951, wage scales of unionized local city
truck drivers and helpers increased 5*6
percent to advance the index of union
hourly scales to 206.9* (See table 1.) The
increase registered during the year was
greater than the 3*5 rise in the 12-month
period ending July 1, 1950 but was sub­
stantially below the gains achieved in
each of the 4 previous years, when annual
advances ranging from 8 to 15 percent were
recorded, J/
On July 1, 1951, the index of union
scales exceeded the average for the 3
years preceding the Korean conflict (19471949) by 18.2 percent for local city truck
drivers and helpers combined, by 17.9 per­
cent for drivers, and by 19*6 percent for
helpers.

Scop, and Method of Study
The information presented in this re­
port is based on union scales in effect on
July 1, 1951 which
covered more than
260,000 drivers and 40,000 helpers in the
local trucking industry in 77 cities rang­
ing in population from about 40,000 to
more than 1,000,000. Over-the-road drivers
and local city drivers paid on a mileage
or commission basis were excluded from the
study. Data were obtained primarily from
local union officials by mail question­
naire. In some cities data were obtained
from regional representatives of the In­
ternational
Brotherhood
of Teamsters,
Chauffeurs, Warehousemen and Helpers of
America (AFL), or from local union offi­
cials by Bureau representatives.
Union scales are defined as the mini­
mum wage rates or maximum schedules of
hours (before payment of premium overtime)
agreed upon through collective bargaining
by employers and unions. Rates in excess
of the negotiated minimum which may be
paid for special qualifications or other
reasons are not included.



Of the drivers and helpers receiving
scale increases during the year, a fourth
had advances of less than 5 percent, a half
from 5 to 10 percent, and slightly over a
fifth from 10 to 15 percent. Although ad­
justments ranging from less than 5 cents
to over 40 cents an hour were provided in
individual contracts, advances of 5 to 15
cents an hour were received by over threefifths of the drivers and helpers benefit­
ing from scale revisions.
(See table 3.)
2/ In the index series, designed for
trend purposes, yearly changes in union
scales are based on comparable quotations
for each trade in consecutive years weight­
ed by the number of union members reported
at each quotation in the current year.
Beginning with this report, the base
for the computation of the index series
has been shifted from July 1, 1939 to the
average of the 3-year period 1947-49. In­
dex tables computed on both the old and
new bases are presented in this report. In
future reports, indexes on the 1939 base
will be discontinued.

2
Union
scales for some motortruck
drivers in each of the 77 cities studied
were increased between July 1, 1950, and
July 1, 1951*
On a city basis, the aver­
age increases ranged from 1*8 percent in
Cleveland to 13 percent in Knoxville.
Average increases in 8 cities - all in the
south - amounted to 10 percent or more per
hour* Upward adjustments averaged under 5
cents an hour in a sixth of the cities;
increases of from 5 to 10 cents and from
10 to 15 cents each applied to about twofifths of the cities* Charleston (W. Va.),
Chicago, and Knoxville were the only cities
in which average hourly advances of 15
cents or more were recorded* (See table A*)
Of the 72 cities for which data were
reported for helpers, 3 cities indicated
no change in the union scales of the pre­
vious year* In half of the cities studied
the increases averaged from 5 to 10 cents
an hour* Little Rook and Spokane recorded
the greatest gains, with average hourly
advances of 15 and
cents, respectively*

17i

Scales of unionized local city truck
drivers averaged $1*69 on July 1, 1951,
and ranged from less than 80 cents to more
than $2*50 an hour* (See table 5.) Nearly
three-fourths of the drivers studied were
employed
under
contracts
stipulating
scales of $1.50 to $2*00 an hour; a tenth
had hourly scales of $2*00 or more* Helpers
averaged $ 1*42 an hour with seven-tenths
of the workers having contract scales
varying from $1*25 to $1*75 an hour*
Scales of less than $1*25 were in effect
for
fifth of the helpers, and of $1*75
or more for 1 of every 14.

a

A comparison of the scales in effect
on July 1, 1951 with those existing on
July 1, 1950 indicates the approximate ex­
tent of adjustments since the outbreak of
hostilities in Korea. Nearly 70 percent of
the drivers on July 1. 1950 had scales
ranging from $1*50 to $2.00 an hour; only
4 percent had negotiated hourly scales of
$2*00 or more. At that time 25 percent of
the helpers had hourly scales under $1*25
and only 1 percent had scales as high as
$1.75.

Differences in hourly scales of motor­
truck drivers and helpers exist not only
between cities and regions but also be­
tween industry and commodity classifi­
cations within a city. Variations in the
terminology and classification used among
cities preclude sound intercity or nation­



a

wide comparisions of union scales on
commodity, industry, and/or size-of-truck
basis.
Rates of drivers and helpers varied
widely between cities. The wide variations
as well as the relationship that exists
between the rates of union drivers and
helpers is illustrated in table 6 which
presents data for 6 important cities in
different sections of the country.
Average union scales for drivers on
July 1,1951 varied from $1.01 in Charlotte,
N. C., to $1*95 in Oakland. California. In
41 cities scales averaged $1*50 or more an
hour, and in 11 cities less than $1*25.
Union scales for helpers averaged
highest in Oakland ($1*85) and lowest in
Jacksonville (81 cents)*
In eight other
Southern cities rate levels were below $1
an hour*
Average scales for helpers in
four Pacific Coast cities - Oakland, San
Francisco, Seattle and Spokane - equaled
or exceeded the national average of $1*69
for drivers.

by

When ranked
population group, aver­
age rates descended in order of size of
city except for the group of cities with
populations of 250,000 to 500,000. Drivers
and helpers in these cities had scale
levels which exceeded those in cities hav­
ing from 500,000 to a million people by 7
cents and 2 cents an hour, respectively.
(See table 7.)
The population of individual cities,
however, had no marked influence on the
levels of union scales. Among drivers,
Chicago and New York ranked fifth and sixth
respectively,Philadelphia twenty-first and
Phoenix, which had the highest average
scale in the second smallest-sized group,
ranked ninth*
New York and Butte, the
largest and smallest cities included in
the study, had almost identical average
scales for helpers to rank 17th and 18th
respectively.
By region, average union hourly wage
scales ranged from $1.27 for motortruck
drivers and $1*00 for helpers in the South­
east to $1*85 and $1*64, respectively, on
the Pacific Coast.
The levels in
the
Middle Atlantic and the Great Lakes regions
also exceeded the national averages of
$1*69 for drivers and $1*42 for helpers.
The Southeast and Southwest were the only
regions with average scales below $1*50 an
hour for drivers and below $1*25 for
helpers* (See table 8*)

3
Standard Workweek

Pnlon Scales tar City and Classification

Changes were slight in the straighttime weekly hours of drivers and helpers
between July 1, 1950, and July 1, 1951, and
had no effect on the previous year*s aveiv
age of 42 hours#
On July 1, 1951, forty
hours or less constituted the straighttime workweek for about seven-tenths of
the drivers and helpers studied. A 4S-hour
work schedule was stipulated for a sixth
of the drivers and a fifth of the helpers.
Standard workweeks in excess of 4$ hours
applied to less than 5 percent of the work­
ers in both classifications.

Table 10 presents union scales of
wages and hours in effect on July 1, 1950,
and July 1, 1951, for each classification
of truck drivers and helpers in each of
the 77 cities included in the study. Where
more than one union scale was in effect
for the same classification in a particular
city, all scales are listed with the
letters A, B, C, etc., designating the
various effective agreements. The sequence
of the letters does not indicate the rela­
tive importance of the agreements or the
scales.
