Union Wages and Benefits: Printing Trades September 2, 1980 U.S. Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics September 1982 Bulletin 2125 u.s 1/ OCT 2 8 1982 Union Wages and Benefits: Printing Trades September 2, 1980 U.S. Department of Labor Raymond J. Donovan, Secretary Bureau of Labor Statistics Janet L. Norwood, Commissioner September 1982 Bulletin 2125 Preface This is one in a series of BLS bulletins reporting on surveys of union wage rates, benefits, and weekly straight-time hours for specified crafts or jobs as pro vided in labor-management agreements in five indus tries. Industries covered include construction, grocery stores, local transit, local trucking, and printing. Be cause of budgetary constraints, these union wage stud ies have been discontinued, effective in fiscal year 1982. The final publications are the September 1979 bulletins on trucking and grocery stores, the July 1980 bulletins on construction and local transit, and the September 1980 bulletin on printing trades workers. Wage rates, benefits, and hours for the printing trades were those in effect the first workday in September 1980, as reported to the Bureau by appropriate labor organization officials in each of the cities surveyed. Pre liminary listings of union wage rates, hours, and bene fits for printing trades employees in each city were is sued earlier. Copies of these are available from the Bu reau of Labor Statistics, Washington, D.C. 20212, or any of its regional offices listed at the end of this bulletin. This study was conducted in the Bureau’s Office of Wages and Industrial Relations. Carl Barsky and Jonathan W. Kelinson of the Division of Occupational Pay and Employee Benefit Levels prepared this bulle tin. It provides a comprehensive account of the current study and includes indexes of union wage rates and hours for the printing trades from 1907 to 1980. Field work for the survey was conducted by the Bureau’s Assistant Regional Commissioners for Operations.

The surface of the plate is flooded with ink, then scraped with a “doctor” blade. This leaves ink in the depressed areas only. Images are transferred to paper as the pa per soaks up ink from these depressions. The third process, lithographic printing, is now the most popular. In this method, images from a flat sur face are transferred to a chemically treated printing plate. Image areas are treated to accept ink; nonimage areas are treated to repel ink. After the plate has been inked, it is pressed against a rubber surface or “blan ket” which accepts the image without wearing down the surface of the printing plate, as paper does in let terpress and gravure printing. The blanket is then used to impress the images onto paper in an operation called “offset.” Summary Average wage rates for members of printing trades unions in cities of 100,000 inhabitants or more increased by 20.1 percent over the two-year .period ending Sep tember 2, 1980. This wage gain, which averaged 9.6 percent per year, was the largest annual rate of increase since the 10.2-percent rise between 1970 and 1971. By industry branch, the 1978-80 increase averaged 20.5 per cent in book and job shops, 18.2 percent in newspaper plants, and 22.1 percent in commercial lithography shops. Union wage rates for all printing trades members av* eraged $10.96 an hour on September 2, 1980. Day-shift rates averaged $12.32 an hour in lithography shops, compared with $10.56 an hour in newspaper plants ($10.97 including day- and night-shift workers) and $10.29 in book and job shops. Occupational rates in book and job shops ranged from an average of $7.07 for bindery workers to $12.82 for photoengravers. The spread in average day-shift rates in newspaper plants barely exceeded $1 an hour; rates ranged from $10.31 for mailers to $11.58 for photoen gravers. In commercial lithography shops, the lowest average wage was for press assistants and feeders ($11.22), while the highest average was for scanners ($14.34). Stages of production. The union members covered by the survey may be grouped according to their involve ment in 1 of 3 major stages of production: Pre-press, pressroom, and finishing. Pre-press operations include transferring images from the original material to a printing medium (e.g. a print ing plate). Technological changes in recent years have allowed the industry to replace commonly used metal parts with more flexible and less costly plastic mate rials. Other changes include increased uses of photo graphic plates, computer typesetting, and photocompo sition. This has reduced the demand for such occupa tions as photoengravers, stereotypers, and electrotypers. The need for hand and machine compositors will de cline as linotype and hot-metal machines are replaced with more efficient page-size and laser-produced print ing plates. Other pre-press occupational groups include lithographic artists, camera operators, strippers, platemakers, and scanners. The pressroom stage involves press operators and press assistants and feeders who mount the image car riers on presses, feed the presses with ink and paper, supervise the quality of the printing being done, and perform routine maintenance on pressroom machinery. With increased computerization, some of the work typi cally done in the pressroom can be completed during the pre-press stage. As new technology becomes more Industry characteristics Type o f establishment. Three printing industry branches were surveyed: (1) Book and job shops, which print books and fill many different types of small printing orders; (2) newspaper plants, which publish large volumes of newsprint rapidly at very low cost per unit; and (3) commercial lithography shops, which massproduce items of high quality for wide distribution (catalogs, magazines, etc.). Processes. Of the three printing processes in common use today, the oldest is the relief or letterpress method. In this method, the image to be printed is carried on a surface raised above the rest of the printing plate. The image areas are inked, and the printing plate is pressed against the paper and removed, leaving an ink image on the paper. 1 widespread in the industry, some new skills may be necessary at this stage of production. The last stage of processing, finishing, requires the work of bookbinders, bindery workers, and mailers. They bind the printed pages into books and pamphlets, assemble and wrap newspapers and magazines, or other wise prepare printed material for mailing and distribution. ber 1, 1978 and September 2, 1980 (tables 6 and 7). Av erage increases for occupational groups studied sepa rately in book and job shops ranged from 13.2 percent for stereotypers to 25.6 percent for mailers (table 10). Increases in the other two printing trades branches were within more narrow ranges—in newspaper plants, in creases were from 16.4 percent for photoengravers to 20.8 percent for mailers; in lithography shops, from 17.3 percent for scanners to 24.2 percent for press assistants and feeders. Since 1970, percentage increases in occu pational wage rates were greatest for platen press op erators and the lower paid bindery workers; the higher paid stereotypers recorded the smallest cumulative per centage increase. Regionally, the largest rates of increase for all union printing trades were reported in the Great Lakes area (22.8 percent) and the Pacific States (21.2 percent). The smallest rate was recorded in New England (15.5 percent). Unionization. Three printing trades unions represent virtually all of the union members studied. The Inter national Typographical Union (ITU) includes hand compositors, machine operators, machine tenders, and mailers. (In January 1979, the International Mailers Un ion, which covered nearly all mailers, merged into the ITU.) The Graphic Arts International Union (GAIU) covers bindery workers, bookbinders, photoengravers, and most craft workers under commercial lithography contracts. Press operators and press assistants not un der commercial lithography contracts, as well as elec trotypers and stereotypers, are usually affiliated with the International Printing and Graphic Communications Union (IPGCU). Industry branch averages. Union wage rates in the print ing trades averaged $10.96 an hour on September 2, 1980 (table 5). Averages by industry branch were: $10.29 for book and job shops; $10.97 for newspaper plants ($10.56 for day-shift workers, $11.36 for night-shift); and $12.32 for commercial lithography shops. Differ ences in these averages were attributable to various skill levels, nightwork premuim pay, and intercity or re gional wage levels. Wage differentials between book and job shops and the other two branches partially reflected differences in skill requirements among the three branches. Book and job shops employed a larger proportion of semi skilled people than did the other two branches. Nearly one-fifth of all book and job shop members, for exam ple, were in comparatively low-paying binding occu pations involving mainly routine tasks. Bindery rates depressed the average wage in this industry branch rela tive to newspaper plants and lithography shops. Prevalence of nightwork in newspaper plants also tended to increase differences between the three indus try branches. One-half of the union members in news papers were reported on night shifts at the time of the survey; relatively few workers in book and job or li thography shops were employed on nightwork. Aver age pay for nightwork was 80 cents an hour more than for daywork in newspaper plants nationwide. Night work differentials—either contract-stipulated rates for nightwork or a fixed amount added to day rates—were found in all but 1 of the 58 cities reporting unionized newspaper trades; the size of such differentials and the proportion of members receiving them, however, var ied widely by city and occupation. In addition, nationwide pay differences among indus try branches reflected variations in the distribution of union members among the cities surveyed as well as Survey findings Wage trends. Average union wage rates for printing trades in cities of 100,000 inhabitants or more rose 20.1 percent between September 1, 1978 and September 1, 1980 (table 4).1This represents a 9.6-percent (compound) annual rate of increase, the highest yearly gain since wages in the industry rose 10.2 percent from 1970 to 1971. For union members in book and job shops, an nual increases averaged 9.8 percent, compared with 8.7 percent and 10.5 percent for workers in newspaper plants and lithography shops, respectively. The Sep tember 1978-80 annual wage-rate increase in the union component of the BLS Employment Cost Index—a measure of pay change that covers nearly all workers in private nonfarm industries—was 9.7 percent. Over all, the 1978-80 increase raised the Bureau’s union wage rate index for all printing trades to 128.5 (1977= 100).1 2 The corresponding index for book and job shops was 129.3; for newspaper plants, 124.8; and for lithography shops, 132.6. (See table 1.) Virtually all of the union members covered by the survey received wage-rate increases between Septem 1For an account o f the earlier survey, see Union Wages and Bene fits: Printing Trades, September 1, 1978, Bulletin 2049. 2The September 2, 1980 wage rate index for printing trades workers was calculated on a 1977 — 100 base; the base previously used was 1967= 100. On the new base, the overall index for September 2, 1980 was 128.5; on the old base, 263.3. On the 1967= 100 base, the index for book and job shops was 267.4; for newspaper plants, 254.1; and for lithography shops, 270.1. The Office o f Federal Statistical Policy and Standards established the new base period for use by Federal Government statistical agencies in line with a longstanding policy that indexes are to be updated periodically. 2 The highest average for newspaper plants ($11.88) was recorded in the Middle Atlantic region (table 9). City population size also had an impact on wage levels. September 1980 wage rates in cities of 1 million inhabitants or more averaged $11.96 an hour for all printing trades. This was 11 percent above the $10.78 average rate paid to employees in cities of 500,000 to 1 million, 15 percent above the $10.43 average rate re corded in cities of 250,000 to 500,000, and 25 percent more than the $9.57 average in cities of 100,000 to 250.000 inhabitants—the smallest city size group stud ied (table 11). Nevertheless, there were exceptions to this general pattern. For example, two cities in the smallest size group studied—Fremont and Fresno, Cali fornia—reported average wages ($11.81 and $11.69) higher than three cities in the largest size category, and higher than all cities, except Milwaukee, Wise., in the 500.000 to 1 million size group. Similarly, 14 of the 19 cities in population group II (500,000 to 1 million) had higher averages than those reported for Houston and Philadelphia—two of the cities with 1 million inhabi tants or more. (See tables 15-23 for wage rates for in dividual occupations in the 61 cities surveyed.) differences in industry pay relationships within cities. For example, the all-city average for lithography was 20 percent above the average for book and job shops. When comparisons were limited to the six largest cit ies, however, the difference narrowed to 11 percent, primarily because of the pay relationship between the two branches in New York City. Unlike the nationwide pattern, New York City’s pay levels were slightly higher in book and job shops than in lithography. New York accounted for just over half of the union members in book and job shops in the six cities but for only onefifth of these members nationwide; in lithography shops, New York’s proportion of the membership in the six cities was two-fifths, and one-fifth of the membership nationwide. Occupational averages. Average hourly wage rates on September 2, 1980 for occupations surveyed in book and job shops ranged from $7.07 for bindery workers to $12.82 for photoengravers, but typically fell between $10 and $11 (table 4). In newspaper plants, average day-shift rates were in a narrow range—from $10.31 for mailers to a high of $11.58 for photoengravers. Av erage night-shift rates were typically between 5 and 13 percent higher; they ranged from $10.98 for hand com positors to $12.91 for stereotypers. The average rates in commercial lithography shops were usually between $12.50 and $13, but ranged from $11.22 (press assistants and feeders) to $14.34 (scanners). Straight-time hours and supplementary benefits. Weekly hours paid at straight-time rates averaged 35.7 for all printing trades in the survey (table 8). The averages were 36 in newspaper plants, 35.8 for book and job shops, and 35.2 hours in lithography shops. Straight-time workweeks of 35 hours applied to nearly one-half of the union members covered by the survey; nearly onefourth had 37.5-hour workweeks. Less than 2 percent of the union members were required to work more than 37.5 hours per week before overtime premium pay be came effective. Contract provisions for employer contributions to health, welfare, and pension plans applied to most workers. Where available, information on the amount of such contributions is presented by city and trade in tables 15-23. Regional and city averages. Regionally, average hourly wage rates for all printing trades ranged from $8.52 in the Southwest to $11.80 in the Pacific region. The Southwest also reported the lowest average wage rates for each of the three industry groups: $7.89 for book and job shops, $8.83 for day- and night-shift workers combined in newspaper plants, and $8.96 for commer cial lithography shops. The highest averages for book and job and commercial lithography shops were found in the Pacific region ($10.97 and $13.55, respectively). 3 Table 1.

NOTE: Variations in the size of in creases from survey to survey may reflect, in part, variations in timing of contract ne gotiations. Wage rates and increases indi cated reflect rates available on the first workday in September of the survey year, and do not include increases made later that are retroactive to that day or before. 10 Table 5.

Wage rates shown represent rates available and payable on the first workday in September of the survey year and do not include in creases made later that are retroactive to that day or before. 2 Hours are the same for both years unless other wise indicated. 3 Shown in terms of cents per hour or as a percent of rate; in actual practice, however, some employer payments are calculated on the basis of total hours or . gross payroll. These variations in method of computa tion are not indicated in the above tabulation. 4 Includes life insurance, hospitalization and other types of health and welfare benefits; excludes pay ments into holiday, vacation, and unemployment funds when such programs have been negotiated. - No data, or no data reported. When referring to a rate per hour for a previous year, indicates ei ther a change in progression, or a new job or union not previously reported. * Agreement provides for employer financed plan; amount of employer payment not available. 151 Appendix: Scope and Method of Survey Union wage rates and hours reported in this bulletin were agreed on through collective bargaining between trade unions and employers and are defined as (1) the basic (minimum) rates (excluding holiday, vacation, or other benefit payments made regularly or credited to the worker each pay period), and (2) the maximum number of weekly hours at straight-time rates. Wage rates exceeding the negotiated minimum, which may be paid for special qualifications or other reasons, are excluded. Thus, rates shown do not represent total hourly earnings of printing trades workers. The survey of printing trades was designed to reflect union wage rates in cities of 100,000 inhabitants or more (1970 Census of Population). All cities that had 500,000 inhabitants or more were included, as were most cities with 250,000 to 500,000 inhabitants. Data for some cit ies were weighted to compensate for cities not surveyed. In order to provide appropriate regional representation, each region was considered separately when city weights were assigned. Information for the printing trades is based on union rates in effect on September 2, 1980, covering approxi mately 98,000 union members in the 61 cities surveyed. Data were obtained from local union officials by mail questionnaire; in some instances, Bureau economists vis ited local union officials to obtain the desired information. Average wage rates, designed to show current levels, were based on printing trades wage rates in each city as of September 2, 1980. The wage rates were weighted by the number of union members at the rate in the area. These averages were not designed for precise year-toyear comparisons because of fluctuations in member ship in the job classifications studied. Average cents-perhour and percent changes from September 1, 1978 to September 2, 1980, however, were based on compara ble quotations for the various job classifications in both periods, weighted by the membership reported for the current (1980) survey. The index series, designed for trend purposes, was constructed similarly. & U .S . 152 GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE: 1982— 361*270/4956 Now available from the Bureau of Labor Statistics Wage Surveys for the Following Industries: • Life Insurance • Communications • Banking • iron and Steel Foundries Surveys include: • Results from the latest BLS survey of wages and supplemental benefits. • Detailed occupational data for the nation, regions, and selected areas (where available). • Data useful for wage and salary administration, union contract negotiation, arbitration, and Government policy considerations.
