Rates in ex cess of the negotiated minimum , which may be paid fo r special qualifications or other reasons, are not included. P a y scales fo r union prin tin g-tra d es w ork e rs continued to advance in c ities of 100, 000 or m ore population during the ye a r ending July 1, 1956. Hourly rates in creased an average of 7.1 cents, or 2 .6 percent, between July 1, 1955, and July 1, 1956, accordin g to the U. S. Departm ent of Labor ! s Bureau of Labor Sta tis tic s annual survey of union scales in the printing tra d es. The advance amounted to 6 .9 cents an hour (2 .7 p ercen t) in book and job print shops and to 7.5 cents (2 .5 percen t) in newspaper establishm ents. The inform ation presented in this rep ort was based on union scales in effect on July 1, 1956, and covered approxim ately 125,000 p rin t in g-tra d es w ork ers in 53 c itie s with populations of 100, 000 or m o re . Data w ere obtained p r i m a rily fro m lo ca l union o ffic ia ls by m a il ques tionnaire; in some instances, Bureau re p re s e n t atives visited lo c a l union o ffic ia ls to obtain the d esired inform ation. Rates w ere adjusted upward during the 12-month period fo r 7 of e v e ry 8 w ork ers su r veyed. The in crease ranged fro m 4 to 8 cents an hour fo r three-ten ths of the printing tra d e s men, 8 to 10 cents fo r a sligh tly s m a lle r p ro portion, and to 10 cents or m o re fo r a fourth. The current survey was designed to r e fle c t union wage scales in the printing industry in a ll cities of 100,000 or m ore population. A ll cities with a half m illio n or m ore population w ere in cluded, as w ere m ost cities in the population group of 250,000 to 500,000. The citie s in the 100, 000 to 250, 000 group selected fo r study w ere distributed w idely throughout the United States. The data fo r some of the c itie s in cluded in the study in the two sm a lle r size groups w ere w eighted to compensate fo r cities which w ere not surveyed. In o rd er to provide appropriate representation in the combination of data, each geographic region and population group was considered sep arately when city weights w ere assigned. Wage scales in effect on July 1, 1956, a veraged $2. 81 an hour fo r a ll trades studied— $2.66 fo r book and job shops and $3.09 in newspaper establishm ents. P rin tin g-tra d es w ork ers on day-sh ift w ork in newspaper plants averaged $2 .9 8 an hour, 12 percent m ore than in co m m ercia l (book and jo b ) print shops. H alf of the p rin tin g-trades w ork ers included in the study had negotiated rates ranging fro m $2.70 to $3.20 an hour. Am ong the im portant jobs common to both co m m ercia l and newspaper printing, no co n sis tent pattern of rate d ifferen ces was m anifest. Daywork scales fo r photoengravers and s te re o typ ers w ere higher in book and job printing shops, averagin g 16 and 22 cents, re s p e c tiv e ly , above those in newspaper establishm ents. Scales fo r hand com positors, h ow ever, a v e r aged 6 cents an hour higher on newspaper w ork. A v e ra g e hourly scales, designed to show current le v e ls , a re based on a ll scales reported in effect on July 1, 1956. Individual scales a re w eighted by number of union m em bers having each ra te. These a vera g es a re not designed fo r p re c is e y e a r -to -y e a r com parison because of fluctuations in m em bership and in job cla ssifica tio n s studied. A v e ra g e centsper-hour and percent changes fro m July 1, 1955, to July 1, 1956, a re based on com parable quo tations fo r the various occupational c la s s ific a tions in both periods weighted by the m e m b er ship reported fo r the current survey. The index s e r ie s , designed fo r trend purposes, is s im ila r ly constructed. S traigh t-tim e w eekly w ork schedules a v e r aged 37. 0 hours on July 1, 1956. Standard w orkw eeks of 37 hours w ere stipulated in labor-m anagem ent contracts affectin g slightly m ore than half of the union printing tradesm en. Schedules of 35 hours or less p reva iled fo r 1 of e v e ry 10 w ork ers, w hile those of 40 hours w ere in e ffect fo r 1 of e v e ry 20. Trend of Union Scales, Health and insurance plans developed through c o lle c tiv e bargaining co vered tw othirds of the prin tin g-trades w o rk ers. Pen sion program s w e re provided in contracts c o v ering alm ost a fourth of the organ ized w ork ers in the printing cra fts . The Bureau1s s e rie s of studies of union wage rates in the printing tra d es began with data fo r 1907. In the in itia l survey, in form a tion was obtained fo r 7 book and job and 4 newspaper occupations in 39 citie s . The cu r rent su rvey, which presents data fo r 12 o c cupations in book and job shops and 8 in n ew s paper establishm ents in 53 c ities, rounds out 50 y e a rs of scale inform ation fo r printingtrades w o rk ers. Scope and Method of Study Union scales a re the minimum wage scales or maximum schedules of hours a greed upon 1907-56 (i) 2 During the half century, wage scales of union printing-trades w ork ers advanced steadily except in the depression y e a rs of 1932 and 1933. A ccord in g to the Bureau*s indexes, the in crea se since 1907 has been at the annual rate of 4.6 percent fo r book and job printing and 4 .0 percen t fo r newspaper printing. The index fo r book and job w ork rose fro m 15.0 in 1907 to 134.9 in 1956, and fo r newspaper w ork fro m 19.4 to 132. 1 (table l ) . Scale in dexes fo r the two groups combined w ere not maintained p r io r to 1911. Since then, the index advanced fro m 19.9 to 134.1 in 1956, or at an annual rate of 4 .3 percen t. The rate of in crea se, h ow ever, has va ried w id ely throughout the y e a rs . In crea ses, m od erate p r io r to W orld W ar I, rose sharply during and im m ed ia tely a fter the w ar. The le v e l of rates fo r the industry as a whole in 1921 was m o re than double that of 1911. The steady up ward m ovem ent of rates in the next 10 y e a rs was follow ed by a m oderate setback in 1932 and a sharp decline in 1933. Rate d ecrea ses in the dep ression y e a rs w ere not fu lly o ffset until 1936. In 1941, the le v e l of rates was approxim ately 12 percent above the 1931 le v e l. The Bureau*s index showed a s im ila r advance during W orld W ar II (1941-45). Successive in crea se s in the 1946-56 period resu lted in a doubling of the scale le v e ls . M ost of the gain in the postw ar y e a rs was record ed in the period p r io r to July 1, 1949. Since that date, y e a rly in crea ses have ranged between 2 and 6 percent. Scale In crea ses, 1955-56 Changes in wage rates fo r organ ized w ork ers in the printing industry resu lt p r im a rily fro m labor-m anagem ent negotiations. Many of the contracts cu rren tly in e ffe c t w ere negotiated fo r 2 y e a rs — a few w ere fo r lo n ger period s. Contracts o f m ore than 1 year*s duration f r e quently provided fo r wage reopenings or sp eci fied in te rim o r d e fe rre d in crea ses to becom e effe c tiv e on stated dates. Only those scale changes that actually becam e e ffe c tiv e between July 1, 1955, and July 1, 1956, w ere included in the current su rvey. Some of these wage ad justm ents w ere negotiated p r io r to July 1, 1955. D efe rre d scale advances, e ffe c tiv e a fter July 1, 1956, w ere excluded fro m the survey. Thus, the scale changes presented in this rep ort do not re fle c t total wage advances negotiated in individual contracts during the su rvey y e a r. Scale in crea ses which becam e e ffe c tiv e b e tween July 1, 1955, and July 1, 1956, advanced the a vera g e hourly wage rate 2 .6 percent, slightly le s s than the 2.8-and 2.9-percent gains re g is te re d in the 2 precedin g 12-month period s. Advances during the ye a r ending July 1, 1956, represented gains o f 2.7 percent fo r printingtrades w o rk ers in book and job shops and of 2 .5 percent fo r those in newspaper plants. In term s of cents p er hour, scales rose an a verag e of 7. 1 cents fo r a ll printing trades combined, 6.9 cents in book and job (c o m m e r c ia l) shops, and 7. 5 cents in newspaper estab lishm ents. The a vera g e advance in newspaper plants was gre a te r fo r nightwork than fo r day w ork— 7.8 com pared with 7. 1 cents (table 5). R egion a lly, the in crea se in a vera g e scales va ried by type of printing. In book and job shops, the range was fro m 2. 2 cents in the Southwest to 8.1 cents in the M iddle A tlantic States. The ris e va ried fro m 4 .7 cents to 7.4 cents in a ll other regions except the Moun tain States, w here the advance was 8 cents. P rin tin g -tra d es w ork ers in newspaper plants record ed th eir grea test advances in the Moun tain and B o rd er States, 10. 1 and 10.5 cents, re s p e c tiv e ly . The only region to show a gain of le s s than 6.3 cents was the Southwest, w here the ris e amounted to 4.3 cents. In the h eavily populated and in du strialized M iddle A tlan tic and G reat Lakes region s, the re sp ective advances w ere 8.1 and 6.6 cents in co m m ercia l printing and 6.6 and 8.0 cents in newspaper printing (table 6). P ercen ta g ew ise, the gain, by region, va ried fro m 0.9 to 3.4 in book and job shops and fr o m l.5 to 3.5 in newspaper establishm ents. Advances in a verag e hourly scales w ere substantially uniform among the individual trades in both co m m ercia l and newspaper prin t ing. They va ried fro m 6.5 to 9.2 cents fo r 10 of the 12 book and job trades studied; fo r the other 2 trades, bindery women and e le c tr o typ ers, the gains w ere 4.3 and 10.6 cents, re s p e c tiv e ly . In newspaper establishm ents, a ll trades record ed a vera g e ris e s of 6.6 to 8 cents. Scales fo r n igh t-shift w ork ers gen era lly in crea sed sligh tly m ore than fo r d a y-sh ift w ork ers (table 5). The percent o f in crea se during the 12 months ending July 1, 1956, was also consistent among the individual crafts in both co m m ercia l and newspaper printing. It va ried fro m 2.2 to 2.9 percent fo r each of the trades studied e x cept bookbinders and e lec tro ty p ers in book and job shops. These trades advanced th eir a verage scale 3.1 and 3.4 percent, re s p e c tiv e ly . Wage scales w ere adjusted upward during the yea r fo r n ea rly nine-tenths of the union p rin tin g-trades w ork ers in co m m ercia l shops and fo r alm ost seven-eighths of those in new s paper plants. The proportion of w ork ers bene fitin g fro m rate re visio n s, h ow ever, va ried among the individual trades. In creased scales w ere reported fo r at least 82 percent of the w ork ers in each of the covered tra d es. N in etenths or m ore of the w ork ers in 7 trades (5 c o m m ercia l and 2 new spaper) had their scales adjusted upward during the y e a r. 3 O f the p rin tin g-trades w ork ers affected by scale revisio n s in book and job shops, 35 p e r cent had advances of 4 to 8 cents an hour; another 35 percent, 8 to 10 cents; 14 percent, 10 to 12 cents; and 7 percent, 12 cents or m o re. F o r newspaper w ork ers, the com pa rable percentages w ere 33, 23, 31, and 10. The in crea se s represen ted gains of 2 to 4 p e r cent fo r approxim ately tw o-th irds of the w ork ers whose scales w ere ra ised in each branch o f the industry. A dvances of 5 percent or m ore affected about 1 of e v e ry 8 w o rk ers in com m e rc ia l shops and about 1 of e v e ry 16 in n ew s paper plants. Rate V ariation s by Type o f W ork Book and job (c o m m e rc ia l) shops produce many d ifferen t item s in varying quantities; newspaper establishm ents, on the other hand, a re engaged in the m ass production of a single, re cu rrin g item at regu la r predeterm in ed in te rv a ls . Because of these variation s, the labor fo rc e d iffe rs m a te ria lly in each type of printing establishm ent. In co m m ercia l shops, a sub stantial proportion of the labor fo rc e is com p rised of bindery women, m a ile rs , and p ress assistants and feed ers who ty p ic a lly p e rfo rm routine and le s s skilled tasks; in newspaper printing, how ever, g re a te r proportions of jo u r neymen are requ ired to m eet daily demands. These d ifferen t la b o r-fo rc e requ irem en ts are re fle c te d in the a vera g e rates, which take into account the number of p rin tin g-trades w ork ers at the various rates of pay in each type of e stablishm ent. On July 1, 1956, union hourly scales of p rin tin g-trades w ork ers averaged $ 2.66 in co m m ercia l shops and $3.09 in newspaper plants. Union rates fo r d ay-sh ift w ork in newspaper plants averaged $2.98 and fo r nightshift w ork, $3.2 0 (table 7). The a verage daywork scale on newspapers was 12 percent above that of co m m ercia l shops, and 7 percent below that fo r nightwork on new spapers. B e cause the number of w ork er s n orm a lly em ployed on nigh t-shift w ork in c o m m ercia l shops is re la tiv e ly sm all, inform ation fo r such w ork ers was excluded fro m the survey. W age rates d iffe re d w idely in la b o r-m a n agem ent contracts coverin g p rin tin g-trades w o rk ers of varyin g skills in c ities with popu lations of 100, 000 or m o re. F o r a ll trades combined, negotiated hourly scales fo r book and job shop w ork varied fro m $ 1.10 fo r bind e ry women in San Antonio, T e x ., to $3.98 fo r some photoengravers in D etroit, M ich. Contract provision s specifyin g hourly rates of $2.50 to $3 w ere applicable to 37 percent of the p rin tin g-trades w ork ers in co m m ercia l shops. Scales of $3 to $ 3 .5 0 w ere reported in effect fo r 29 percent, and of $3. 50 or m ore fo r 4 percent. N egotiated rates of less than 423795 0 - 5 7 - 2 $ 2 an hour w ere indicated fo r about 20 p e r cent of the w o rk ers, which included a ll of the bindery women, about three-ten ths of the m a il e rs , and a tw elfth of the p ress assistants and fe e d e rs . Am ong bindery women, sligh tly m ore than th re e -fifth s had scales varyin g fro m $ 1.40 to $ 1.60 an hour, and a fourth had rates of $ 1 .6 0 or m o re. A ll contract rates reported fo r photoengravers ranged upward fr o m $2.60 an hour and exceeded $ 3.60 fo r 2 of e v e ry 5 w ork ers in this tra d e. In newspaper establishm ents, hourly scales va ried fro m $1 .9 0 fo r m a ile rs on d ay-sh ift w ork in N ew O rleans to $4.15 fo r com positors setting H eb rew -A m erica n text on the night shift in New Y o rk C ity. Rates of $2.5 0 to $ 3 w ere specified fo r approxim ately half of the w ork ers on the day shift and fo r slightly o ver a fifth of those on the night shift. N egotiated scales of $3 to $ 3 .5 0 w ere applicable to 47 percent of the d a y-sh ift w ork ers and to 66 percent of the nigh t-shift w o rk ers. Hourly rates of $3.50 or m ore w ere reported fo r some w ork ers in a ll but one of the newspaper printing crafts; n ea rly 30 percent of the photoengravers on dayw ork and m ore than 40 percent of the photo en gra v ers, pressm en, and p ressm en -in -ch a rge on nightwork had such sca les. Contracts p r o viding fo r rates of le s s than $2.5 0 an hour p reva iled fo r 9 percent of the m a ile rs and fo r le s s than 1 percent of the w ork ers in 3 other printing trades. By cra ft, hourly scales a veraged highest fo r photoengravers in both book and job shops and in newspaper establishm ents— $3.4 5 and $3.4 1 , re s p e c tiv e ly . The low est a vera g es r e corded w ere $ 1.55 fo r bindery women in com m e rc ia l shops and $2.79 fo r m a ile rs in new s paper w ork. Scales averagin g in excess of $ 3 an hour also p reva iled fo r stereotyp ers and ele c tro ty p e rs in book and job shops and fo r a ll other newspaper printing tra d es. Am ong im portant trades common to both types of printing, no consistent pattern o f rate d ifferen tia ls was evident. Daywork scales fo r hand com positors averaged 6 cents higher in newspaper w ork than in book and job shop w ork. S tereotypers and photoengravers in book and job shops, how ever, averaged 22 and 16 cents, re s p e c tiv e ly , higher than those on daywork in newspaper plants. Scales fo r nightwork on newspapers w ere, on the a vera g e, 22 cents, or 7.4 percent, above those fo r dayw ork. The d ifferen tia l favorin g n igh t-shift w ork ers amounted to 16 cents fo r machine tenders (m ach in ists), 19 cents fo r hand com positors and machine^ op era tors, and va ried fro m 24 to 31 cents fo r the other tra d es. P e r centagew ise, the d ifferen tia ls ranged fro m 5 to 10 percent. 4 C ity and Regional Variations H ourly rates w ere adjusted upward between July 1, 1955, and July 1, 1956, fo r som e prin t* in g-trades w ork ers in each of the 53 cities su rveyed. In L ittle Rock, A rk . , scale r e v i sions w ere reported only fo r book and job shop w ork. Some trades in the newspaper branch of the industry, h ow ever, w ere negotiating new scales at the tim e of the su rvey. In about th ree-fifth s of the c ities, the in crease in a v e r age hourly scales va ried from 4 to 8 cents fo r jbook and job printing, and from 6 to 11 cents fo r newspaper printing. P ercen ta g ew ise, the advances represen ted gains of 2 to 3 percen t fo r co m m ercia l and newspaper w ork in 1 of e v e ry 3 c itie s , and of 3 to 4 percen t fo r com m e rc ia l w ork in 1 of e v e ry 4 cities and fo r newspaper w ork in 3 of e v e ry 10 (table 6). The city and regio n a l a verages presented in tables 8 and 9 a re designed to show current le v e ls of rates; they do not m easure d ifferen ces in union scales among a rea s. Scales fo r in di vidual crafts do, of cou rse, v a ry from city to city. The city and region a l a vera g es, h ow ever, a re influenced not only by differen ces in rates among cities and regions b u talso by d ifferen ces in the proportion of organ ized w ork ers in the various cra fts . Thus, a p a rticu la r craft or c la ssifica tio n m ay not be organ ized in some a reas or m ay be organ ized less in ten sively in som e areas than in others; and, a lso , certain types of w ork a re found in some areas but not in oth ers, or to a grea ter extent in som e areas than in others. These d ifferen ces a re re fle c te d in the w eighting of individual rates by the num b er of union m em bers at the rate. Hence, even though rates fo r a il individual crafts in two a reas a re iden tical, the a vera g e fo r a il crafts combined in each area m ay d iffe r. In table 8, the cities included in the su rvey w ere grouped accordin g to population s iz e . The a vera g e union hourly rate fo r book and job printing in the group of cities with a m illio n or m o re population was $2.84, and in those with 100,000 to 250,000 population, $2.45. F o r newspaper printing, the com parable a v e r ages w e re $3.26 and $2.89. The a vera g e scale fo r the group of cities with 250,000 to 500, 000 population was 7 cents higher than the a vera g e fo r the cities with 500,000 to 1,000, 000 population fo r book and job printing— $2.59 as com pared with $2.52. Both groups had scales a veragin g $3.08 fo r newspaper printing. Scale le v e ls overlapped among cities in the d ifferen t s iz e groupings. F o r exam ple, the scale le v e l fo r book and job printing in P ro vid en c e, R. I. , (100, 000-250, 000), was higher than the le v e l fo r such w ork ers in a il but one city in the next la rg e r s ize group and fo r a ll cities in the 500,000 to 1,000,000 group. On a region a l b a sis, union hourly scales fo r a ll p rin tin g-trades w orkers combined in c itie s of 100,000 or m ore population averaged highest ($ 2 .9 5 ) on the P a c ific Coast and low est ($ 2 .6 7 ) in the B o rd er States. The M iddle A t lantic and G reat Lakes regions w ere the only other regions to have leve ls exceeding the national a vera g e of $2. 81 (table 9). A vera g e hourly rates in book and job shops ranged from $2.37 in the Southwest to $2.84 in the P a c ific region , and in newspaper plants from $2. 80 in the Southeast to $3.17 in the M iddle A tlantic S tates. Standard W orkw eek Straight-tim e w eek ly hours fo r union p rin t in g-trades w ork ers in cities of 100, 000 or m o re population decreased sligh tly during the y e a r. On July 1, 1956, standard w eek ly sched ules averaged 37.0 hours com pared with 3 7. 1 hours which had p reva iled fo r the precedin g 5 y e a rs . W orkweeks fo r day-sh ift w ork ers averaged 3 7.1 hours in co m m ercia l establish ments and 37.2 in newspaper plants. Nightshift w ork ers on newspapers had an a verag e schedule of 36.3 hours (table 10). A standard w orkw eek of 37l/a hours p r e dominated. This schedule was sp ecified in labor-m anagem ent contracts applicable to a m a jo rity of the prin tin g-trades w orkers in both co m m ercia l and newspaper plants. W orkweeks of 36 V4 hours p reva iled fo r approxim ately a third of the book and job shop w ork ers and fo r sligh tly m o re than a fifth of those in n ew s paper establishm ents. W eekly schedules of 35 hours or less w ere m o re common in n ew s paper plants than in book and job shops. Such schedules w ere negotiated fo r 17 p ercen t of the newspaper p rin tin g-trades w ork ers and fo r 6 percen t of the co m m ercia l shop w o rk e rs . C o n versely, standard workw eeks of m o re than hours w ere m o re p revalen t in book and job shops w here such schedules w ere applicable to 9 percen t of the w ork ers com pared with 2 percen t of those in newspaper plants. Lab or-m anagem ent contracts fo r n ew s paper w ork usually sp e cify sh orter w ork sched ules fo r nightwork than fo r daywork. Sched ules of 36 V4 hours p reva iled fo r 28 percen t of the night-shift w ork ers com pared with ^ p e r cent of the day-sh ift w ork ers; w orkweeks of 35 hours or less w ere in e ffect fo r 27 p e r cent and 6 percen t, re s p e c tiv e ly , of w orkers on the night and day shifts. S traigh t-tim e schedules of 37Va hours w ere stipulated fo r tw o-fifth s of the nightw orkers and n ea rly three-fou rth s of the dayw orkers. Insurance and Pension Plans Negotiated health, insurance, and pension progra m s in the printing industry have in creased in recen t y e a rs, although at a less 5 rapid rate than in some other in du stries. The rate of developm ent has undoubtedly been in fluenced by p rogram s operated by a number of p rin tin g-trades unions fo r many yea rs which provide m em bers with one or m ore types of benefits, such as death, o ld -a ge, sickness, and d isa b ility. On July 1, 1956, labor-m anagem ent con tra cts providing fo r health and insurance plans affected tw o-th irds of the union p rin tin g-trades w o rk ers, and those containing pension p r o v i sions w ere applicable to n ea rly a fourth. The proportion of w ork ers co vered by each of these program s in creased sligh tly during the y e a r. 1 Health and insurance program s w ere slightly 1 The prevalence of negotiated health, insu rance, and pension program s in the printing industry was fir st studied by the Bureau in July 1954. Inform ation for these plans was restricted to those financed entirely or in part by the em ployer. Plans financed by w orkers through union dues or a sse ssm e n ts w ere excluded. No attem pt was m ade to secu re inform ation on the kind and extent of benefits provided or on the cost of plans providing such b e n e fits. m ore prevalen t fo r prin tin g-trades w ork ers in book and job shops than in newspaper plants— 71 percent as com pared with 62 percen t. P e n sion plans w ere in e ffe c t fo r 17 percent of the co m m ercia l shop w ork ers and fo r 37 percent of those on new spapers. About 90 percent of the w ork ers provided with health and insurance protection w ere c o v ered by plans financed en tirely by em ployer contributions. Such plans w ere applicable to 95 percent and 77 percent, re s p e c tiv e ly , of the protected w ork ers in co m m ercia l and newspaper printing establishm ents. E m ployer-fin an ced pension progra m s p reva iled fo r th ree-fou rth s of the prin tin g-tra d es w ork ers a ffected by pen sion plan p rovision s. Included in such p r o gram s w ere seven-tenths of the co vered w ork ers in book and job shops and eight-tenths of those in newspaper plants.
