Price 35 cents Preface The Bureau of Labor Statistics conducts annual surveys of wage rates and scheduled hours of work for sp ecified crafts or job s as provided in labor-m anagem ent agreem ents in four industries: Building construction, print ing, lo ca l transit, and lo ca l trucking. The studies present the wage rates in effect as of July 1 of each year as r e ported to the Bureau by the appropriate lo ca l labor organ izations in each of the cities. Inform ation on the union scales and hours p r e vailing in each city is available in August of each year upon request to the Bureau*s regional office s . A nation wide sum m ary rep ort of rates in the printing trades was issued in January I960. This bulletin provides additional data and indexes of the trend of wages and hours fo r the period 1907-59. It was prepared in the Bureau*s D ivision of Wages and Industrial Relations by Thomas C. M obley under the direction of John F. Laciskey. iii Contents P age Sum m ary ____________________________________________________________________ ______________ Scope and m ethod of study ______________________________________________________________ Trend and sc a le changes ________________________________________ ________________ _2 Rate v a ria tio n s by type of w o r k -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------City and re g io n a l v a r ia t io n s --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2 3 Health, in su ra n ce, and pen sion plans ------------------------------------------------------------------------Union s c a le s b y city and t r a d e ______________________________________________ ____________ 4 5 1 1 T a b le s : 1.

A verage h ou rly sca le s r o s e 10 cents, or 3. 3 percen t, a cco rd in g to the 53d annual su rvey o f union pay sca le s in the printing industry by the Bureau of L abor Statistics.

The advance in h ou rly sca le s ranged fro m 8 to 10 cents fo r slightly m o re than a fourth of the w o rk e rs, fr o m 10 to 12 cents fo r a l m ost the sam e p rop ortion , and amounted to 12 cents or m o r e fo r another fourth. 1 As a re su lt o f these w idesp read rate r e v is io n s , union h ou rly wage sca le s on July 1, 1959, a v era ged $3. 12 fo r a ll printing trades studied— $ 2 .9 6 fo r book and jo b shops, and $3. 40 fo r new spaper plants. N early half of the w o rk e rs included in the study had n e g o tiated rates ranging fr o m $3 to $3. 50 an hour, and app roxim ately a fourth had rates of $3. 50 or m o re . The a vera ge h ourly d a y -sh ift sca le fo r new spaper w ork was 11 p ercen t above that fo r book and jo b w ork. Scales fo r nightw ork on new spapers w ere, on the average, 7 p ercen t higher than fo r daywork— $3. 51 com pared with $3. 29. The stra ig h t-tim e w orkw eek fo r w o rk e r s in the printing trades declin ed slightly during the y ea r and averaged 36. 7 hours on July 1, 1959. The m o st com m on w orkw eek, 37V2 h ou rs, was app licable to 45 p e rce n t of the w o rk e rs. W orkw eeks of 3 6 V4 hours w ere sp e cifie d in la b or-m a n a g em en t agreem en ts fo r 33 p ercen t of the printing cra ftsm en .

Scope and Method of Study Union sca le s a re defined as the m in i mum wage sca le s or m axim um schedules of hours a greed upon through co lle c tiv e b a r gaining betw een trade unions and em p loy ers. Rates in e x c e s s of the negotiated m inim um , which m ay be paid fo r sp ecia l qu alifications or other rea son s, a re not included. The inform ation p resen ted in this r e p ort was based on union sca le s in effe ct on July 1, 1959, and co v e re d approxim ately 115,000 printing trades w o rk e rs in 53 citie s with populations of 100, 000 or m o re . Data w ere obtained p rim a rily fro m lo c a l union o fficia ls by m a il questionnaire; in som e in stances, rep resen ta tiv es of the Bureau of Labor Statistics v isited lo c a l union o fficia ls to obtain the d e s ire d inform ation. The cu rren t su rvey was designed to r e fle c t union wage s ca le s in the printing industry in all citie s of 100,000 or m o re popu lation. A ll citie s with 500,000 or m o re popu lation w ere included, as w ere m o st c itie s in the 250,000 to 500,000 population group. The citie s in the 100,000 to 250,000 group selected fo r study w ere distributed w idely throughout the United States. Data fo r som e of the citie s included in the study in the two sm a ller size groups w ere w eighted to com pensate fo r citie s which w ere not surveyed. In o rd e r to p r o vide appropriate rep resen ta tion in the c o m bination of data, each geograp h ic reg ion and population group was con sid ered sep arately when city weights w ere assigned. A v erage h ourly s ca le s , designed to show cu rren t le v e ls, a re based on all sca le s r e ported in e ffe ct on July 1, 1959.

Trend and Scale Changes Union sca le changes which b e ca m e e f fe ctiv e betw een July 1, 1958, and July 1, 1959, as prov id ed in la b or-m a n a gem en t co n tra cts, ra ise d the a verage hou rly sca le fo r printing trades w o rk e rs 3. 3 p ercen t. This gain, which approxim ated the in cre a se r e g is tered in each of the two p reced in g 12-m onth p e rio d s , advanced the B u reau 's index o f union hou rly sca le s (January 2, 1948—July 1, 1949* 100) to 148. 3 (table 1). This upward m o v e m ent r e fle cte d gains of 3. 5 p e rce n t in book and job shops and 3 p ercen t in new spaper establishm ents (table 5), ra isin g the index fo r these bran ch es of the industry to 149. 8 and 145. 0 re sp e ctiv e ly . Am ong the individual tra des, gains in a vera ge h ou rly sca le s v a ried in book and job shops fro m 21. 7 p ercen t fo r m achine tenders to 4. 8 p e rce n t fo r b in dery w om en and in new spaper plants, fr o m 2. 7 fo r p r e s s m e n in -ch a rg e and ste re o ty p e rs to 3. 8 fo r m a ile rs (table 5). R egionally, the rate o f advance d iffe re d m o r e strikin gly fo r both types of printing. It v a rie d fr o m 2. 2 p e rce n t in the Southwest to 6. 6 p ercen t in the P a c ific reg ion fo r book and job w ork, and fr o m 1. 7 p ercen t in New England to 4. 1 p ercen t in the P a cific reg ion fo r new spaper w ork (table 6). In te rm s o f cents p er hour, a verage hourly sc a le s in cre a se d 10 cents fo r both co m m e r c ia l and new spaper printing. F or in dividual tra des, h ow ever, avera ge h ourly scale advances v a r ie d fr o m 8. 2 cents fo r bindery w om en to 12.8 cents fo r b ook bin ders in book and job shops, and fr o m 9 cents fo r s te r e o typers to 1 1 .5 cents fo r m a ile rs in n ew s paper plants. On a region a l b a s is , advances in a verage hou rly sca le s showed a w ider v a r iation fo r b ook and job w ork than fo r n ew s paper w ork. They v a rie d fr o m 5. 5 cents in the Southwest to 20 cents in the P a c ific region fo r book and jo b shops, and fr o m 5. 5 cents in New England to 13. 8 cents in the P a cific reg ion in new spaper plants. Many o f the con tra cts in e ffe ct on July 1, 1959, had been negotiated fo r 2 y e a r s— a few w ere fo r lon ger p e rio d s . C ontracts of m ore than a y e a r 's duration frequently prov id ed for wage reopen in gs o r contained p ro v isio n s fo r p e rio d ic in c re a s e s . Even though individual con tra cts p rovided fo r in c re a se s at va riou s sp e cifie d dates, only those sca le s that actually b eca m e effe ctiv e betw een July 1, 1958, and July 1, 1959, w ere included in the cu rren t study. Some of these sca le r e v is io n s w ere p rov id ed fo r in con tra cts which b eca m e e f fe ctiv e b e fo r e July 1, 1958. A num ber o f agreem en ts negotiated during the y ea r ending July 1, 1959, contain p ro v isio n s fo r rate in c r e a s e s after that date. Thus, the sca le r e v is io n s p resen ted h erein do not r e fle c t the total wage sca le changes negotiated in in dividual con tra cts during the su rvey y ea r. Hourly wage s ca le s w ere adjusted up w ard betw een July 1, 1958, and July 1, 1959, fo r 88 p ercen t of the union printing tradesm en in book and jo b shops and fo r 92 p e rcen t of those in new spaper plants. In creased rates w ere rep orted fo r at lea st tw o-th ird s o f the w ork ers in each o f the 20 trades studied. In 13 trades, nine-tenths o r m o re of the w o rk e rs had their hourly sca le advanced by co n tra ct p ro v isio n s. In crea ses in h ourly sca le s during the y ear ending July 1, 1959, ranged fr o m 8 to 12 cents fo r half of the printing trades w o rk e rs and amounted to 12 or m o re cents fo r a fourth. In book and jo b shops, 22 p ercen t of the w ork ers advanced their h ou rly sca le s 8 to 10 cents; 20 p ercen t, 10 to 12 cen ts; and 31 p ercen t, 12 cents o r m o re . F or n ew s paper w ork ers, the com p a ra b le p ercen ta g es w ere 35, 31, and 16, re sp e ctiv e ly . A sixth o f the w ork ers in book and job shops and a tenth o f those in new spaper plants had ra is e s of le s s than 8 cents an hour (table 4). The ra is e s in h ourly sca le s r e p r e sented gains o f 3 to 5 p ercen t fo r slightly m o re than half of the printing tradesm en in co m m e r c ia l shops and fo r th re e -fifth s of those in new spaper establishm ents. S cales r o s e at lea st 5 p ercen t fo r slightly m o re than a fourth of the book and jo b w o rk e rs and fo r an eighth of the new spaper w o rk e rs, r e sp ectiv ely (table 3). Rate Variations by Type o f Work C om m ercia l printshops p rod u ce m any differen t item s in varying quantities; n ew s paper establishm ents, on the other hand, are geared to m a ss prod u ction of a single, r e cu rrin g item at regu lar in terva ls. B ecause of these v ariation s, the com p osition of the labor fo r c e d iffe rs m a teria lly in each type of printing establishm ent.

Hourly s c a le s of unionized w o rk e rs in the printing tra des, on July 1, 1959, averaged $2. 96 fo r c o m m e r c ia l shops and $3. 40 fo r new spaper plants. A verage ra tes fo r nightshift w o rk e rs on new spapers w ere 22 cents higher than fo r d a y -sh ift w o r k e rs— $3. 51 com pa red with $3. 29 (table 7). B ecau se r e l atively few w o rk e rs a re em ployed on nightw ork in b ook and jo b shops, in form ation fo r such w o rk e rs was excluded fr o m the survey.

The city and r e gional a v era ges, h ow ever, w ere influenced not only by d iffe r e n c e s in ra tes am ong citie s and re g io n s, but a lso by d iffe re n ce s in the p ro p o rtio n o f organ ized w o rk e rs in the v a r ious c r a fts. Thus, a pa rticu la r c ra ft or c la s sifica tio n m ay not be organ ized in som e a rea s or m ay be organ ized le s s in ten sively in som e a re a s than in oth ers; and, a lso, certa in types of w ork w ere found in som e a re a s but not in oth ers, or to a g rea ter extent in som e area s than in oth ers. These d iffe re n ce s w ere r e fle cte d in the weighting of individual rates by the num ber o f union m e m b e rs at the rate. Hence, even though ra tes fo r a ll individual cra fts in two a re a s m ay be iden tical, the a v era ge fo r a ll cra fts com bin ed in each area m ay d iffe r. When the 53 c itie s included in the s u r vey w e re grouped a cco rd in g to population size , a vera ge union hou rly ra tes fo r c o m m e r c ia l shops ranged fr o m $3.15 in the group of c itie s with 1, 000, 000 or m o re population to $2. 75 in th ose c itie s o f 100, 000—250, 000 (the sm a lle st siz e group studied).

F or the two in term ediate siz e groups (250,000 to 500,000 and 500,000 to 1, 000, 000), the a v era g es approxim ated each other in both types of printing establish m ents— $ 2 .8 8 and $ 2 .8 7 fo r c o m m e r c ia l w ork and $3. 36 and $3.39 fo r new spaper w ork (table 8). T here was an overlapping o f average sca le s am ong c itie s in the d ifferen t siz e popu lation groups fo r each type of printing.
