Preface
The Bureau of Labor Statistics conducts annual
surveys of wage rates and scheduled hours of work for
specified crafts or jobs as provided in labor-m anagem en t
agreem ents in four in d u stries:
Building construction,
printing, local transit, and local trucking.
The studies
present the wage rates in effect as of July 1 of each year,
as reported to the Bureau by the appropriate local labor
organizations in each of the cities included in the survey.
Information on the union scales and hours p r e ­
vailing for the printing trades in each city is available in
October of each year on request to the Bureau's regional
o ffice s, as shown on the inside back cover.
A relea se
sum m arizing the rates for the printing trades on a nation­
wide basis was issued in M arch 1964. This analysis p r o ­
vides additional data and indexes of the trend of wages and
hours for the period 1907—63.
This study was conducted in the B ureau's D iv i­
sion of National Wage and Salary Income by Norman J.
Sam uels, Chief of the D ivision, under the general direction
of L. R. Linsenm ayer, A ssistan t C o m m ission er for Wages
and Industrial R elations.
The analysis was prepared by
Thomas C. M obley, under the im m ediate supervision of
John F . L acisk ey.
Field work for the survey was d i­
rected by the A ssistan t Regional D irecto rs for Wages and
Industrial Relations.

Union Wages and Hours:
Printing Industry, July 1, 1963
Summary

Scope and Method of Study

Hourly wage scales of organized printing
trades workers in cities of 100, 000 or more
population rose 10 cents or 2.9 percent, on
the average, during the year ending July 1,
1963. The advance was 10 cents in both book
and job shops and newspaper establishments
according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics
annual survey of union scales in the printing
industry.

Union scales are those agreed on through
collective bargaining between trade unions
and employers, and defined as (l) the basic
(minimum) wage scales (excluding holiday,
vacation, or other benefit payments regularly
made or credited to the worker each pay
period) and ( 2) the maximum schedules of
hours at straight-time rates. Rates in excess
of the negotiated minimum, which may be paid
for special qualifications or other reasons,
are not included.

Negotiated scale changes which became
effective between July 1, 1962, and July 1,
1963, raised the hourly scale for nine-tenths
of the printing craftsmen covered by the
survey. Increases varied from 8 to 10 cents
for slightly more than a fourth of the work­
e r s ;1 10 to 12 cents for almost another fourth;
6 to 8 cents for about a twelfth; and 12 to
15 cents for a tenth. The hourly advance was
15 cents or more for a sixth of the printing
craftsmen. The increased scales represented
gains of 2 to 3 percent for two-fifths of the
workers, of 3 to 4 percent for a fifth, of
4 to 5 percent for an eighth; and of 5 percent
or more for almost a twelfth.

The information presented in this bulletin
was based on union scales in effect on July 1,
1963, and covered approximately 109, 000
printing trades workers in 62 cities with pop­
ulations of 100, 000 or m ore. Data were ob­
tained primarily from local union officials
by mail questionnaire; in some instances,
Bureau economists visited local union offi­
cials to obtain the desired information.
The current survey reflects union wage
scales in the printing industry in all cities
of 100, 000 or more population.
All cities
with 500, 000 or more population were in­
cluded, as were most cities in the 250, 000 to
500, 000 group. The cities in the 100, 000 to
250, 000 group selected for study were d is­
tributed widely throughout the United States.
Data for some of the cities included in the
study were weighted to compensate for cities
not surveyed.
To provide appropriate rep­
resentation in the combination of data, each
geographic region was considered separately
when city weights were assigned.

As a result of the widespread rate re ­
visions, union hourly scales on July 1, 1963,
averaged $ 3. 52 for all printing trades work­
ers combined— $ 3. 37 in book and job shops
and $ 3 .7 5 in newspaper plants. Half of the
rinting tradesmen had negotiated rates of
3. 40 to $ 4 an hour and a fifth had rates of
$ 4 or more.
Straight-time weekly work schedules av­
eraged 36. 5 hours on July 1, 1963, unchanged
from the previous year.
The predominant
workweek was, however, 37 l/z hours, which
applied to 44 percent of the printing crafts­
men. Straight-time workweeks of 36^4 hours
were specified for 28 percent of the workers
and of 35 hours for 22 percent.

Average hourly scales, indicating current
levels, were based on all scales reported in
effect on July 1, 1963. Individual scales were
weighted by the number of union members at
each rate. These averages are not designed
for precise year-to-year comparisons because
of fluctuations in membership and in job cla s­
sifications studied. Average cents per hour
and percent changes from July 1, 1962, to
July 1, 1963, were, however, based on com­
parable quotations for the various occupa­
tional classifications in both periods, weighted
by the membership reported for the cur­
rent (1963) survey.
The index series, pro­
viding long-term trend data, is similarly
constructed.

Health and welfare (insurance) programs
financed wholly or in part by the employers
were specified in labor-management agree­
ments applicable to four-fifths of the printing
tradesmen. Similarly financed pension plans
were provided in contracts covering almost
three-fifths of the workers.

1 For ease o f reading, in this and subsequent discussions of
tabulations, the limits o f the class intervals are designated as 8 to
10 cents, 3 to 4 percent, etc. , instead o f using the more precise
term inology, 8 and under 10 cents, 3 and under 4 percent, etc.

2
Trend and Scale Changes
Rate revisions effective between July 1,
1962, and July 1, 1963, as provided in labormanagement agreements, raised the level
of union hourly scales for printing trades
workers 2, 9 percent. This rise, which was
the same as that recorded in the preceding
12-month period, advanced the Bureau’ s index
(1957—59*100) to 116.2 (table 1). Reflected in
the advance were gains of 3 percent in book
and jo b (c o m m e r c ia l) shops and 2. 8 percent
in newspaper establishments, which raised
the indexes for those branches of the industry
to 117. 4 and 114,4, respectively.
The rate of advance varied among the
individual trades in both types of printing
establishments.
The variation was slightly
wider in commercial shops than in newspaper
plants. Among the 12 trades in book and job
shops, gains ranged from 2. 3 percent for
electrotypers and stereotypers to 3. 6 percent
for bindery women; and among the 8 crafts
in newspaper plants, from 2. 1 percent for
pressrnen-in-ch&rge to 3 percent for m ailers
(table 5).
In cents per hour, scales rose 10 cents, on
the average, in both branches of the industry.
Among individual trades, however, average
hourly scale advances in commercial printing
establishments ranged from 7 cents for bind­
ery women to 12 cents for machine tenders
(machinists); and in newspaper plants, from
8 cents for pressm en-in-charge to 11 cents
for machine operators and photoengravers.
Many of the union contracts in effect on
July 1, 1963, were negotiated for 2 years— a
few were for longer periods.
Contracts of
more than a year’ s duration frequently pro­
vide for wage reopenings or contain provi­
sions for periodic increases.
Although in­
dividual contracts provided for increases at
various dates, only those scale changes that
actually became effective between July 1,
1962, and July 1, 1963, were included in the
current study. Some of these scale revisions
were provided for in contracts which became
effective prior to July 1, 1962. A number of
agreements negotiated during the year ending
July 1, 1963, contain provisions for rate in­
creases after July 1, 196 3. Thus, the scale
revisions presented herein do not reflect the
total wage scale changes negotiated in indi­
vidual contracts during the survey year.
During the year ending July 1, 1963,
hourly scales were increased for nine-tenths
of the printing craftsmen in book and job
shops and for a like proportion of those in




newspaper establishments.
Rates were ad­
vanced for seven-eighths of the workers in
each of the trades except two in commercial
shops and of one in newspaper plants.
Increases in hourly scales between July 1,
1962, and July 1, 1963, for book and job shop
work varied from 8 to 10 cents for almost a
fourth of the workers and 10 to 12 cents for
the same proportion. Advances of 15 cents or
more and of less than 8 cents were each r e ­
ported for a sixth. In newspaper establish­
ments, hourly scales rose 8 to 10 cents for
a third of the craftsmen; 10 to 12 cents for
almost a fourth; 12 to 15 cents for a tenth;
and 15 cents or more for a sixth (table 4).
Advances during the 12-month period rep­
resented gains of 2 to 3 percent for a third of
the workers in commercial shops and slightly
more than half of those in newspaper plants,
of 3 to 4 percent for a fourth and a sixth,
respectively, and of 4 to 5 percent for a sixth
of the book and job shop workers and a twelfth
of those on newspaper. The gain was 5 p er­
cent or more for a twelfth of the workers in
both types of shops (table 3).
Rate Variations by Type of Work
Commercial (book and job) printshops
produce many different items in varying quan­
tities; newspaper establishments, on the other
hand, are geared to mass production of a
single recurring item at regular intervals.
Because of these variations, the composition
of the labor force differs materially in the
two branches of the printing industry.
A
substantial proportion of the labor force in
commercial shops is comprised of bindery
women, m ailers, and press assistants and
feeders, who typically perform routine and
less skilled tasks; in newspaper printing,
however, journeymen are required in greater
proportions to meet daily demands.
These
different work force requirements are r e ­
flected in the average rates, which take into
account the number of printing trades work­
ers at the various rates of pay in each type of
establishment.

Union hourly wage scales of printing
trades workers, on July 1, 1963, averaged
$ 3 .3 7 in book and job shops and $ 3 .7 5 in
newspaper plants. Nightwork scales in news­
paper establishments averaged 21 cents, or
5. 8 percent, higher than daywork scales,
$3.85 compared with $3.64 (table 7). Because
relatively few workers are employed on nightwork in commercial shops, data for such
workers were excluded from the study.

D

Although daywork scales averaged higher
in newspaper establishments than in com m er­
cial shops, there was no consistent pattern
of rate differentials among occupational c la s­
sifications common to both types of printing.
Daywork scales for m ailers averaged 13 cents
an hour more in newspaper plants than in
book and job shops.
Stereotypers and pho­
toengravers on commercial work averaged
35 and 31 cents an hour, respectively, above
those on newspaper work.
Negotiated rates in effect on July 1, 1963,
for printing trades workers varied widely for
both types of printing. In book and job shops,
daywork scales varied from $ 1 .5 5 an hour
for bindery women and some platen press
assistants and feeders in Memphis to $ 5 .2 1
an hour for first pressmen on 4-color 76-inch
offset presses in Boston.
Wage scales of
$3 to $ 3 . 50 an hour were specified in labormanagement agreements for a fourth of the
printing trades workers in book and job shops
and of $ 3 .5 0 to $ 4 for a third.
Negotiated
rates of $ 4 or more were reported for a
sixth of the workers, including some workers
in all trades except bindery women and press
assistants and feeders. Three-fourths of the
photoengravers had scales of $ 4 or.more an
hour as did two-fifths of the stereotypers,
a slightly larger proportion of the electro­
typers, almost a fifth of the machine opera­
tors, and about a sixth of the hand composi­
tors and machine tenders (machinists). Rates
of less than $ 2 .4 0 an hour were reported for
a sixth of the commercial shop workers, in­
cluding seven-eighths of the bindery women,
nearly a fifth of the m ailers, and a small
proportion of workers in four other crafts.
Among bindery women, nearly half had scales
of less than $ 2 an hour and a fifth had rates
of $2 to $ 2 . 20 (table 7).
In newspaper establishments, hourly wage
scales varied from $ 1 .4 7 for some day-shift
m ailers in Norfolk to $ 5 .4 4 for night-shift
stereotypers on German and Polish language
newspapers in Chicago. Wage rates of $ 3. 50
to $ 4 were specified in contracts for nearly
three-fifths of the day-shift workers and for
slightly less than half of the night-shift crafts­
men.
Scales of $ 4 or more applied to an
eighth of the day workers and three-eighths of
the nightworkers; some workers in each of
the eight covered trades had such scales.
Three-fifths of the pressm en-in-charge and
almost the same proportion of photoengravers
had negotiated scales of at least $ 4 an hour,
as did a third of machine operators and m a­
chine tenders (machinists) and a fourth of
the hand compositors and pressmen.
Among the 12 printing trades surveyed
in book and job shops, average hourly scales,




except for bindery women ($ 2 .0 8 ) and press
assistants and feeders ($ 3 .0 2 ), varied from
$ 3 .2 0 for m ailers to $ 4 .3 0 for photoen­
gravers.
Of the remaining e i g h t trades,
stereotypers and electrotypers had averages
of $ 3 .9 7 and $ 3 .9 2 , respectively, and four
others ranged from $3 .6 3 to $ 3 .7 1 . In news­
paper plants, scales averaged lowest ($ 3 .4 8 )
for mailers, and highest ($ 4 .0 7 ) for photo­
engravers.
Except for pressm en-in-charge
($ 4 .0 5 ), average scales for the other news­
paper crafts showed little variation, ranging
from $ 3 . 7 4 t o $ 3 . 8 1 an hour.

Nightwork scales on newspapers averaged
21 cents an hour, or 5. 8 percent, above day­
work scales. Among individual trades, dif­
ferentials favoring night-shift workers ranged
from 17 to 30 cents. In terms of percentage,
differentials varied from 4. 3 to 8. 3 percent.
City Variations
Labor-management contract provisions
which became effective between July 1, 1962,
and July 1, 1963, resulted in increased wage
scales for some printing craftsmen in each
of the cities surveyed. Scales for newspaper
work in Portland, however, remained un­
changed and no union scales were reported
for commercial work in Charlotte.
In book
and job shops, hourly scales rose 6 to 8 cents
in 17 cities; 8 to 10 cents in a similar number;
10 to 12 cents in 11 cities; 4 to 6 cents in
10 cities; and 12 cents or more in 5 cities.
In newspaper plants, the advance was 8 to
10 cents in 21 cities; 10 to 12 cents in
12 cities; 6 to 8 cents in 8 cities; and 12 or
more cents in 14 cities.
These increases
represented gains of 2 to 3 percent for book
and job printing in 27 cities and for news­
paper work in 31 cities, of 3 to 4 percent in
12 and 13 cities, respectively. Gains of less
than 2 percent were recorded in 16 cities for
commercial work and in 10 cities for news­
paper work (table 6).
The

city averages

presented

in table
levels of
rates; they do not measure differences in
union scales among areas. Scales for indi­
vidual crafts, of course, varied from city
to city.
The city averages, however, were
influenced not only by differences in rates
among cities, but also by differences in the
proportion of organized workers in the v ar­
ious crafts. Thus, a particular craft or c la s­
sification may not be organized in some areas
or may be organized less intensively in some
areas than in others.
In addition, certain
types of work were found in some areas but

8 were designed to show current

4
not in others.
These differences were r e ­
flected in the weighting of individual rates by
the number of union members at the rate.
Hence, even though rates for all individual
crafts in two areas may be identical, the
average for all crafts combined in each area
may differ.

Standard Workweek
Changes in negotiated weekly work sched­
ules at straight-time rates between July 1,
1962, and July 1, 1963, affected relatively
few workers.
The reported changes had no
effect on the average straight-time workweek,
which remained at 36. 5 hours for all printing
trades workers combined. Day-shift sched­
ules averaged 36. 5 hours in book and job
shops and 36 .9 hours in newspaper estab­
lishments; night-shift workers in newspaper
plants had an average weekly schedule of 36. 1
hours (table 9).
The most common straight-time work­
week, 37 l/z hours, affected two-fifths of the
book and job shop workers and almost half
of those in newspaper establishments.
Ne­
gotiated weekly schedules of 36V4 hours were
specified for three-tenths and a fourth of the
printing craftsmen in book and job shops and
newspaper p l a n t s , respectively.
Standard
workweeks of 35 hours or less were in effect
for a fourth of the workers in both types of
printing establishments.

Health, Insurance, and Pension Plans
Negotiated health, insurance, and pension
programs in the printing industry have in­
creased in recent years, although less rapidly




than in some industries .2 The rate of devel­
opment has undoubtedly been influenced by
programs operated by a number of unions for
many years, which provide members with one
or more types of benefits.
Labor-management agreements providing
for health and insurance programs affected
more workers than did those containing pro­
visions for pension plans— four-fifths com ­
pared with slightly less than three-fifths.
Health and insurance programs were appli­
cable to 5 of every 6 workers in book and
job shops and to 3 of every 4 on newspaper
work.
Pension plans affected about threefifths of the workers in commercial shops
and s l i g h t l y more than half of those on
newspapers.
Of the printing tradesmen provided health
and insurance protection, seven-eighths were
covered by plans entirely financed by the em ­
ployer. Such plans were included in agree­
ments affecting nine-tenths of the commercial
shop workers and almost four-fifths of those
on newspapers. Employer-financed pension
plans prevailed for nine-tenths of the printing
craftsmen covered by labor -management con­
tracts providing for such plans.
This pro­
portion prevailed for both book and job shops
and newspaper establishments.
Union Scales by City and Trade
Table 12 presents the union scales of
wages and hours in effect on July 1, 1962,
and July 1, 1963, for the individual trades in
each of the 62 cities included in the study.

2 The prevalence o f negotiated health, insurance, and
pension programs in the printing industry was first studied by the
Bureau as o f July 1, 1954. Information gathered on these plans
was restricted to those financed entirely or in part by the em ­
ployer. Plans financed by workers through union dues or assess­
ments were excluded. No attempt was made to secure information
on the kind and extent o f benefits provided or on the cost o f
plans providing such benefits.
