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.
