Price 20 cents Union Wages and Hours in the Building Trades, July 1,1947 Summary cost o f living and demand for labor, led to further rate changes following the removal o f wage con trols on November 9, 1946. The increase o f 15 percent between 1946 and 1947 is the largest annual gain since 1920. On July 1, 1947, the index of hourly wage rates for all building trades was 147.9 (1939=100); for journeymen 144.6, and for helpers and laborers 171.1.1 Throughout the 8-year period from 1939 to 1947, the index of weekly hours prior to payment o f overtime rates for all building trades has shown only slight annual variations, usually of less than 1 percent. The typical maximum schedule on July 1, 1947, was a 5-day, 40-hour week, despite the return to shorter workweeks of 30 and 35 hours for some trades in several cities. Roughly, 8,500 workers benefited by a lower schedule. Agreements to work longer hours without premium pay because of the current heavy construction program were rarely reported and covered only a negligible number of the union members in the industry. However, even in the peak months of construction activity during the past year, the standard work schedules have been disrupted by widespread shortages of lumber, steel, and other building materials, as well as by adverse weather and other conditions peculiar to the industry. Hours worked by all employees (union and non union, skilled, unskilled, time clerks, etc.) on private on-site construction projects averaged 37.9 per week in July 1947.* Average weekly hours were about the same in the preceding year. Basic hourly wage rates o f union workers in the building construction industry increased almost 15 percent between July 1, 1946, and July 1, 1947, according to reports received by the Bureau of Labor Statistics in the course of its annual union wage surveys. The increase, amounting to about 25 cents an hour, brought the general average of minimum pay for more than 700,000 union trades men to $1.91, 48 percent above the 1939 average. Higher wage scales negotiated through collec tive bargaining between July 1,1947, and January 2,1948, resulted in a gain of about 3 percent for all trades combined; the further increases in wage rates primarily affected journeymen. In this 6month period, the average rate o f pay for painters increased more than 4 percent— about 8 cents an hour— the largest gain reported for an individual trade. While the amounts o f increase ranged from 2X to 56 cents an hour, 40 percent of the trades men whose pay scales were boosted received from 25 to 30 cents an hour, and 26 percent from 10 to 15 cents. Wage rates of about half of the union electricians and a third of the carpenters and brush painters were advanced. Electricians generally received 12K- or 25-cent hourly increases, car penters most frequently gained 25 cents. Over half o f the painters whose rates advanced were in New York City, and they received 30 cents an hour. Larger increases affected relatively few workers— a small number of bricklayers, painters, plasterers, and plumbers. The highest pay rate advance for building laborers was 20 cents, the lowest 2% cents, but the most common amounts received were either 5 or 15 cents. From June 1, 1939 to July 1, 1945, during the wartime period of substantial general wage and price changes in American industry, hourly rates o f union workers in the building trades rose 16 percent. In the following year July 1, 1945, to July 1, 1946, rates advanced about 11 percent; practically all of the higher pay scales became effective after the end of the war in August 1945. Union efforts to improve basic rates and working conditions, coupled with sharp increases in the The Individual Trades The over-all average hourly rate on July 1, 1947, for journeymen was $2.04; for helpers and laborers, $1.31. Union rates o f carpenters and building laborers, the two most important crafts numerically, averaged $2 and $1.23, respectively. 1In the index series designed for trend determination purposes, year-toyear changes in union scales are based on comparable quotations for the various occupations in both years. All rates reported for the current year are used in computing the averages, and thus, they are not an exact measure for time-to-time comparisons. JSource: Monthly Labor Review-Current Labor Statistics, table C-3. a ) 2 Bricklayers were at the top of the wage ladder with an average of $2.37, while composition roofers had the lowest minimum among journey men, $1.89. In the helper and laborer classifica tions, average minimum rates varied from $1.63 for terrazzo workers’ helpers to $1.10 for composi tion roofers’ helpers. Composition roofers, journeymen and helpers, have typically had the lowest average rate among the trades studied by the Bureau, and bricklayers and plasterers usually had the highest journeymen rate. Because of the expanded construction program, scarcity of labor and competitive bidding for skilled workmen, rate differentials between journeyman, and helper and laborer trades were considerably greater in 1947 than in 1946. It should be noted, however, that the contrasts which follow reflect, to some extent, the increased number o f union members benefiting by higher scales in 1947 than in 1946 as well as changes in the contract scales.8 For example: In all cities combined on July 1, 1947, there was a 48-cent difference between the average rates for brick layers and composition roofers. In 1946, the rate differential between the two journeyman trades was 44 cents; bricklayers averaged $2.06 and com position roofers, $1.62. Similarly, the difference between the average rates o f terrazzo workers’ helpers and composition roofers’ helpers was greater in 1947 than in 1946; 63 as compared with 37 cents. If comparisons are drawn between journeyman and helper classifications the maxi mum difference in cents an hour is more pro nounced. T o illustrate, the differential in rates of bricklayers and bricklayers’ tenders in 1947 was 92 cents; in 1946, 82 cents. The extent of increase in hourly wage rates between July 1, 1946 and July 1, 1947 for the individual trades studied was at least 10 percent; and for 16 occupations, more than 15 percent. W hile only 3 percent (about 20,000) of all the workers studied did not receive a wage increase, the only trade in which the entire membership in all cities received wage boosts was plumbers and gas fitters. The contract scale for some of the trades in many cities was increased several times within a 12-month period, reflecting rapid increases * In computing average rates and net changes, the individual rates for 1946 and 1947 were weighted by the membership working or available for work at each rate. Larger percentage increases will be reflected among those trades and cities with relatively low wage scales which result in smaller centsper-hour increases in the rates. in costs of consumers’ goods and a fairly tight labor market. In Newark, N. J., for example, the union rate for building laborers was $1.40 on July 1, 1946, 16 cents above the July 1945 rate. On July 25, 1946, the Wage Adjustment Board approved an increase of 10 cents an hour. B y January 1, 1947, the rate had advanced to $1.55 and by July 1, to $1.75. Electricians (inside wiremen) in Indianapolis provide another illustration with rates of $1.70, $1.85, $1.95, and $2.10 in effect on July 1, 1946, in August and November 1946 and M ay 1947, respectively.*4 B y contrast, from July 1, 1941, until July 1, 1946, the union rate of the Indianapolis electricians was increased only 20 cents an hour; for the Newark building laborers the net change was 27K cents. City and Regional Levels Because collective bargaining is at the local level in the industry there is no consistent pattern in the relationship of rates from one city to another except where the jurisdiction of unions are fairly extensive and cover a State or several adjacent cities. Unions with a large proportion of the local craftsmen affiiliated, of course, have a more favor able bargaining position and consequently negoti ate higher wage rates. This explains in part the fact that rates are typically higher in the larger cities and in the North and Pacific region. The level of rates for the various trades is directly associated with the size and location of the city. However, the relative positions of the cities within designated population groups is not the same except in the cases of New York City, Chicago, Newark, and Butte, M ont. Historically, union members in New York City and Newark have had a higher minimum rate than those in other cities and in many trades a shorter work week. In 1947, the over-all average for buildingtrades workers in New York City and Newark, was $2.43 and $2.38, respectively. Chicago has been second to New Y ork City, among the cities with over 1,000,000 population. On the other hand, Butte, M ont., has a unique position. The wage level in Butte, probably the most highly unionized city surveyed with less than 100,000 population is outstanding since its average rate exceeds the level of some cities in every size 4 These rates are obtained through the Bureau’s periodic surveys of seven selected building trades. 3 class. Kates for journeymen, for example, aver aging $1.98, were topped only in 17 of the major cities surveyed. The Butte average for helpers and laborers of $1.34 was 21 cents higher than the level in Philadelphia and, in all, fell below the level in 21 cities which were all located in the North and Pacific region. Portland, Maine, had the lowest city average for journeymen ($1.53) but there were 16 other cities, primarily in the Southeast, with average rates below $1.75. There were also 15 Southern cities in which the average rate for helpers and laborers was less than $1; Jackson, M iss., with a rate of 74 cents was lowest among the 75 cities studied. Dallas and Los Angeles showed the greatest rela tive gain over the year for all trades combined, more than 22 percent. Every trade in the 2 cities registered an increase of at least 10 cents, and the numerically important carpenters negotiated wage increases of 40 cents an hour. Lowest percentage gains were recorded for Portland, Maine, (3 per cent) and Pittsburgh, Pa. (8 percent). In both cities, the rise in journeymen rates was compara tively small and among the helper and laborer occupations, less than 1 percent. In all but 19 widely scattered cities, the percentage increases in rates of helpers and laborers were greater than for journeymen. Twelve of the nineteen cities were located in the Southern region where the degree of unionization among the helpers and laborers has generally been lower than among the journeymen crafts. Regional comparisons can be made only for cities in 3 smaller size groups, III (250,000 to 500,000 population); IV (100,000 to 250,000 popula tion); and V (40,000 to 100,000 population), since all cities with a population of 500,000 or more are located in the North and Pacific region. In each size class, union rates in the North and Pacific region are substantially above the average for all trades in the South and Southwest area. M ore over, with the exception of journeymen in group III cities and helpers and laborers in group V, rate differences between the 2 regions were greater in 1947 than in 1946. Because of shifts in union membership which may occur and would, of course, influence the level of rates, these compari sons only afford a rough approximation of regional differences. The differential in favor of helpers and laborers in group IV cities (100,000 to 250,000) of the North and Pacific region was 40 cents in 1947 as compared with 24 cents in 1946. Although there was also an over-all difference of 10 cents in smaller cities (group V ) in 8 individual trades the Southern union workers had an advan tage of 1 to 12 cents. This is due in part to the relatively lower wage level in Portland, M aine; York, P a.; and Manchester, N. H., than in the Southern cities included in the group. Scope and Method of Study This bulletin is based on effective union scales as of July 1, 1947, covering 570,284 journeymen and 131,062 helpers and laborers employed in 75 cities ranging in population from 40,000 to over 1,000,000. Union scales are defined as the mini mum wage rate or maximum schedule of hours agreed upon through collective bargaining be tween employers and trade unions. Rates in excess of the agreed minimum which may be paid to union members because of long service, special qualifications, or other reasons, are not included. Data were obtained primarily from mail ques tionnaires instead of through visits of field repre sentatives to local union officials, the collection technique formerly used by the Bureau. Within a 6-week period, over four-fifths of the 1,499 union officials included in the survey returned completed reports and most sent copies of their signed agree ment with employers which specified their basic wage scale. Data from the local union officials who did not respond were collected by field representatives. 4 T able 1.— Indexes o f union hourly wage rates in all building trades, 1907 to 1947 [June X, 1939=100] Year AH trades Journeymen Helpers and laborers Year All trades Helpers and laborers Journeymen 1907.. 1908.. 1909.. 1910.. 1911.. 29.3 31.2 32.7 34.0 34.5 29.7 31.6 33.2 34.6 35.2 27.3 28.5 29.5 30.5 30.6 1927................................................ 1928............................................... 1929................................................ 1930................................................ 1931................................................ 91.3 91.9 93.1 97.0 97.3 91.7 92.4 93.6 97.5 97.8 86.4 87.3 88.8 93.3 92.8 1912.. 19131914. 1915. 1916. 35.3 36.1 36.9 37.2 38.4 36.0 36.9 37.7 38.0 39.3 30.9 31.8 32.1 32.4 33.5 1932................................................ 1933............................................... 1934................................................ 1935............................................... 1936................................................ 83.1 80.8 81.4 82.3 85.3 83.6 81.4 81.8 82.8 85.5 79.2 75.7 77.9 78.3 82.9 1917. 1918. 19191920. 1921. 40.8 45.3 51.9 70.0 71.3 41.5 45.9 52.4 70.1 71.4 36.8 42.6 49.3 71.5 72.2 1937................................................ 1938............................................... 1939................................................ 1940............................................... 1941................................................ 91.2 99.3 100.0 101.6 105.3 91.4 99.3 100.0 101.4 105.0 90.1 99.2 100.0 102.0 106.8 1922. 1923. 1924. 19251926- 66.9 73.9 79.8 82.9 88.3 67.3 74.2 80.1 83.1 88.7 65.7 69.7 75.4 77.9 84.9 1942............................................... 1943............................................... 1944................................................ 1945................................................ 1946............................................... 1947................................................ 111.9 112.7 113.6 116.0 129.3 147.9 110.9 111.5 112.4 114.4 126.8 144.6 117.5 118.9 120.3 125.9 146.3 171.1 T able 2.— Indexes o f union hourly wage rates in each building trade, 1907 to 1947 [June 1,1939=100] Year 1907— 1908— 1909.. 1910— 1911.. 1912.. 1913— 1914.. 1915.. 1916.. 1917.. 1918— 1919— 1920.. 1921.. 1922.. 1923— 1924— 1925.. 1926— 1927— 1928.. 1929— 1930— 1931.. 1932.. 1933.. 1934.. 1935.. 1936.. 1937— 1938— 1939.. 1940— 1941.. 1942.. 1943— 1944.. 1945— 1946.. 1947- Asbes Boiler tos workers makers . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
