Union Wages and Hours in the Building Trades, July 1, 1955' Summary neymen and 165, 000 helpers and laborers in 52 cities with populations of 1 0 0 , 0 0 0 or more. Data were obtained primarily from local union officials by mail questionnaire; in some in stances, Bureau representatives visited local union officials to obtain the desired information. Wage scales of union building-trades work ers in cities of 1 0 0 , 0 0 0 or more population continued upward during the 12 months ending July 1, 1955, as construction activity main tained record levels. Union rates rose, on the average, 10 cents an hour, or 3.5 per cent, between July 1, 1954, and July 1, 1955, according to the 49th annual survey of union scales in the building trades by the U. S. De partment of Labors Bureau of Labor Statistics. For most of the 33 trades surveyed, hourly rates advanced 8 to 11 cents. The current survey was designed to re flect union wage scales in the building con struction industry in all cities of 1 0 0 , 0 0 0 or more population. All cities with a half million or more population were included, as were most cities in the population group of 250,000 to 500,000. The cities in the 100,000 to 250,000 group selected for study were distributed widely throughout the United States. The data for some of the cities included in the study were weighted in order to compensate for the other cities which were not surveyed. In order to provide appropriate representation in the combination of data, each geographic region and population group was considered separately when city weights were assigned. Upward adjustments resulting from labormanagement contract negotiations affected about 87 percent of the construction workers included in the study. Increases varied typically from 5 to 15 cents, although the hourly advances were from 15 to 20 cents for about a fifth of the workers. Union hourly scales on July 1, 1955, aver aged $2.90 for all building-trades workers studied, $3.09 for journeymen, and $ 2 . 16 for helpers and laborers. Negotiated rates of $2.80 to $3.30 an hour prevailed for nearly three-fifths of the journeymen, and of $ 2 to $2.50, for a like proportion of the helpers and laborers. Average hourly scales, designed to show current levels, are based on all scales re ported in effect on July 1, 1955. Individual scales are weighted by number of union mem bers having each rate. These averages are not designed for precise year-to-year com parisons because of fluctuations in member ship and in job classifications studied. Aver age cents per hour and percent changes from July 1, 1954, to July 1, 1955, are based on comparable quotations for the various occupa tional classifications in both periods weighted by the membership reported for the current survey. The index series, designed for trend purposes, is similarly constructed. Straight-time weekly hour s for all buildingtrades workers studied averaged 39.4, un changed from the previous year. Seven of every 8 construction workers had a 40-hour straight-time work schedule. Negotiated health and insurance plans cov ered slightly more than three-fifths of the surveyed workers. Pension programs were provided in labor-management contracts ap plicable to a sixth of the workers. Recent Trend of Union Waae Scales The increase of 3.5 percent in union scales for building-trades workers in the year ending July 1, 1955, advanced the Bureaus index (1947-49 = 1 0 0 ) of union hourly rates to 141.2 (table l). The rate of advance during the year was slightly below the 3.7-percent gain achieved in the preceding 1 2 -month period, and it was the smallest annual rate of increase, since the close of World War II. The increase reflected advances of 3.4 percent for journeymen and 4.3 percent for helpers and laborers (table 3). Scone and Method of Study Union scales are defined as the minimum wage scales or maximum schedules of hours agreed upon through collective bargaining be tween trade unions and employers. Rates in excess of the negotiated minimum, which may be paid for special qualifications or other reasons, are not included. In terms of cents per hour, the advance between July 1, 1954, and July 1, 1955, was identical with the gain recorded in the previous year. The rise in both 12-month periods amounted to 10 cents for journeymen---- the same as for all building-trades workers— and 9 cents for helpers and laborers, compared with a 13-cent increase for each group in the year ending July 1, 1953. The information presented in this report was based on union scales in effect on July 1, 1955, and covered approximately 680,000 jour-1 1 Prepared by John F . L aciskey of the Bureau* s Division of W ages and Industrial Relations. 1 2 On a regional basis, average scale ad vances for journeymen were generally uniform. They ranged from 9 to IOV2 cents in all re gions except the Mountain and New England States. In these regions, average scales rose 6 and 12 cents, respectively. The advances represented gains of 2.2 percent in the Moun tain region, 4. 3 percent in New England, and from 3.0 to 3. 6 percent in the other regions. Helpers and laborers recorded their greatest gain (10. 8 cents or 6 . 2 percent) in the Border States. The advances varied between 6 V2 and IOV2 cents, or from 3.4 to 5.8 percent, in all other regions except the Southwest where the gain amounted to 3 cents, or 2.1 percent (table 6 ). Scale changes in the building industry result primarily from contract negotiations. Many of the contracts currently in effect were negotiated for 2 years— a few were for longer periods. Frequently the multiyear contracts provided for scale increases at stated inter vals. Although provisions of individual con tracts may become effective at various times throughout the year, many contracts are nego tiated in the spring and early summer months. The proportion of workers benefiting from rate changes varied widely among the 33 in dividual trades surveyed. Over 60 percent of the workers in each trade, except two, had their scale adjusted upward during the year. Increased rates were reported for at least 90 percent of the workers in 13 trades. Among the individual journeymen trades studied, the average increases during the year ending July 1, 1955, varied from 7 cents for electricians and marble setters to 14 cents for machinists. Gains of 8 to 11 cents an hour were registered by 18 of the 24 journey men trades studied. Glaziers, rodmen, and structural-iron workers advanced their average scale 12 cents an hour during the year (table 3). Increases for the nine helper and laborer classifications were more uniform. They ranged from 8 cents for elevator constructors1 helpers to 13 cents for tile layers1 helpers. For 5 groups, including the numerically im portant group of building laborers, however, the average was 9 cents. Percentagewise, the increase amounted to 3.4 percent for all journeymen combined and varied from 2.3 to 4.6 percent among the in dividual journeymen crafts. The greater gains were generally registered by the lower paid trades. Hourly scales rose from 3.6 to 5.6 percent for the various helper and labor clas sifications with an average' of 4.3 percent. Marble setters1 helpers and tile layers1 helpers were the only groups that advanced their aver age scale more than 5 percent. Rates of 85 percent of the journeymen and 93 percent of the helpers and laborers were adjusted upward between July 1, 1954, and July 1, 1955. Although hourly raises of 5 to 20 cents were applicable to about 80 per cent of all unionized building-trades workers, the most frequent increases were 10 or 15 cents. Scale advances of 10 cents affected nearly a fourth of the journeymen and threetenths of the helpers and laborers; 15-cent in creases were reported for a sixth and a tenth, respectively. Of every 100 journeymen receiving scale increases, 22 received 5 to 10 cents an hour; 45 received 10 to 15 cents; and 25 received 15 to 20 cents. Among the helpers and la borers whose scales were advanced, 45 of every 100 received increases of 5 to 10 cents; 41 received 10 to 15 cents; and 11 received 15 to 2 0 cents an hour (table 5). The upward adjustments during the year represented increases of 2 to 3 percent for 13 of every 100 journeymen affected by scale revisions, of 3 to 4 percent for 21, of 4 to 5 percent for 35, and of 5 to 10 percent for 26. Of every 100 helpers and laborers re ceiving raises, 6 recorded gains of 2 to 3 percent; 13, of 3 to 4 percent; 39, of 4 to 5 percent; and 39, of 5 to 10 percent. Only 1 out of every 50 construction workers had ad vances of at least 10 percent (table 4). Hourly W.W Union rates in effect on July 1, 1955, for journeymen construction workers showed wide v a r i a t i o n . They ranged from $1.65 for glaziers in Charlotte, N. C ., to $4.05 for engineers operating cranes and derricks on steel erection in New York City. Spray painters in Louis ville, Ky. , were the only other workers re porting a scale of at least $4 an hour. Nearly 60 percent of the journeymen were affected by labor-management contracts providing scales of $ 2. 80 to $ 3. 30. Hourly rates of less than $2.80 were stipulated for 17 percent, and of $3.30 or more for 25 percent. Negotiated scales of at least $3.50 an hour prevailed for some workers (typically 10 percent or more) in 20 of the 24 journeymen trades surveyed. A fifth of the bricklayers and a seventh of the plasterers were reported as having scales of $3.70 or more an hour. Small groups of workers, generally fewer than 7 percent, in 12 trades had rates of less than $2.40 an hour; glaziers and composition roofers were the only trades in which the proportion exceeded 10 percent (table 7). For all journeymen crafts combined, the average scale was $3.09 an hour. Among the 24 individual trades, 18 had average rates in excess of $3 an hour. Bricklayers were the highest paid craft with an average hourly scale 3 of $3.48 and glaziers, averaging $2.77 an hour, were the lowest. Plasterers, stone masons, and lathers were other journeymen trades which had average scales exceeding $3.25 an hour. Paperhangers and composition roofers were the only other crafts to average less than $2.90 an hour. Individual scales for helpers and laborers varied from $ 1 for building laborers in Jack sonville, Fla., to $3.35 for plasterers* la borers in Brooklyn, N. Y. Hourly scales of $ 2 to $2.50 prevailed for a majority (59 per cent) of the helpers and laborers. Rates of less than $1.50 an hour were applicable to only 7 percent and of $2.50 or more to 17 percent. Union scales averaged $2. 16 an hour for all helpers and laborers as a group and by trade classification, from $1.96 for com position roofers1 helpers to $2.45 for plaster ers 1 laborers and terrazzo workers1 helpers. Building laborers, the largest group numeri cally, averaged $2. 07 an hour (table 7). City and Regional Variations Except in those instances where union jurisdiction covers broad geographic areas, scale negotiations in the building industry are generally conducted on a locality basis. Be cause of the industry^ essentially local nature, negotiated scales for the individual trades as well as the level of rates among cities and regions varied widely. For example, among the cities included in the survey, the spread in negotiated scales for cement finishers was from $2. 10 an hour in Charlotte, N. C ., to $3.85 in Newark, N. J. The range of rates among the 24 journeymen trades in 6 typica! cities is illustrated in the following tabulation: D ifferen ce in Cents C ity S c a le rang e per P ercen t hour Atlanta _________ _ B o s to n _____________ C h ic a g o _____ ____ D allas New Y o r k _______ _ San F r a n c is c o Oakland $ 1 .7 5 2 .

In the other 5 areas, it ranged from 30 cents in Boston to 94V2 cents in San FranciscoOakland. City and regional averages presented in this survey are de signed to show current levels of rates. They do not measure differences in union scales of the various crafts among areas. Scales for individual crafts differ from one city to another. The city and regional aver ages, however, are influenced not only by dif ferences in rates among cities and regions, but also by differences in the proportion of organized workers in the various crafts. For example, a particular craft or classification may not be organized in some areas or may be organized less intensively in some areas than in others; and, also, certain types of work are found in some areas but not in others or are found to a greater extent in some areas than in others. These differences are reflected in the weighting of individual rates by the num ber of workers employed. Therefore, even though all individual craft rates in two areas are identical, the average for all crafts com bined in each of the areas may differ. On a city basis, average hourly wage scales for construction trade workers varied widely. Among the 52 cities surveyed, aver age hourly scales for all journeymen combined ranged from $2.48 in Charlotte, N. C ., to $3.55 in Newark, N. J. Journeymen scales averaged in excess of $3 an hour in 22 cities and from $2.75 to $3 in 22 others. Half of those in the latter group had averages exceed ing $2.90 an hour. Average scales for helpers and laborers were highest in Newark, N. J. , ($2.78) and lowest in Charlotte, N. C., ($1.18). Scale levels of $2 or more prevailed for hel pers and laborers in 2 of every 3 cities stud ied; in half of these cities the levels were concentrated between $2.15 and $2.30 (table 8 ). When the cities were grouped by popula tion size, average hourly scales for construc tion workers differed by size of city. The average for the cities with a million or more population ($3.26) was 39 cents higher than for the group of cities with 100, 000 to 250, 000 population, the smallest size studied. For h e l p e r s an d l a b o r e r s , the d i f f e r e n c e w a s 45 cents— $2.40 as compared with $1.95. The spread between the average rates for journey men and for helpers and laborers in each citysize grouping closely approximated the national differential of 93 cents. Average hourly scales for both classifica tions of workers showed considerable variation among the cities within each population size. The range of average scales was wider for helpers and laborers than for journeymen in each grouping. The differences between the highest and lowest levels were greatest in the cities having populations of 250,000 to 500,000— 85 cents for journeymen and $ 1.43 for helpers and laborers. * There was an overlapping of scale levels among cities in different size groups for both classifications of workers. For example, among helpers and laborers, theaverage for Peoria, 111., (100,000 to 250,000) was higher than the average for all but 2 of the cities in each of the 2 next larger size groups. 4 Regionally, average hourly scales for union building - trades workers in cities of 1 0 0 , 0 0 0 or more population were highest in the Middle Atlantic States ($3.16) and lowest in the South east ($2.40). The level for the Middle West region, although 2 cents below the $2.90 na tional level, was exceeded only by those of the heavily populated and industrialized Middle Atlantic and Great Lakes regions (table 9). Wage levels for journeymen ranged from $2.71 in the Southeast to $3.37 in the Middle Atlantic region. With the exception of painters and paperhangers, all journeymen trades in the Middle Atlantic region averaged in excess of $3 an hour; in the Southeast region, only three trades— bricklayers, stonemasons, and marble setters— had such levels. Hourly scales for helpers and laborers averaged highest in the Middle Atlantic States ($2.38) and lowest in the Southeast ($1.47). The national average of $2.16 was also ex ceeded by the levels for the Great Lakes, Pacific, and Middle West regions. Levels of $2.30 or more prevailed for 7 of the 9 clas sifications of helpers and laborers in the Mid dle Atlantic and Great Lakes regions. Elevator constructors* helpers was the only classifica tion exceeding $ 1.75 an hour in the Southeast and Southwest regions. Standard Workweek Straight-time weekly hours remained vir tually unchanged during the year ending July 1, 1955. Changes that occurred had no effect on the average workweek which has remained at 39.4 hours for all building-trades workers combined for the past 3 years. The predominant standard workweek con sisted of 40 hours; this schedule prevailed for 87 percent of the journeymen and 92 percent of the helpers and laborers. About 1 of every 8 journeymen and 1 of every 12 helpers and laborers were employed under labor-manage ment contracts stipulating a 35-hour workweek. Such work schedules were applicable to at least a fifth of the bricklayers, painters, and bricklayers* tenders. Negotiated straight-time work schedules of 30 hours per week were reported for a sixth of the plasterers and a tenth of the plasterers* laborers (table 1 2 ). ployers or jointly by the workers and em ployers. Plans financed by workers through union dues or assessments were excluded from the study. No attempt was made to obtain information on the type and extent of benefits provided or on the cost of plans providing such benefits. Although negotiated health, insurance, and pension programs in the construction industry have increased in recent years, the develop ment of such plans on a widespread basis has perhaps been less rapid than in many other industries where problems of seasonal opera tion and casualness of employment are not encountered. Moreover, for many years most of the construction trades unions have operated their own union benefit programs providing their members with one or more types of ben efits, such as death, old-age, sickness, or disability. These factors undoubtedly have af fected the development of negotiated insurance and pension programs in the industry. The proportion of workers covered by each type plan increased slightly during the year. As in the July 1954 study, a substan tially greater proportion of organized construc tion workers were included in negotiated health and insurance programs than in pension pro grams. Slightly over three-fifths of the work ers were affected by health and insurance plans whereas only a sixth reported coverage by pension programs. Of the workers provided health and insur ance protection, over 95 percent were covered by plans financed entirely by employer con tributions. Such programs were incorporated in labor-management contracts applicable to a majority of the union members in many trades. Included among these trades were asbestos workers, boilermakers, painters, pipefitters, plumbers, rodmen, sheet-metal workers, and structural-iron workers. Pension programs were more common for electricians than for other trades. Lathers, pipefitters, plasterers, plumbers, sheet-metal workers, and bricklayers* tenders were also among the trades in which a substantial pro portion of members were covered by pension plans. Of those union members employed under terms of labor-management agreements providing pension plans, slightly over 70 per cent were covered by programs financed by employers. insurance and Pension Plans Collection of information on the prevalence of negotiated health, insurance, and pension plans in the building Construction industry, first undertaken in July 1954, was continued in the current survey.
