Union W ages and Hours:
Building Trades, Ju ly 1, 1965
Summary

Scope and Method of Study

Union hourly wage sca les of building trades w ork ers in cities of 100,000 population
or m ore in crea sed an average of 18 cents,
or 4.1 percen t, during the year ending July 1,
1965. M ore than 3 of ev ery 5 trades showed
an advance of 15 to 20 cents 1 in their a v e r
4
*
age hourly scale a ccordin g to the B ureau's
59th annual survey of union sca les in the
building trades.

Union sca les are those agreed on through
collectiv e bargaining between trade unions
and em p loy ers, and defined as (1) the basic
(minimum) wage sca les (excluding holiday,
vacation, or other benefit payments regularly
made or credited to the w ork er each pay
p eriod), and (2) the maximum schedules of
hours at straight-tim e rates. Rates in ex cess
of the negotiated minimum, which m ay be paid
for sp ecial qualifications or other reason s,
are not included.

Negotiated c o n t r a c t scale re v isio n s,
which becam e effective between July 1, 1964,
and July 1, 1965, resulted in upward adjust
ments fo r 90 percen t of the bu ilding-trades
w ork ers in the survey. Advances generally
v a ried fro m 10 to 25 cents an hour; such in 
cre a se s w ere applicable to n early th ree-fifth s
of the building tradesm en. H ourly sca les rose
10 to 15 cents fo r a fifth of the w ork e rs;
15 to 20 cents fo r another fifth; and 20 to
25 cents fo r a sixth. In creases of 25 cents
or m ore an hour affected a fourth of the
building tradesm en and those of le ss than
10 cents, a sixteenth.

The inform ation presented in this bulletin
was based on union sca les in effect on July 1,
1965, a n d cov ered approxim ately 690,000
journeym en and 170,000 helpers and la b orers
in 68 cities with populations of 100,000 or
m ore. Data w ere obtained p rim a rily from
lo ca l union officia ls by m ail questionnaire;
in som e instances, Bureau econom ists v isited
loca l union officia ls to obtain the d esired
inform ation.
The current survey was designed to r e 
fle ct union wage sca les in the building con 
struction industry in all cities of 100,000
population or m ore, excluding Honolulu. All
cities of a half m illion population o r m ore
w ere included, as w ere m ost cities in the
250.000—
500,000 group.
The cities in the
100.000— 250,000 group selected f o r study
w ere distributed w idely throughout the United
States. Data fo r som e cities w ere weighted
to com pensate fo r citie s not surveyed.
To
p r o v i d e appropriate representation in t h e
com bination of data, each geographic region
was con sidered separately when city weights
w ere assigned.

Hourly wage s c a le s , on July 1, 1965,
averaged $4.42 fo r all unionized buildingtrades w ork ers com bined— $4.64 fo r jou rn ey 
men and $3.54 fo r h elpers and la b o re rs.
Labor-m anagem ent agreem ents s p e c i f i e d
scales of $4.30 to $5 fo r half of the jo u rn ey 
men and of $3.20 to $3.80 fo r a like p r o 
portion of h elpers and la b o re rs.
Many labor-m anagem ent con tracts p r o 
vide fo r em ployer payments to insurance
(health and w elfa re), pension, a n d /o r vacation
funds. The inclusion of such contract stipu
lated payments with the b a s ic sca les raised
the negotiated average fo r all building-trades
w ork ers, as a group, to $4.77 an hour; fo r
journeym en to $5.01, and fo r h elpers and
la b orers to $3.79.

A verage hourly s ca le s , designed to show
current le v e ls, w ere based on all sca les r e 
ported in effect on July 1, 1965. Individual
scales w ere weighted by the number of union
m em bers at each rate. These averages are
not designed fo r p re cis e y e a r -to -y e a r co m 
parisons because of fluctuations in m e m b e r
ship and in job cla ssifica tion s studied. A v e r 
age ce n ts-p e r-h o u r and percent changes w ere
based on com parable q u o t a t i o n s fo r the
various occupational cla ssifica tion s in both
p eriod s, weighted by the m em bership reported
in the c u r r e n t (1965) survey. The index
s e r ie s , designed fo r trend pu rp oses, was
sim ila rly constructed.

Straight-tim e w orkweek schedules a v e r
aged 39.2 hours on July 1, 1965, fo r all
building-trades w ork ers com bined. A 40-hour
w eekly schedule was in e ffect fo r alm ost 7 of
ev ery 8 w ork ers.

1 For ease of reading in this and subsequent discussions of
tabulations, the limits of die class intervals are designated as
15 to 20 cents, 3 to 4 percent, etc., instead of using the more
precise terminology, "15 and under 20 cents, 3 and under
4 percent," etc.

Wage Scale In crea ses,

1964r-65

Rate changes in t h e building industry
r e s u l t p rim a rily fro m labor-m anagem ent
negotiations. Many of the union con tracts in
effect on July 1, 1965, w ere negotiated fo r
2 years— a few w ere fo r a lon ger period.
Contracts of m ore than a y e a r's duration often
contain p rov ision s fo r p e rio d ic in cre a se s.
Although individual con tracts provided fo r
in crea se s at variou s dates, only those scale
changes that actually becam e effective between
July 1, 1964, and July 1, 1965, w ere included
in the current study. Some of these scale
rev ision s w e r e provided fo r in contracts
which becam e effective p rio r to July 1, 1964.
A number of agreem ents negotiated during
the year contained p rov ision s fo r rate in 
cre a se s after July 1, 1965. Such d eferred
advances w e r e excluded fro m the survey.
Thus, the sca le changes presen ted h erein do
not refle ct the total wage s c a l e changes
negotiated in individual con tracts during the
12 months co v e re d by the survey.
R evision s in hourly wage sca les effective
during the year ending July 1, 1965, ra ised
the level of scales fo r building-trades w ork ers
4.1 percen t. This r is e , la rg er than that r e g 
istered in each of the four previou s 12-month
p eriod s, advanced the B ureau's index (1957—
59*100) to 131.4 (table 1). R eflected in this
advance w ere gains of 4 percen t fo r jo u rn e y 
m en and 4.7 percen t fo r h elpers and la b o re rs
(table 3).
The in cre a se in average hourly w a g e
sca le s, among the 24 journeym en trades su r
veyed, v a ried fro m 2.5 percen t fo r e le c t r i
cians to 5.2 percen t fo r tile la y e rs. Gains
of 3 to 3.5 percen t w ere r e co rd e d by three
trades, 3.5 to 4 percen t by six tra d es, 4 to
4.5 percen t by nine tra d es, and 4.5 to 5 p e r 
cent by two cra fts. F o r h elpers and la b o r e r s ,
the rate of advance, except fo r p la ste re rs '
la b orers (2 percen t), v a ried fro m 3.7 percen t
fo r elevator con stru cto rs' h elpers to 5.7 p e r 
cent fo r com position r o o fe r s ' h elp ers. B uild
ing la b o r e r s, the la rgest group n u m erica lly,
reg istere d a gain of 4.8 p e r c e n t , as did
plum bers' la b o re rs and tile la y e rs' helpers
(table 3).
During the y e a r ending July 1, 1965,
union hourly wage sca les fo r bu ildin g-trades
w ork ers in cities of 100,000 population or
m ore advanced 18 cen ts, on t h e average,
3 cents m ore than the preced in g 12-month
period. Journeym en, as a group, im proved
their average scale 18 cen ts, and h elpers and
la b o re rs , 16 cents (table 3).



On a ce n ts-p e r-h o u r b a sis, in crea ses for
the journeym en trades varied from 12 cents
fo r electricia n s and p la sterers to 23 cents
for tile la y ers. Scales fo r carpenters rose
21 cents, on the average, while those fo r
asbestos w o rk e rs, m achinists, and plum b
e r s , m oved up 20 cents. Of the rem aining
17 cra fts, 9 reg istered advances of at least
17 cents an hour. Am ong helpers and la b o r 
e r s , the in crea ses ranged fro m 7 cents fo r
p la ste re rs ' la b orers to 20 cents fo r b r ic k 
la y e rs ' t e n d e r s .
H ourly sca les rose an
average of 19 cents fo r te rra z z o w ork ers'
h elpers and 17 cents fo r three other c la s s i
fication s. Building la b orers advanced their
average 16 cen ts.
Between July 1, 1964, and July 1, 1965,
higher hourly wage sca les becam e effective
fo r nine-tenths of the journeym en and fo r
a like proportion of h elpers and la b orers.
S c a l e s advanced fo r at least 7 of every
8 w ork ers in 29 of the 33 trades surveyed.
Hourly scale in crea ses varied fro m 10 to
15 cents fo r a sixth of the journeym en, 15 to
20 cents fo r slightly m ore than a fifth, and
20 to 25 cents fo r another sixth. The advance
amounted to 25 cents or m ore fo r a fourth
of the journeym en. F o r h elpers and la b o re rs,
the resp ectiv e proportions w ere three-tenths,
a fifth, an eighth, and a s i x t h (table 6).
Wage sca les fo r two journeym en crafts
in Washington and three helper and la borer
cla ssifica tion s in Newark d ecrea sed during
the 12 months ending July 1, 1965. The d e
cre a se s w ere occa sion ed by amendments to
labor-m anagem ent agreem ents which provided
fo r the tran sfer of a portion of the previou sly
negotiated wage scale to insurance a n d /or
p e n s i o n fund payments by the em ployer.
F ew er than 1 percent of all building-trades
w ork ers w ere involved.
T h e in crea ses fo r journeym en r e p r e 
sented gains of 3 to 4 percent fo r slightly
m ore than a fifth of the w ork ers, 4 to 5 p e r 
cent fo r a sixth, 5 to 6 percent fo r alm ost
another sixth, and 2 to 3 percen t fo r an
eighth. The gain was 7 percent or m ore fo r
nearly an eighth. Am ong h elpers and la b o r
e r s , the advance was 4 to 5 percent fo r a
fifth, 5 to 6 percen t fo r nearly a sixth, and
2 to *3 percent fo r alm ost another sixth. The
rate of gain was 6 percent or m ore fo r alm ost
a fourth and le ss than 2 percen t fo r a twen
tieth (table 5).
Hourly Wage Scales
F o r all journeym en com bined, h o u r l y
wage sca les averaged $4.64 on July 1, 1965.
By trade, average hourly sca les varied from

3

H o u r l y wage s c a l e s fo r journeym en
showed a wide variation, ranging fro m $2.05
for com position ro o fe rs in N orfolk to $6.32
fo r sprinkler fitters in San F ra n cisco . Rates
of $6 or m ore an hour w ere also in effect
for som e b rick la y e rs in San F r a n c isc o , p ip e
fitters and plum bers in San F r a n c isc o and
Oakland, rodm en in Newark, and stru ctu raliron w o r k e r s in Newark and New York.

Insurance ( h e a l t h and w elfa re), pen
sion, and vacation plans provided in la b o rmanagement agreem ents fo r w ork ers in the
building trades have in crea sed steadily in
recent y ea rs. The w idespread developm ent of
such plans in the industry has perhaps been
less rapid than in industries where p ro b 
lem s of seasonal operation and casual e m 
ploym ent are not as extensive. A lso , m ost
con stru ction -trades u n i o n s have operated
their own program s providing their m em bers
with one type or m ore of benefits, such as
those coverin g death, old -a g e, sick n ess, or
disability.
T h e developm ent of negotiated
insurance and pension program s undoubtedly
has been affected by these fa cto rs. 2

Negotiated sca les va ried fro m $4.30 to
$5 an hour fo r half of the journeym en, fro m
$4 to $4.30 fo r a sixth, fro m $5 to $5.40
fo r an eighth, and w ere $5 o40 or m ore fo r
alm ost another eighth. H ourly wage sca les
of $5 or m ore w ere stipulated in la b o rmanagement agreem ents fo r tw o-fifth s of the
pipefitters and plu m bers; at least three-tenths
of t h e asbestos w o r k e r s , b o ile rm a k e rs,
b rick la y e rs, e lectricia n s (inside w irem en ),
elevator con stru cto rs, m ach in ists, s h e e t m etal w o rk e rs, stru ctu ra l-iro n w o rk e rs, and
tile la y e rs; fo r a fifth or m ore of the lath ers,
m arble setters, m osa ic and terrazzo w o rk e rs,
p la ste re rs , and rodm en; and fo r a tenth or
m ore of the w ork ers in each of the other
trades except g la z ie rs, pain ters, and p a p erhangers. Scales of le ss than $3. 60 an hour
w ere negotiated fo r about 21/2. percen t of the
journeym en as a group, and in only four trades
did the proportion exceed 8 percent (table 8).

On J u l y 1, 1965, negotiated em ployer
payments to insurance, pension, and/ or v a ca 
tion funds, or d irectly to the w ork ers in lieu
of these benefits, amounted to 34 cents an
hour on the average fo r all building-trades
w ork ers, including those fo r whom no em 
ployer contributions w ere sp ecified in their
particular agreem ent. The com parable a v e r
age was 37 cents fo r journeym en and 25 cents
for helpers and la b o re rs. The inclusion of
contract stipulated payments with the negoti
ated b a sic scales raised the averages fo r in
dividual journeym en trades by amounts rang
ing from 11 cents fo r m achinists to 53 cents
for plum bers. The amount of the rise was
48 cents fo r b rick la y e rs, 47 cents for p la s
te r e r s , and 30 cents or m ore fo r 12 other
trades. Am ong helpers and la b o re rs, ad
vances ranged from 12 cents fo r com position
ro o fe r s ' h elpers to 35 cents fo r p la ste re rs'
la b orers (table 4).

$4.20 fo r paperhangers to $4.91 fo r plum bers.
Among the 22 other cra fts, 9 had average
sca les of at least $4.70 an hour, 7 had a v e r
ages of $4.60 to $4.70, and only 4 had sca les
averaging le ss than $4.40 an hour.

H elpers and la b o r e r s, as a group, had
sca les averaging $3.54 an hour, and by trade
cla ssifica tio n , averages va ried fro m $2.80
fo r com position r o o fe r s ' h elpers to $3.91 fo r
te rra z z o w ork ers' h elpers. Scales averaged
at least $3.80 an hour fo r b r ic k la y e r s' tend
e r s , m arble se tte rs’ h e lp e rs, p la ste re rs '
la b o re rs, and tile la y e rs' h elp ers. Building
la b orers had sca les averaging $3.43 an hour.
Labor-m anagem ent contract r a t e s fo r
helpers and la b orers a lso va ried w idely—
ranging fro m $1.50 an hour fo r co m p o s i
tion ro o fe r s ' h elpers in Tampa to $5,45 fo r
som e p la ste re rs' la b o re rs in New York City.
Hourly sca les of $3.20 to $3.80 w ere sp ecified
in agreem ents fo r half of the h elpers and
la b o re rs , and at least $3.80 fo r about a
fourth. An eighth of the w ork ers had sca les
of less than $2.80 an hour. Some w ork ers
in each of the cla ssifica tio n s, except c o m 
position r o o fe r s ' h e lp e rs, had a sca le of $4
or m ore an hour. M ore than tw o-fifths of
the p la ste re rs ' la b o r e r s, te r r a z z o w o rk e rs'
h elp ers, and tile la y e rs ' h elpers had such
rates (table 8).



C ity and R e g io n a l A v e r a g e s
In t h e b u i l d i n g
industry, l a b o r management negotiations are generally con 
ducted on a loca lity b a sis. Among the fa ctors
affecting the wage scales fo r building-trades
w ork ers are variations in type and amount of
loca l building activity, the demand fo r con 
struction w ork ers, the extent of unionization,
and the general level of wages in individual

2 The prevalence of negotiated health, insurance, and
pension programs for construction-trades workers were first studied
in July 1954. Information on these plans was restricted to those
financed entirely or in part by the employer. Plans financed by
workers through union dues or assessments were excluded from the
study. No attempt was made to secure information on the kind
and extent of benefits provided, or on the cost of plans providing
such benefits. In the present study, however, information was
obtained on the amount of employer contributions in terms of
cents per hour or percent of rate. Such information is presented
in table 15. Although some employer payments are calculated
on the basis of total hours or gross payroll, these variations in
the computations are not indicated in the tabulation.

lo ca litie s. These fa cto rs are re fle cte d in the
relatively wide variations in negotiated sca les
fo r individual crafts within a loca lity as w ell
as in the differen ce in rates among citie s.
F or exam ple, h ourly sca les fo r cem ent fin 
ish ers ranged fro m $3.10 in N orfolk to $5.90
in New York City. The range of rates among

The d ifferen ce between the highest and
low est sca le fo r h elpers and la b o re rs in each
of the above citie s was sm a ller than that fo r
journeym en.
The d ifferen ces ranged fro m
58 cents in Atlanta to $ 1.111/2 in San F ra n 
cis co—
Oakland.
The city and region al averages presented
in tables 9 and 11 are designed to show
current levels of rates fo r the two groups—
journeym en, and h elpers and la b o re rs. They
do not m e a s u r e d if f e r e n c e s in u n io n s c a le s
of the variou s cra fts among a rea s. A s p r e 
v iou sly indicated, sca les fo r individual trades
differ fro m one city to another. The city
averages are influenced not only by d iffe r 
ences in rates among c itie s , b u t also by
differen ces in the prop ortion of organized
w ork ers in the variou s cra fts. F o r exam ple,
a particu lar cra ft or cla ssifica tio n m ay not
be organized in som e areas or m ay be organ 
ized le s s intensively in som e areas than in
others. In addition, certain types of w ork are
found in som e areas but not in oth ers, or they
are found to a greater extent in som e areas
than in others. These d ifferen ces are r e 
flected in the weighting of individual rates by
the number of union m em bers at the rate.
T h erefore, even though rates fo r all individual
crafts in two areas are iden tical, the average
fo r all crafts com bined in each of the areas
m ay d iffer.
On a city b a s is , average hourly sca les
v a r i e d w idely f o r both journeym en, and
helpers and la b o re rs among the 68 cities
surveyed. No effective sca le s w ere reported
fo r h elpers and la b o re rs in Charlotte. Union
hourly wage sca le s fo r journeym en averaged



low est ($3.67) in Jackson and highest ($5.52)
in New York City. Scales averaged $5 or
m ore in three other citie s , $4.75 to $5 in
8 c itie s , $4.50 to $4.75 in 12 c itie s , $4.25
to $4.50 in 19 c itie s , $4 to $4.25 in 15 citie s ,
and $3.75 to $4 in 8 cities (table 9).
Among helpers and la b o re rs , average
hourly sca les v aried from $1.75 in Jackson
to $4.93 in New York City. They averaged
$ 3 .7 5 or m ore in eight other citie s , as did
those of le s s than $ 2 .2 5 an hour.
A verage
sca les varied fro m $3.50 to $3.75 in 1 4 citie s ,
$ 3 .2 5 to $ 3 .5 0 in 12 citie s , $3 to $ 3 .2 5 in
9 citie s , $2.50 to $2.75 in 5 citie s , and $ 2 .2 5
to $ 2 .5 0 in 5 cities (table 9).
When the 68 surveyed cities w ere grouped
accordin g to population s iz e , average hourly
sca les fo r unionized building-trades w ork ers
v aried d irectly with size of city group. In
the group of cities with a m illion population
or m o re , hourly sca les averaged $5.05 fo r
journeym en and $4.06 fo r h elpers and la b o r
ers— 73 and 85 cents, re sp e ctiv e ly , higher
than those in the sm allest size population
group studied (100,000 to 250,000).
A verage hourly wage sca les fo r the in 
dividual cities within each population group
showed a wide variation fo r both journeym en,
and h elpers and la b o re rs. The range of city
averages was greater fo r h elpers and la b o r
ers than fo r journeym en in each of the size
groupings. The spread between the highest
and low est city averages fo r journeym en was
w idest in the group of cities with 250,000 to
500.000 population ($1.64) and fo r helpers
and la b o re rs in the g r o u p of cities with
500.000 to 1 ,000,0 00 population ($ 2 .2 7 ). It
was n arrow est in the group of cities with a
m illion population or m ore, 97 cents fo r jo u r 
neymen and $1.75 fo r h elpers and la b orers.

An overlapping of average sca les existed
among the different size groups. F o r exam 
ple, the average s c a l e fo r journeym en in
Trenton, in the group of cities with 100,000
to 250,000, the sm allest size studied, was
exceeded by only two cities in the larger
size groups.
As previously indicated, many agreements
provide fo r em ployer payments to certain
funds. Am ong the 68 individual cities su r
veyed, em ployer fund payments when averaged
among all building-trades w ork ers com bined,
(whether co v ered by a plan or not), varied

5
from 1 cent an hour in Jackson and San
Antonio to 70 cents in New York City0 It
was at least 50 cents an hour in 6 other cities;
30 to 40 cents in 8 c itie s ; 20 to 30 cents in
15 citie s; 10 to 20 cents in 19 citie s; and
less than 10 cents in 15 others. Em ployer
contributions typically averaged highest in
the la rger cities in the Middle A tlantic, Great
Lakes, and P a cific regions.
When s u c h con tract-stipu lated c o n tri
butions w ere included with the b a sic sca le,
for all building-trades w ork ers com bined,
negotiated averages showed a wide variation
among individual cities. They ranged fro m
$3.42 in Jackson to $6.09 an hour in New
York. The averages varied fro m $5 to $5.50
in 8 citie s; $4.50 to $5 in 16 citie s; $4
to $4.50 in 25 citie s; and le ss than $4 in
16 other cities (table 10).
On a regional b a s i s , average hourly
sca les fo r building-trades w o rk e rs, exclu sive
of em ployer payments to funds, ranged from
$3.67 in the Southeast to $5 in the Middle
Atlantic. Hourly sca les averaged $4 064 in
the P a c ific , $4.39 in the Great Lakes, and
$3.72 to $4.24 in the other regions (table 11).
Scales fo r journeym en averaged highest
($5.18) in t h e Middle Atlantic States and
low est ($3.94) in the Southeast. In the highly
industrialized Middle Atlantic r e g i o n , all
trades but one averaged m ore than $4.50 an
hour and 16 had sca les averaging in e x cess
of $5 an hour.
In the Southeast, 2 trades
averaged le ss than $ 3 .5 0 an hour and 10
averaged m ore than $4 an hour, o f which only
2 w ere in e x cess of $4. 20 an hour.
A ver
ages of at least $5 an hour w ere also r e g is 
tered by nine trades in the P a cific region and
by one in New England.
F or the nine helper and la b o re r c la s s i
fications com bined, average h o u r l y wage
sca les varied from $2.17 in the Southeast to
$4. 27 in the Middle Atlantic States.
In 6
of the 9 regions, all helper and la b orer




cla ssifica tion s averaged in ex cess of $3 an
hour. A verages of $3.50 or m ore an hour
w ere reg istered by each of the classifica tion s
in the Middle Atlantic and P a cific region s,
seven of those in the Great Lakes region,
four in the New England and B order States,
and one in the Mountain region. Only one
cla ssifica tion , elevator con stru ctors' h elpers,
in the Southeast and Southwest regions had
sca les averaging in ex cess of $2.75 an hour
(table 11).
Standard Workweek
Few unionized building-trades w ork ers
w ere affected by changes in the negotiated
straight-tim e workweek during the year end
ing July 1, 1965.
Such changes, how ever,
reduced the average straight-tim e workweek
from 39.3 to 39.2 hours fo r all buildingtrades w ork ers com bined and fo r journeym en;
the average fo r helpers and la b orers r e 
mained unchanged at 39.5 hours (table 14).
The m ost com m on workweek, 40 hours,
was in effect for nearly 7 of ev ery 8 building
craftsm en. A standard workweek of 35 hours
was sp ecified in agreem ents fo r slightly m ore
than a tenth of the building-trades w ork ers.
Such schedules affected alm ost three-tenths
of the b rick la y e rs' tenders, a fourth of the
painters, a fifth of the b rick la y ers and e le 
vator con stru ctors' h elp ers, and a sixth of
the elevator con stru ctors, lathers, and m o 
saic and te rra z zo w ork ers.
Straight-tim e
w orkweeks of 30 hours w ere in effect for
alm ost a fourth of the p la sterers and a sixth
of their helpers (table 14).
Union S cales, by City and Trade
Table 15 presents the union sca les of
wages and hours in effect on July 1, 1964,
and July 1, 1965, together with the amount of
em ployer contributions to insurance, pension,
and vacation plans on July 1, 1965, fo r the
individual trades in each of the 68 cities
surveyed.
