S. Department of L a b or1s Bureau of Labor Statistics conducts annual surveys of wage rates and sch ed uled hours of work for sp ecified crafts or jobs as provided in labor-m anagem ent agreem ents in four industries: Build ing construction, printing, local transit, and loca l trucking. The studies present the wage rates in effect as of July 1 of each year as reported to the Bureau by the appropriate loca l labor organizations in each of the cities included in the survey. Inform ation on the union sca les and hours p r e vailing in each city is available in August of each year upon request to the Bureau1s regional o ffice s . A nation wide sum m ary report of rates fo r lo ca l-tra n sit operating em ployees was issued in N ovem ber 1958. This bulletin provides additional data and indexes of the trend of wages and hours fo r the period 1929-58. It was prepared by H erbert Schaffer under the direction of John F . L aciskey of the B ureau1s D ivision of Wages and Industrial R elations. iii Contents P age 1 1 1 co co co co co S u m m a ry ___________________________________________________________________________ Scope and m eth od o f study ________________________________________________________ S cale in c r e a s e s and tren d ________________________________________________________ W age s c a le v a ria tio n s ________________ C ity and r e g io n a l ra te d iffe r e n c e s __ Standard w o rk w e e k ___________________ H ealth, in s u r a n c e , and pen sion plans Union s c a le s by city _________________ T a b le s: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.

S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics. Approximately 95 percent of the transit employees included in the study had their pay scales increased during the year. Ad vances varied from 10 to 1 4 1 cents an hour for nearly a third of the workers and amounted to 20 or more cents for more than a fourth. Scales rose 5 cents an hour for a tenth of the operators. Union hourly scales on July 1, 1958, av eraged $2.21 for all operators of local-transit equipment. Negotiated rates of $2.10 to $2.35 an hour were in effect for nearly three-fifths of the transit operators. Straight-time weekly work schedules were incorporated in labor-management contracts applicable to 94 percent of the operating em ployees included in the study. Such schedules varied from 40 to 54 hours. A 4 0 -hour work week was predominant in the industry and ap plied to approximately 4 of every 5 workers. One or more health, insurance, or pension benefits were provided in labor-management agreements covering slightly more than ninetenths of the workers studied. Contributory plans, financed jointly by workers and em ployers, were in effect for most local-transit operators. Scope 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 unions and employers. Rates in excess of the negotiated minimum, which may be paid for special qualifications or other rea sons, are not included. 1 For ease of reading in this and subse quent discussions of tabulations, the limits of the class intervals are designated as 3 to 5 percent, 6 to 9 cents, e t c ., instead of using the more precise terminology, "3 and under 5 percent, 6 and under 9 c e n ts ,” etc. The information presented in this report was based on union scales in effect on July 1, 1958, and covered approximately 70,000 localtransit operating employees in 52 cities with populations of 100,000 or more. Trackmen and maintenance workers were excluded from the study. Operating employees of munici pally owned transit systems were included, if unions acted as the bargaining agents. Data were obtained primarily from local union offi cials by mail questionnaire; in some instances, Bureau representatives visited local union of ficials to obtain the desired information. The current survey was designed to r e flect union wage scales of local-transit op erating employees in all cities of 100,000 or more population. All cities with 500,000 or more population were included, as were most cities in the population group of 2 5 0 ,0 0 0 500,000. The cities in the 1 0 0 ,0 0 0 -2 5 0 ,0 0 0 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 cities which were not surveyed. To provide appropriate representation in the combination of data, each geographic region and population group was considered separately when city weights were assigned. Average hourly scales, designed to show current levels, were based on all scales re ported in effect on July 1, 1958. Individual scales were weighted by the number of union members at each rate. These averages are not designed for precise year-to-year com parisons because of fluctuations in member ship and in the classifications studied. Av erage cents-per-hour and percent changes from July 1, 1957, to July 1, 1958, were, however, based on comparable quotations for the various classifications in both periods, weighted by the membership reported for the current (1958) survey. The index se rie s, de signed for trend purposes, was similarly constructed. Scale Increases and Trend Changes in wage scales of local-transit operators result p r i m a r i l y from l a b o r management negotiations. Of the contracts in effect on July 1, 1958, in the 52 cities studied, nearly two-thirds were negotiated for 2 or more years. Such multiyear contracts gen erally provided for one or more interim in creases or for cost-of-living escalation. How ever, only those scale changes that actually became effective between July 1, 1957, and July 1, 1958, were included in the current 2 survey. Some of the rate adjustments were provided for in contracts negotiated before July 1957. Deferred increases, scheduled to take effect after July 1, 1958, were ex cluded from the current survey. Thus, the scale changes presented in this report do not reflect the total wage advances negotiated in individual agreements during the survey year. The Bureau’ s index of union hourly wage rates o f local-transit operating employees rose 6 percent between July 1, 1957, and July 1, 1958, as a result of upward adjust ments in wage scales during this period. This increase was the highest annual gain recorded in the last 6 years and advanced the Bureau1s index to 61.2 percent above the 1947-49 level (table l). Pay scale revisions were effective during the 12 months ending July 1, 1958, for 94 percent of the 1-man car and bus operators, 85 percent of the 2 -man car operators, and 96 percent of the elevated and subway opera tors (table 3). During the year, union hourly scales, on the average, rose 8 .6 percent for elevated and subway operators, 5 .7 percent for 1-man car and bus operators, and 5.1 per cent for 2 -man car operators* On a centsper-hour basis, average scales advanced 18 cents for elevated and subway operators, 12 cents for 1-man car and bus operators, and 10 cents for 2-m an car operators (table 2). Increases in wage scales varied from 2 to 21 cents an hour for 1-man car and bus operators. Gains’ of 10 cents were recorded for a sixth of these workers, of 11 to 14 cents for a slightly larger proportion, and of 20 or more cents for nearly a fourth. By contrast, hourly increases of 18 to 20 cents affected a fifth of the operating employees on elevated and subway equipment, of 20 or more cents for nearly two-thirds, and less than 5 cents for most of the remaining workers. Most of the 2 -man operators had their hourly rates raised 10 cents (table 4). On a percentage basis, the scale in creases for about one-fourth of the operators of 1-man cars and buses reflected gains of 5 to 6 percent and gains of 9 or more percent for a slightly larger number of such opera tors. The advances ranged from 9 to 11 per cent for almost four-fifths of the elevated and subway operators, while nearly a tenth of these operators realized gains of 11 or more percent. About two-thirds of the operators on 2 -man cars had scale increases of 5 to 6 per cent (table 3). Wage Scale Variations Negotiated pay scales for local-transit operators generally provided for length-ofservice differentials— an entrance rate, one or more intermediate rates, and a maximum or top r a te .2 Although the time intervals be tween rate steps varied among cities, 3 or 6 months of employment was the typical period during which the entrance or beginning rate applied. Length of service was not a factor in two cities (San Francisco and Scranton) where only single rates were specified. Entrance or starting rates for 1-man car and bus operators in the cities studied varied from $ 1 .4 7 an hour in Charlotte, N. C . , to $ 2 .4 5 in San Francisco, Calif. The lowest maximum or top rate for these operators was $ 1 .5 7 in Charlotte, N. C. , and the highest was $2.55 for multiunit car operators in B o s ton, M ass. Entrance rates of $2 or more were recorded in half of the cities studied. Top rates ranged from $2 to $ 2 .2 5 in ap proximately 2 of every 5 cities and $ 2 .2 5 or more in 1 of every 4 cities. The spread be tween entrance and top rates was 10 cents in 1 of every 4 cities and exceeded this amount in almost another fourth of the cities surveyed. Union scales for local-transit operating employees in cities of 100,000 or more popu lation averaged $ 2 .2 1 an hour as of July 1, 1958. Operators of 1-man cars and buses, who accounted for almost 9 of every 10 localtransit operators, had scales averaging $ 2 .2 0 an hour. Hourly scales for elevated and sub way operators, who represented about 1 of every 10 transit workers, averaged $2«29 and those for motormen and conductors on 2 -man cars, $ 2 .1 5 (table 2). The current survey showed 2 -man car operations in only 4 cities compared with 12 cities in 1 949.3 About three-fifths of the 1-man car and bus operators were covered by labor-management agreements stipulating rates of $2.10 to $2.35 an hour; a fifth had scales of $ 2 .3 5 or m ore, and only 3 percent had rates of less than $ 1 .7 5 an hour. Hourly rates ranging from $2 to $ 2 .1 5 were in effect for all but about a sixth of the workers on 2 -man cars. Ap proximately a fifth of the elevated and subway operators were concentrated at each of 3 rate intervals— $ 2 .1 5 to $ 2 .2 0 , $ 2 .3 0 to $ 2 .3 5 , and $ 2 .5 0 or more (table 5). 2 This so-called top rate actually becomes the employee^ basic scale after a specified period of employment with the company. It is not a maximum rate in the sense that the company may not pay m ore. 3 See BLS Bull. 981, table 9. 3 City and Regional Rate Differences City and regional averages, designed to show current rate levels, are affected not only by the wide variation of scales which exists among the individual cities, but also by variations in the proportions of union m em bers at each of the graduated scales within cities. These differences are reflected in the weighting of individual rates by the number of workers employed. Therefore, even though all rates in two areas may be identical, the average for each area may differ. Among the 52 cities studied, average hourly scales varied from $ 1.57 in Charlotte, N. C . , to $ 2 .4 4 in Chicago, 111. Scales av eraged less than $ 1 .7 5 in 5 cities, $ 1 .7 5 to $2 in 13 cities, $2 to $ 2 .2 5 in 23 cities, and $ 2 .2 5 or more in 11 cities (table 6). Pay scales were increased during the year ending July 1, 1958, in all of the cities included in the survey except in Philadelphia. The increases varied from 2 cents for bus drivers in Omaha to 21 cents for some of the bus and subway operating employees in New York City. The most frequent increments were 5 and 10 cents; each of these amounts was reported in about a fifth of the cities. Advances of 14 or more cents an hour were applicable for at least some of the transit operators in 10 of the cities studied (table 9). Grouping the cities according to popula tion size showed that average hourly scales varied widely within each population group. The average scale for the city size group with a million or more population was $ 2 .3 0 , 4 cents higher than the average for the group with 500,000 -1 ,0 0 0 ,0 0 0 population. Cities in the 2 5 0 ,0 0 0 -5 0 0 ,0 0 0 population group aver aged $ 2 .0 9 and those in the smaller city size group studied (1 0 0 ,0 0 0 -2 5 0 ,0 0 0 population), $ 1 .9 3 an hour. The spread between the high est and lowest city averages was greatest (58 cents) for the sm allest city size group and narrowest (32 cents) for the largest city size group. Overlapping o f average scales existed among cities in various population groups. For example, average hourly scales for all but 2 of the cities with 500,000 to 1 ,0 0 0 ,0 0 0 population were higher than the $ 2 .1 2 aver age for Philadelphia, 1 of the cities in the group with a million or more population. On a regional basis, average hourly rates of local-transit employees were highest in the Great Lakes region at $ 2 .3 3 , followed by the Pacific region at $ 2 .2 7 . Averages for the New England and the Middle Atlantic regions exceeded the $2.21 national average by 1 cent. Rates in the Southeast averaged $1. 78 an hour (table 7). Standard Workweek. All but 8 of the cities studied reported standard weekly work schedules after which premium overtime was paid. These schedules affected 94 percent of the local-transit opera tors and averaged 4 0 .7 hours on July 1, 1958, compared with 4 1 .1 on July 1, 1957. This decline resulted primarily from a reduction in hours in three cities. More than four-fifths of the transit opera tors were on a 40-hour week; this work sched ule applied to a like proportion of the 1-man car and bus operators, slightly more than seven-tenths of the 2-man car operators, and all of those on elevated and subway equipment. Workweeks of 44 and 48 hours were in effect for 4 and 5 percent, respectively, of the op erators on 1-man cars and buses, and the latter schedule was applicable to 29 percent of those on 2 -man cars (table 8). Health, Insurance, and Pension Plans Provisions for one or more health, in surance, or pension benefits were incorpo rated in labor-management contracts covering about 9 of every 10 local-transit operators . Plans providing health and insurance protec tion financed jointly by employees and em ployers covered about seven-tenths of the local-transit operating employees and pension plans were found in contracts covering almost six-tenths. Union Scales by City Union wage scales in effect on July 1, 1957, and July 1, 1958, for each of the 52 cities included in the study are presented in table 9. Weekly hours in effect on these dates are also shown for cities for which a regular straight-time workweek was reported. 4 The prevalence of negotiated health, in surance, and pension programs for localtransit operating employees was first studied in July 1954. Information for these plans was restricted to those financed entirely or in part by the employer. Plans financed by workers through union dues or assessments were ex cluded from the study. No attempt was made to secure information on the kind and extent of benefits provided or on the expenditures for such benefits. 4 T A B L E 1.
