N in ety -sev en percent of the transit w ork e r s included in the study had their wage rates adjusted upward during the y e a r. R a ises v a r ied fro m 5 to 10 c e n t s 1 an hour for th re eeighths of the w orkers and fro m 10 to 12 cents for approxim ately the sam e proportion. Scale advances of 12 cents or m ore an hour affected slightly m ore than an eighth of the o p erato rs. Union hourly sca le s on July 1, 1959, av eraged $ 2 .2 9 for all lo c a l-tr a n sit equipment o p era to rs. H ourly rates of $ 2 .2 0 to $ 2 .4 5 were in effect for nearly th re e-fifth s of the operating em ployees. Rates of $ 2 .5 0 or m ore were .negotiated for a sixth of the w o rk ers. Straight-tim e workweek schedules were stipulated in labor-m an agem en t agreem ents covering 94 percent of the transit em ployees included in the study. Such schedules, which ranged fro m 40 to 54 hours a week, averaged 4 0 .6 hours. The m o st com m on straigh t-tim e workweek con sisted of 40 hours; five of every six operators had such workweeks. Labor-m anagem en t contracts providing health, insu rance, and pension plans financed at le a st in part by the em ployer were in e f fect for slightly m ore than 90 percent of the operating em ployees. A m ajority of the w ork e r s w ere covered by plans financed jointly by w orkers and e m p lo y ers. Scope and Method of Study Union sca les are defined as the m in i m um wage sc a les or m axim um schedules of hours agreed upon through collective bargain ing between unions and em p lo y e rs. Rates in ex ce ss of the negotiated m inim um , which may be paid for special qualifications or other rea so n s, are not included. The inform ation presented in this report was based on union sca les in effect on July 1, 1959, and covered approxim ately 65,000 lo c a ltransit operating em ployees in 52 cities with populations of 1 0 0 ,0 0 0 or m o r e . Trackm en and maintenance w orkers were excluded fro m the study. Operating em ployees of m u n ici pally owned transit sy stem s were included if unions acted as the bargaining agents. Data were obtained p rim arily fro m local union o ffi cia ls by m ail questionnaire; in som e instances, Bureau represen tatives visited local union o fficials to obtain the desired inform ation. The current survey was designed to r e flec t union wage sca les of lo c a l-tr a n sit op erating em ployees in all cities of 1 0 0 ,0 0 0 or m ore population. A ll cities with 5 0 0 ,0 0 0 or m ore population were included, as w ere m o st cities in the 2 5 0 ,0 0 0 —5 0 0 ,0 0 0 group. 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 som e of the cities included in the study were weighted in order to compensate for cities which were not surveyed. To provide appropriate r e p r e se n tation in the combination of data, each geo graphic region and population group was con sidered separately when city weights were assign ed. A verage hourly s c a le s , designed to show current le v e ls , were based on all sca le s r e ported in effect on July 1, 1959. Individual Scales were weighted by the number of union m e m b ers at each ra te. These averages are not designed for p recise y e a r -t o -y e a r c o m parisons because of fluctuations in m e m b e r ship and in the cla ssification s studied. A v eraged ce n ts-p e r -h o u r and percent changes fro m July 1, 1958, to July 1, 1959, w ere, how ever, based on com parable quotations for the various cla ssification s in both periods, weighted by the m em bersh ip reported for the current (1959) su rvey. The index s e r ie s , d e signed for trend purposes, was sim ila r ly constructed. Scale Increases and Trend R evisions in union hourly sca les of lo c a ltransit operators resu lt prim arily fro m la b o r managem ent negotiations . Of the contracts in effect on July 1, 1959, in the 52 cities stud ied, 5 of every 6 w ere negotiated for 2 or 1 For ease of reading in this and su b se m ore y e a r s. Such m ultiyear contracts gen quent discu ssion s of tabulations, the lim its era lly vprovided for one or m ore interim wage of the c la ss intervals are designated as 3 to in crea ses or for adjustment fo r c o s t-o f-liv in g 5 percent, 6 to 9 cen ts, e t c ., instead of using changes. H ow ever, only those scale changes the m ore precise term inology, 3 and under that actually becam e effective between July 1, 5 percent, 6 and under 9 cen ts, etc. 1958, and July 1, 1959, were included in the 2 cu rren t study. Some o f the rate adjustm ents w ere provided fo r in contracts negotiated prior to July 1, 1958. D eferred in crea ses scheduled to take effect subsequent to July 1, 1959, w ere excluded fro m the su rvey . Thus, the sca le changes presented in this report do not r e flec t the total wage advances negotiated in individual agreem en ts during the s u r v ey y e a r. The 3 .8 -p e r c e n t jrise in union wages for lo c a l-tr a n s it operating em ployees between July 1, 1958, and July 1, 1959, advanced the Bureau* s index (1 9 4 7 -4 9 * 1 0 0 ) o f union hourly wage rates fo r those w orkers to 167.3 (table 1). The rate of advance was sm a lle r than that reg istered in the two preceeding 12-m onth periods and approxim ately the sam e as the gain recorded during the year ending July 1, 1956. The in crease reflected scale advances of 4 . 4 percent fo r m otorm en and conductors of 2 -m a n c a r s , 4 percent for elevated and sub way o p era to rs, and 3. 8 percent for 1-m a n car and bus operators. On a cents-per-h our b a s is , the in crease in average sc a les amounted to 9 . 5 , 9 . 2 , and 8 .3 cents, resp ectiv ely (table 2 ). P ay sca le s were adjusted upward during the 12-m onth period for 96 percent of the operators of 1 -m a n ca rs and buses and fo r a ll operators on 2 -m a n ca rs and on elevated and subway equipment (table 3). Hourly scale advances ranged fr o m 2 to 19 cents for op era to rs of 1-m an c a r s and b u se s. R a ise s of 10 cents Were recorded for a fourth of these w o rk ers, of 5 to 7 cents for a slightly la rg er proportion, o f 7 to 10 cents fo r a tenth, and of 11 or m ore cents fo r about a fourth (table 4). F o r operators o f 2 -m a n c a r s , the in crease amounted to 10 cents fo r th ree-fou rth s of the w orkers and to cents fo r a sixth. On elevated and subway sy s te m s , sca le s rose 10 cents fo r about tw o-thirds of the w o rk ers, and 61/a cents fo r n early th re e -te n th s. t l/z In percentage t e r m s , the scale in c rea ses represen ted gains o f 5 to 6 percent fo r th re etenths of 1 -m a n ca r and bus o p era to rs, of 4 to 5 percent fo r a sixth, of 3 to 4 percent fo r a fourth, and of le s s than 3 percent for another sixth. The advance ranged fr o m 5 to 6 percent fo r fiv e -s ix th s of the 2 -m a n car o p e ra to rs, and fo r slightly le s s than h alf of those on elevated and subway s y s te m s . A fourth of the operating em ployees on the latter type o f transit equipment rea lized gains of 4 to 5 percent and another fourth showed gains of 3 to 4 percent (table 3). Wage Scale Variations Negotiated pay sca le s fo r lo c a l-tr a n s it operators generally provided fo r le n g th -o fserv ic e differentials— an entrance rate, one o r m ore interm ediate r a te s, and a m axim um or top rate. 2 Although the time intervals b e tween rate steps varied among the 52 cities covered, 3 or 6 months of em ploym ent was the typical period during which the entrance rate applied. Length of serv ic e was not a factor in San F ra n cisco and Scranton, where only single rates were specified. Entrance o r starting rates for operators of 1-m a n ca rs or buses in the cities studied varied fro m a low of $ 1 .5 5 an hour in C h a r lotte, N . C . , K n oxville, T e n n ., and Oklahoma C ity , O k la., to a high of $ 2 . 51 in San F ra n c is c o , C a lif. Charlotte and Knoxville also had the low est top rates ( $ 1 .6 5 ) fo r these o p era to r s; the highest was $ 2 . 62 for multiunit car operators in B oston. Entrance rates of $2 or m ore w ere in effect in three of every five cities studied. Top rates ranged fr o m $2 to $ 2 .2 5 in about two of every five cities and exceeded $ 2 .2 5 in one of every three c itie s . Union hourly sca le s fo r lo c a l-tr a n s it op erating em ployees in cities o f 1 0 0 ,0 0 0 or m ore population averaged $ 2 .2 9 as of July 1, 1959* O perators o f 1-m a n ca rs and b u se s, who accounted for a lm ost nine-tenths of the w orkers covered by the su rvey, averaged $ 2 .2 8 an hour. E levated and subway o p era t o r s , who constituted a tenth of the transit w o rk ers, averaged $ 2 .3 8 an hour, while m o torm en and conductors on 2 -m a n ca rs had sca le s averaging $ 2 .2 6 an hour (table 2). T h r e e -fifth s of the 1 -m a n car and bus operators w ere covered by lab or-m an agem en t agreem ents Specifying sca le s of $ 2 .2 0 to $ 2 .5 0 an hour; a sixth had rates of $ 2 . 50 or m ore, and only 5 percent had negotiated sc a les o f le s s than $ 1 .8 5 an hour. F iv e -s ix th s o f the m otorm en and conductors on 2 -m a n ca rs had hourly sca les ranging fr o m $2.10 to $ 2 .2 5 . A fifth of the elevated and subway operators w ere grouped at each of two rate in tervals— $ 2 .2 5 to $ 2 .3 0 and $ 2 .3 5 to $ 2 . 4 0 . A lm o st another fifth had rate sc a les of $ 2 . 60 or over (table 5). City and Regional Rote Differences City and regional a v era g e s, designed to show cu rren t rate le v e ls , are affected not only by the wide variation in the lev els o f sc a le s which ex ists among the individual c it ie s , but also by variations in the proportions o f union m e m b ers at each of the graduated 2 This so -ca lled top rate actually becom es the e m p lo y e e 's ba sic scale after a specified period of em ploym ent with the com pany. It is not a m axim um rate in the sense that the company m ay not pay m o r e . 3 sc a le s within c itie s . These differences are reflected in the weighting of individual rates by the number of w orkers em ployed. T h e r e fo r e , even though all rates in two areas may be identical, the averages fo r the areas may dif fe r . A verage hourly sca le s of a ll operators varied among the cities studied fro m $ 1 .6 4 in C harlotte, N .C ., to $ 2 .5 0 in C hicago, 111. S ca les averaged le s s than $ 1 .7 5 in 4 c itie s , $ 1 .7 5 to $2 in 9 c itie s , $2 to $ 2 .2 5 in 19 c it ie s , and $ 2 .2 5 or m ore in 20 c itie s . Except fo r Philadelphia, Cincinnati, and Houston, all cities with a half m illion or m ore population had averages in ex ce ss of $ 2 .2 5 an hour (table 6). Increased pay sca les were reported for all but 4 o f the 52 cities included in the study. In creases in hourly rates ranged fro m 2 cents fo r som e of the 1-m a n ca r and bus o p era tors in L os A n geles to 19 cents fo r som e bus operators in New York C ity. The m o st f r e quent r a ise s were 5 and 10 cents; each of these amounts was reported in approxim ately a sixth of the cities in which sc a les were r e v ise d . Hourly advances ranged fro m 6 to 10 cents in about a third of the cities and e x ceeded 10 cents fo r at le a st som e of the transit operators in 10 of the cities studied. When the cities are grouped by population s iz e , average hourly sca les varied by size of city . The average scale fo r all cities with a m illio n or m ore population was $ 2 .3 8 , 1-cen t higher than the average fo r the 5 0 0 ,0 0 0 to 1 ,0 0 0 ,0 0 0 group. C ities in the 2 5 0,000—500,000 population group averaged $ 2 .1 5 and those in the sm a lle st size group studied (1 0 0 ,0 0 0 — 2 5 0 ,0 0 0 population) averaged $ 1 .9 9 an hour. Standard Workweek Straight-tim e weekly work schedules were reported for lo c a l-tr a n sit operators in 45 of the 52 cities studied. Such weekly schedules were applicable to 94 percent of the transit em ployees covered by the survey and a v e r aged 4 0 . 6 hours on July 1, 1959, com pared with 4 0 . 7 on July 1, 1958. Reductions in standard straigh t-tim e weekly hours were r e ported for four c itie s. T y p ica lly , the standard workweek con tinued to be 40 h ou rs, as in the previous y ea r. This schedule, which was in effect in about tw o-thirds of the cities studied, was applica ble to all of the operating em ployees on e le vated and subway sy ste m s and on 2 -m a n c a r s , and to fiv e -six th s of those on 1-m an ca rs and b u se s. Workweeks of 44 and 48 hours were each in effect fo r slightly m ore than 3 p e r cent of the I -m a n car and bus operators (table 8). Health. Insurance, and Pension Plans P rovision s for one or m ore health, in surance, or pension benefits were incorpo rated in labor-m anagem ent contracts covering slightly m o re than nine-tenths of the lo c a ltran sit o p e r a t o r s .3 Plans providing health and insurance protection financed jointly by em ployees and em ployers covered slightly m o re than seven-tenths of the operators of lo ca l-tra n sit equipment and sim ila r ly financed pension plans were contained in contracts covering about six-ten th s of the w o rk ers. Union Scales by City Within each population group, average hourly sc a les for the individual cities showed considerable variation. The spread between the highest and low est city averages was g r e a te s t (56 cents) fo r the sm a lle st city size group and the n arrow est (28 cents) fo r the la r g e st city size group. There was an overlapping of average sca le s among cities in the various population groups. F o r exam ple, the $ 2 .4 2 average for S ea ttle, W a s h ., in the 2 5 0 ,0 0 0 —5 0 0 ,0 0 0 popu lation group, was exceeded by only 4 cities with populations of 5 0 0 ,0 0 0 or m o r e . On a regional b a s is , sca le s for lo c a ltran sit operating em ployees averaged highest $ 2 . 38) in the G reat Lakes region and low est $ 1 .8 2 ) in the Southeast. Two other regions— M iddle Atlantic ( $ 2 .3 2 ) and P acific ( $ 2 .3 4 ) — a lso had sc a les averaging in e x cess of the $ 2 .2 9 national le v e l which was equaled by New England (table 7). i Union wage sc a les in effect on July 1, 1958, and July 1, 1959, fo r each of the 52 c it ies included in the study are presented in table 9. W eekly hours in effect on these dates are a lso shown for citie s fo r which a regular straigh t-tim e workweek was reported. 3 The prevalence of negotiated health, in surance, and pension program s for lo c a ltran sit operating em ployees was fir s t studied in July 1954. Inform ation fo r these plans was restric ted to those financed en tirely o r in part by the em ployer. Plans financed by work e r s through union dues or a sse ssm e n ts were excluded fro m the study. No attempt was made to secure inform ation on the kind and extent of benefits provided or on the expendi tures fo r such ben efits. 4 T A B L E 1.
