Preface
The Bureau of Labor Statistics conducts annual
surveys of wage rates and scheduled hours of work for
specified crafts or jobs as provided in labor-m anagem ent
agreem ents in f o u r industries:
Building construction,
printing, local tran sit, and local trucking.
The studies
present the wage rates in effect as of July 1, of each year,
as reported to the Bureau by the appropriate local labor
organizations in each of the cities included in the survey.
Information on the union scales and hours p re­
vailing in each city is available in October of each year
on request to the Bureau's regional offices as shown on
the inside back cover.
A relea se sum m arizing the rates
for lo c a l-tr a n sit operating em ployees on a nationwide basis
was issued in Novem ber 1967.
This analysis provides
additional data and indexes of the trend of wages and hours
for 1 9 2 9 -6 7 .
This study was conducted in the Bureau's Office
of W ages and Industrial Relations. The bulletin was p re ­
pared by Thomas C. M obley, under the general supervision
of Alvin Bauman.

Union Wages and Hours:
Local-Transit Operating Employees, July 1, 1967
Summary

percent of the operators, averaged 40.2 hours
on July 1, 1967, the same as a year earlier.
A scheduled straight-time workweek of 40
hours, which was in effect in about 4 of
every 5 cities reporting such workweeks,
applied to 7 of every 8 operators of surface
equipment and to all operators of elevated
and subway equipment.

Hourly wage scales of unionized localtransit operating employees averaged $3.22
on July 1, 1967, according to the Bureau of
Labor Statistics annual survey of such scales
in cities of 100, 000 population or more.
Hourly scales averaged $3.18 for operators
of surface equipment, who accounted for about
90 percent of all the workers covered by the
survey, and $3.57 for operators of elevated
and subway equipment.

All but 5 percent of the local-transit
operating employees were covered by con­
tracts which provided for health, insurance,
and pension plans financed either entirely or
in part by the employer. Health and insur­
ance plans financed entirely by the employer
covered slightly more than one-half the work­
ers; pension plans so financed covered about
three-fifths.

All but 6 percent of the operating em ­
ployees had scales of at least $2.50 an hour.
Hourly scales of $2.50 to $3 were in effect
for one-fifth of the workers, $3 to $3.50 for
almost one-half, and $3.50 or more for
slightly more than one-fourth. Among oper­
ators of surface equipment, scales ranged
from $3 to $3.50 an hour for almost onehalf, and $3.50 or more for one-fourth.
Hourly scales of elevated and subway oper­
ators were more concentrated.
One-third
were about evenly divided among three inter­
vals: $3 to $3.20, $3.20 to $3.30, and $3.30
to $3.40. Nearly three-tenths had scales be­
tween $3.40 and $3.50; rates of $3.50 or more
were in effect for about two-fifths of the
operators.

Scope and Method of Study
Union scales in this bulletin are those
scales agreed on through collective bargain­
ing between trade unions and employers, and
are defined as (1) the basic (minimum) wage
scales (excluding holiday, vacation, or other
benefit payments regularly made or credited
to the worker each pay period), and (2) the
maximum schedules of hours at straight-time
rates. Rates exceeding the negotiated mini­
mum, which may be paid for special quali­
fications or other reasons are not included.

The average scale advanced 6.8 percent
during the year ending July 1, 1967, and
brought the Bureau's index of such scales to
146.6 (1957—59 = 100). This was the largest
relative increase since July 1, 1952. The
20-cent increase in the average was the larg­
est cents-per-hour increase recorded since
1929, when these surveys began. Upward
scale adjustments, primarily resulting from
either newly negotiated collective bargaining
agreements or deferred increases negotiated
earlier, were received by 97 percent of the
workers. One-tenth received increases of
less than 3 percent; one-fourth each had scale
advances of 3 to 5 percent and 5 to 7 per­
cent; more than one-fourth had their scales
increased 11 to 12 percent. For operators
of surface cars and buses, the average scale
rose 6.3 percent, or 19 cents an hour. For
elevated and subway operators the increase
was 10.6 percent, or 34 cents an hour.

The information presented in this bulletin
was based on union scales in effect on July 1,
1967, and covered approximately 64,000 localtransit operating employees in 67 cities that
had populations of 100, 000 or more. Track­
men and maintenance workers were excluded
from the study. Operating employees of mu­
nicipally owned transit systems were in­
cluded, if unions acted as the bargaining
agents. Data were obtained primarily from
local union officials by mail questionnaire;
in some instances, Bureau representatives
visited local union officials to obtain the
desired information.
The current survey was designed to re­
flect union wage scales of local-transit oper­
ating employees in all cities of 100, 000 pop­
ulation or more (excluding Honolulu). All
cities that had 500, 000 population or more
were included, as were most cities in the
250, 000—500, 000 group.
The cities in the
100, 000—250, 000 group selected for study
were distributed widely throughout the United

Straight-time w e e k l y work schedules
were reported for surface equipment oper­
ators in 52 of the 67 cities included in the
survey. These schedules, applicable to 92




1

2
States. Data for some cities were weighted
to compensate for cities not surveyed. To
provide appropriate representation in th e
combination of data, each geographic region
was considered separately when city weights
were assigned.
In addition to data for the 67 cities sur­
veyed, table 9 contains information on wage
and hour scales in cities which were within
the scope of the survey but were not studied.
This information, obtained from secondary
sources, was not used in any of the other
tables.




Average hourly scales, designed to show
current levels, were based on all scales re ­
ported in effect on July 1, 1967. 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. Aver­
age cents-per-hour and percent changes from
July 1, 1966, to July 1, 1967, however, were
based on comparable quotations for the vari­
ous classifications in both periods, weighted
by the membership reported for the current
(1967) survey. The index series, designed for
trend purposes, was constructed similarly.
