All motormen and conductors on two-man surface cars and 93 percent of the opera tors on one-man cars and busses received an in crease during the 15-month period. However, over seven-tenths of the elevated and subway em ployees, all of whom were located in New York City, indicated no change in hourly wage rates. As evidenced in the accompanying table, wage rates of the entire group have advanced about 61 percent since 1939, but almost two-thirds of this increase occurred after VJ-day. Basic pay scales of the local transit workers are usually graduated according to the employee’s length of service with the company, but the time between entrance on the job and the first rate change varies considerably from city-to-city, in some cases, as long as a year. M ore commonly, however, wage rates are increased after either 3 or 6 months on the job and the maximum rate 23 reached after 1 year. Agreements in a few cities, including San Francisco, Spokane, San Antonio, and Providence have only one scale regardless of length of service. The hourly rate of $1.37 in San Francisco was the highest entrance rate for both one- and twoman cars. The lowest entrance rates reported were 80 cents an hour for bus drivers (one-man cars) in i This average is based on scales paid to all transit operators in 71 cities, regardless of length of experience. In deriving the averages presented in this article, the individual rates have been weighted by the number of members working at each rate. In the index series, year-to-year changes are based on comparable quotations for the various occupations in both years. 3 This so-called “ maximum rate*’ is actually the minimum scale after a specified period of employment with the company, and is not a maximum rate in the sense that the company may not pay more. 784617—48 (1) Charleston, S. C., and 89 cents for two-man car operators in Omaha. Maximum rates for one-man car operators ranged from 90 cents in Madison, Wis., to $1,455 in Boston. The highest scale reported was $1.52 for bus drivers on owl runs in Detroit, 10 cents above the maximum rate for day runs. Generally, higher rates are specified in the con tracts for operators of one-man vehicles than for two-man cars, the differentials ranging from 5 to 13 cents an hour (effective union scales were reported for two-man cars in only 17 of the 71 cities sur veyed). One noteworthy exception is San Fran cisco. As a result of the most recent contract negotiation in this city, the differential was elimi nated. In July 1946, the operators of two-man cars received 5 cents an hour less than those on one-man cars or busses during the first 6 months of employment. Pay-Rate Changes, July 1,1946, to October 1,1947 D uring this 15-m onth p eriod , negotiations resulted in an increase of 14 percent in hourly rates of both one-man and two-man street car and bus operators bringing their average pay scales to $1.25 and $1.27, respectively. About two-fifths of the one-man car operators received wage in creases of 10 to 15 percent and a fifth between 15 and 20 percent; gains for the remaining operators varied from less than 5 percent to more than 45 percent. Pay scales of nearly half of the motormen and conductors on two-man cars were advanced from 15 to 20 percent, with less than 10 percent receiving larger percentage increases. E m ployees on elevated and subw ay lines averaged $1.19 an hour— only 4 percent higher than on July 1,1946, since rates for the large pro portion of employees in New York City were not increased. In other cities, the net gain for these 2 employees during this period was much larger. For example, in Chicago, their rates were advanced 18 cents an hour— about 15 percent on the average. Increases In Wage Rates Since October 1, 1947 Since October 1, 1947, contract renewals in several cities resulted in higher wage scales. For example, through negotiation in February approxi mately 6,000 bus, trolley, and elevated-subway operators in Philadelphia obtained a 15-cent hourly wage increase. In January, local transit workers in Baltimore also received a 15-cent boost and in October basic rates in Nashville advanced by 12HS cents an hour. Smaller increases ranging from 3 to 8 cents were reported for several other cities. Standard Weekly Hours, October 1, 1947 Payment of premium overtime after a definite number of horns per day, usually 8, or after com pletion of a scheduled run was stipulated in con tracts for local transit workers in over half of the cities surveyed. In the other cities, the typical straight-time workweeks were 40,44, and 48 hours. In several cities, the employees had a shorter schedule in October 1947 than on July 1,1946. T o illustrate, the current straight-time workweek in Boston is 40 hours compared to 42 on July 1,1946. In Los Angeles and New Haven where the 40-hour schedule is now in effect reductions of 4 and 8 hours, respectively, in workweeks were affected within the 15-month period. Scope and Method This bulletin is based on union scales in effect on October 1, 1947, for 106,849 local city transit operating employees in 71 cities. Normally con ducted in mid-year, the 1947 annual study was postponed until October after an analysis of con tract termination dates revealed that exceptionally few contracts were open for renegotiation between July 1 and October 1. The data including copies o f union agreements, were obtained from local union officials through mail questionnaires instead of the personal inter view method, the technique formerly used by the Bureau. Operators of municipally owned intra city transit systems were included if unions acted as bargaining agents for the employees. Track men and maintenance men were excluded. Sixty- four percent of the total membership tabulated operated one-man cars; 27 percent, two-man cars; and 9 percent worked on elevated and subway lines. Table 5 p. 3 presents a listing o f union scales in effect on October 1, 1947 and July 1, 1946. Fre quently contracts stipulated premium pay for extra hours worked on a daily rather than on a weekly basis, usually after 8 hours a day or after the completion of a scheduled run. H om s per week are shown only where comparable informa tion is available for both years.
