Union Wage Scales and Hours of Local Transit Operating Employees,
October 1,1951
Summary
Union hourly pay scales of bus opera
tors, motormen, and conductors averaged
$1.60 on October 1, 1951, representing an
increase of 10 cents an hour, or 6.5 per
cent over the average of the previous
October. 1/ Upward scale adjustments effec
tive during the 12-month period benefited
95 percent of the transit workers included
in the study.
Standard weekly schedules of work were
reported for over five-sixths of the opera
ting employees surveyed on October 1, 1951*
Of those Having a standard workweek, sched
ules of 44 hours were in effect for threeeights of the workers and of AO hours for
over a third. On October 1, 1951, weekly
standard schedules averaged A3*A hours.
Scope and Method of Survey
The Bureau of Labor Statistics has
conducted annual surveys in
the local
transit industry since 1921. This study is
the thirty-first in the series.
The information included in this re
port is based on union scales in effect on
October 1, 1951* The study covered ap
proximately 100,000 local city transit
operating employees in 76 major cities
ranging in population from about 4-0,000 to
over 1,000,000. Trackmen and maintenance
workers were excluded from the study.
Municipally owned intra-city transit
systems were included, if unions acted as
bargaining agents for the employees.
Of
the total union membership* surveyed,
77
percent operated 1-raan cars and busses; 13
percent, 2-man cars; and 10 percent were
on elevated and sutway lines.
Data were obtained primarily from lo
cal union officials by mail questionnaire.
In a few cities information was obtained
by personal visits of Bureau field repre
sentatives.
mum
Union scales are defined as the mini
wage rates and maximum schedules of

Bulletin No. 1019 - Union Wage’s and Hours:

ber 1, 1950.
hours agreed upon through collective bar
gaining
between employers and unions.
Rates in excess of the negotiated minimum
which may be peid for special qualifica
tions or for other reasons are not included.
Average rates, designed to show cur
rent levels, are based on all rates report
ed for the current year in the cities
covered, regardless of workers* length of
experience. Individual rates are weighted
by the number of union members reported as
working at each rate. These averages are
not measures for yearly comparisons be
cause of annual changes in membership and
in classifications studied.
In the index computations, year-toyear changes in union scales are obtained
Icy weighting comparable quotations for two
consecutive years by membership for the
current year. In this manner, chain index
es suitable for measuring trends are con
structed.
Beginning with this report, the index
base has been changed from July 1, 1939,
to the average of the 3-year period 1947-49.
This report presents index tables computed
on both the old,and new bases. Indexes
computed on the 1939 base will be discon
tinued in future reports.
Trends in Union Wage Scales
The index of union hourly scales for
local transit
operating employees
on
October 1, 1951, was IB.2 percent above the
3-ye&r average (1947-49)preceding the out
break of hostilities in Korea and 106.5
percent
above the
June 1, 1939 level
(table l). The advance of 6.5 percent
during the year exceeded the gains regis
tered in each of the two preceding 12-month
periods when increases averaged 4*8 and
4ol percent, respectively.
Over nine-tenths of the local transit
workers studied had their pay scales ad
justed upward as the result of negotiated
contracts becoming effective between Octo
ber 1, 1950, and October 1, 1951. The in
creases averaged 9.8 cents and ranged from
2 to over 20 cents an hour.
For over
three-fifths of those receiving scale ad
vances, the increases ranged from 7 to 13
cents; about a tenth received less than 7
cents an hour and a sixth received advances
of 15 cents or more. Elevated and subway
operators recorded the greatest gain with
2
an average increase of 12.5 cents an hour;
operators of 1-man cars and busses ad
vanced their scales 9©5 cents, on the av
erage, and motormen and conductors of
2-man cars moved up 9*3 cents. These ad
justments represented gains of 8.3* 6.4*
and 6.2 percent, respectively (table 2).
At least 9 of every 10 union opera
ting employees studied in each type of
conveyance had pay increases between Octo
ber 1, 1930, and October 1, 1931* Most of
the 1-man car and bus operators had in
creases of 4 to 10 percent. On a centsper-hour basis, the advances typically
ranged from 7 to 13 cents, although a
seventh of the operators received 15 cents
or more. In 2-man car operations, twofifths of the motormen and conductors re
ceived hourly increases of from 7 to 8
cents, a fourth from 12 to 13 cents and
about a fifth from 14 to 20 cents.
For
over two-fifths of the operating employees
on elevated and subway systems, the ad
justments varied from 12 to 14 cents an
hour, another three-eighths advanced their
hourly scale at least 15 cents (tables 3
and 4).
Wage Scale Variations
In most union agreements covering
local transit operating employees, hourly
scales generally are graduated on the basis
of length of service. An entrance or
starting rate, one or more intermediate
rates, and a maximum or top rate 2/ are
usually provided. Although the time in
terval between rate steps varies from city
to city, the entrance rate is most fre
quently paid for the first 3 or 6 months
and the intermediate rate for the remainder
of the first year of employment. Agree
ments in a few cities, including Reading
and San Francisco, provided for a single
scale regardless of length of service.
Entrance rates for 1-man car and bus
operators ranged from $1.10 in Wichita,
Charlotte, and Savannah to $1.72 in Chicago.
Seattle, with a rate of $1,705, had the
second highest entrance rate. The lowest
starting rate ($1.34) reported for 2-man
surface-car operators was in Los Angeles
and the highest ($1.62) in Chicago.
2/ This so-called maxinrum or top
rate is really a minimum 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 more.
Maximum or top scales for busses and
1-man surface-car operators ranged from
$1.20 in Savannah to $1*84 in Chicago.
Top scales for operators of 2-man surfacecars ranged from $1.42 in Los Angeles to
$1.72 in Chicago.
Nationally, average hourly
scales
showed little variation by type of convey
ance operated. Union scales on October 1,
1951* averaged $1.60 an hour for operators
of 1-man cars and busses, $1.59 for motormen and conductors of 2-man cars and $1.63
for operators
of elevated and subway
equipment.
For about 70 percent of the employees
included in the study, union rates ranged
from $1.50 to $1.75 an hour. Less than 5
percent were at rates below $1.35 and 11
percent had rates of at least $1.75 an
hour. Over three-fifths of the 1-man car
and bus operators studied were covered by
contracts providing rates of from $1.55 to
$1.75 an hour. Although slightly less
than half of the motormen and conductors
on 2-man surface-cars had hourly rates
ranging from $1.50 to $1.60, over a third
ranged from $1.65 to $1.75. A fifth of
the subway and elevated operators received
at least $1.85 an hour; a slightly larger
proportion had rates ranging from $1.55 to
$1.65, and rates for an additional sixth
of the employees ranged from $1.40 to
$1.45 an hour (table 5 ).
City and Regional Rate Differentials
Average wage scales for union local
transit operating employees varied widely
among the 76 cities studied, ranging from
$lo20 an hour in Savannah to $1.75 in
Seattle. In 19 cities, the wage level was
$1.60 or more an hour; in 27, the level
ranged from $1.30 to $1.50 (table 6).
Oklahoma City and Savannah were the only
cities with scale levels of less than $1.25
an hour.
Wage scales of local transit workers
in 5 of the survey cities remained un
changed between October 1, 1950, and Octo
ber 1, 1951o Increases in the other cities
ranged from 2 cents an hour in Chattanooga,
Mobile, and Norfolk to 20 cents in Louis
ville. Raises of 5 to 10 cents were re
corded in 31 of these cities and of 10 to
15 cents in 23 others.
Local transit workers
wage scales
tend to vary
directly with city size.
There was comparatively little variation
in the averages for the 3 largest size
groups. A 14-cent differential, however,
3
existed between
the average for
the
2^0,000 to 500,000 population group and
the next smaller size group (table 6).
gion was highest ($1.63) and the Soutiiwest
lowest ($1.13) (table 7).
Standard Workweek
Within each size group, the rate
levels did not necessarily vary according
to city size. For example, rate levels
for New Haven, Providence, and Springfield,
in the fourth size population group, ex
ceeded the average for cities having a
population of a million or more.
Minne
apolis and Pittsburgh ranked seventh and
eighth, respectively, in city scale levels,
whereas such large metropolitan centers as
New York and Philadelphia were sixteenth
and twenty-third, respectively, among the
cities surveyed.
On a regional basis, average union
scales for all classifications of local
transit operating employees were highest
in New England ($1.63) and lowest in the
Southwest ($1.39).
The Middle Atlantic
and Great Lakes regions also exceeded the
national average of $1.60 an hour. Re
gional averages for 1-man car and bus op
erators, who comprised over three-fourths
of the workers included in the study,
followed a somewhat similar pattern. For
2-man car operators, the Great Lakes re
Although over
four-fifths of the
workers were reported as having a standard
workweek on October 1, 1951, no straighttime weekly hours were reported for about
a third of the cities studied. In those
cities where regular schedules were in
effect, the typical workweek for 1-man car
and bus operators consisted of 40 hours;
for 2-man cars, 4-0 and 44. hour workweeks
were of almost equal importance; and 44hour straight-time schedules prevailed for
three-fourths of the elevated and subway
operators. The standard workweek averaged
4-3.4 hours for all types of conveyances on
October 1, 1951.
Union Scales of Wages and Hours, by City
A listing of union wage scales in
effect October 1, 1951, and October 1,
1950, is presented in table 9 for each of
the 76 cities included in the current sur
vey. Weekly hours in effect on these dates
are also shown for those cities that re
ported a regular workweek after which
premium overtime was paid.
