V W age Chronology: A.T. & T.—Long Lines Department, 1940—64 Introduction Employees assigned to various departments are not only classified by occupation, which determines rate range of pay, but also by group, which deter mines how related wage practices are applied. With certain exceptions, all employees are classi fied as Group A or B depending on their function.1 In essence, Group A encompasses the employees engaged in construction, maintenance, and switch board operation, and Group B includes those em ployees performing administrative office and house-service work. All administrative office em ployees, composed of clerks and employees per forming desk work, are classified in the B group. Plant central office employees are classified in both groups; craftsmen, such as equipment maintenancemen and testboardmen, are in Group A, while caretakers and report clerks are in Group B. All plant outside maintenance men are classed A and plant gang employees are A or B, depending on occupation. Traffic central office employees, com posed almost entirely of operators and service assistants, are in group A. Salary rates and progression from the minimum or starting rate are governed by well-defined schedules. These schedules explicitly set forth the amount of time required to move from one step in the progression to another as well as the weekly salary increase accompanying each step upward. Movement up the scale is practically automatic. Salary rates vary by locality. Working practices vary among and within de partments by occupational group and length of service. These practices, which were established 1940—52 T h e Long Lines Department of the American Telephone & Telegraph Co. is a separate operating unit of the Bell System, which, together with 21 associated Bell Cos. and several thousand inde pendent telephone companies, furnishes telephone service throughout the United States and to for eign countries and ships at sea. It operates toll lines and related equipment for communication between and through the territories of the asso ciated and independent companies. In addition to long distance telephone service, it furnishes various other communication services, including teletypewriter exchange service, private line tele phone and telegraph service, radio and television program transmission service, and other special services. To operate this network, Long Lines employs approximately 23,000 workers in about 390 local ities in the United States. Approximately 100 gangs are maintained to construct and repair long distance telephone lines. Despite this wide dis persal, about one-third of the Department's em ployees are concentrated in the New York metro politan area, the site of its headquarters. Long Lines operations are allocated among func tional groups, i. e., accounting, commercial, engi neering, legal, personnel, plant, publicity, traffic, and treasury. Traffic employees who operate the equipment necessary to establish connections be tween various localities, and plant employees who construct, install and maintain the operating facil ities, are the most important numerically. Cleri cal employees, who also constitute a large group, are assigned throughout the various functional groups. i Classification of employees into groups had its origin prior to the enact ment of the Fair Labor Standards Act. Group A employees, during that period, received overtime pay; Group B employees did not. l 2 departmentally before and for some time after the first collective-bargaining agreement, are also highly detailed. In some cases, working practices, such as holidays observed, also vary by locality. Since 1919, the year in which the Association of Employees of the Long Lines Department was formed, Long Lines employees have been repre sented by a number of labor organizations. The Association of Employees of the Long Lines De partment, functioning through an employee repre sentation plan, became an independent labor organization in 1935. In 1939, the employees organized the Federation of Long Lines Telephone Workers which was renamed American Union of Telephone Workers in 1946. During the various phases of its existence, the union was unaffiliated, affiliated with the [National Federation of Tele phone Workers,2and affiliated with the Telephone Workers Organizing Committee (CIO). The National Federation of Telephone Workers was renamed Communications Workers of America in 1947 and voted to affiliate with the CIO in 1949, at which time the Long Lines section of TWOC (CIO) was made Division No. 10 of the national union. In April 1951, the organizational structure of CWA was changed to the two-level form of locals and international, and in May of that year, CWA-CIO was substituted for Division No. 10 as the bargaining agent for Long Lines employees. The first collective-bargaining contract between the Long Lines Department and the Federation of Long Lines Telephone Workers became effective in October 1940. By its terms, the existing wage schedules and working practices were made a part of the agreement. Provisions reported under that date do not, therefore, necessarily indicate changes in prior conditions of employment. This chro nology traces changes affecting full-time employees since 1940 as provided by collective-bargaining agreements and by directive orders of the National War Labor Board. The chronology deals with changes affecting traffic, plant, and clerical em ployees. Practices relating solely to employees in the commercial, engineering, accounting, legal, personnel, publicity, and treasury departments are not reported. The working practices for these employees, however, closely follow those governing administrative office employees. The 1952 agreement between the company and the CWA-CIO contained no wage reopening. It went into effect on Ju ly 5, 1952, and notice of intent to b argain w as given by the union early in May 1953. 1 9 5 3 -6 4 N e g o tia tio n s between American Telephone & Telegraph Co.’s Long Lines Department and the Communications Workers of America over the 12 years, 1953 through 1964, resulted in gradually lengthening contract periods, substantial wage in creases, and improvements in and additions to the fringe benefits provided employees.3 Since the agreement effective in July 1952 and summarized in this Long Lines wage chronology, 10 additional agreements have governed relations between the parties. Those negotiated between 1953 and 1956 each ran for a 1-year term; the 1958 agreement remained in effect for 17 months and the 1959 agreement for 16 months. In 1960, the company and the union signed a contract which ran for 3 years, with two wage reopenings, and in 1963 a minimum 38-month agreement, also with two wage reopenings. During each negotiation, the union proposed a general wage increase and reclassification of some towns into higher rated zones. Frequently, it also proposed reductions in the time required to pro gress from the minimum to the maximum job rate and the elimination of area differentials. It also asked for various changes in supplementary bene fits. Liberalized vacations, for example, were an issue in 1953, 1956, 1958, and 1960. Reductions in the workweek, in some cases to 35 hours, were also proposed a number of times. A company-paid health and welfare plan was demanded in each negotiation from 1953 until a plan was established by the 1963 contract. ^ An independent confederation of autonomous loca l unions organized in 1938. 3 Each o f the contracts was for a specified minimum period, and could be terminated at the end of the period by either party on 60 days’ prior written notice. 3 Of the 10 settlements, 2 were wage reopeners and therefore covered only wage items, and 8 changed both wages and supplementary benefits. In addition to wage increases, most of the settle ments classified some towns into higher rated zones and two reduced the length of time required for employees in specified classifications to progress from the minimum to the maximum rate for their job. Over the period from 1952 through the 1963 settlement, the basic maximum rates of pay for long distance operators increased an average of 45 percent or about $26 a week. In 1953, negotiations were opened in May, about 2 months before the scheduled termination date of the existing agreement. The 1-year settlement reached on September 2,1953, increased wages by amounts ranging up to $8 a week, including in creases resulting from shortening all 6 ^ -year progression schedules to 6 years. The waiting period for payment for absence because of illness was reduced. In 1954, bargaining began in mid-August and on October 9, following 9 weeks of negotiations, the parties announced agreement on a contract to remain in effect for 1 year from October 24. It provided wage advances effective October 9 (in cluding those resulting from reclassification of several towns) of up to $5.50 a week for employees with at least 1 year of service. Wage rates of em ployees with shorter service were not changed. The 1955 negotiations started on September 22 and continued after termination of the contract on October 28, with agreement being consummated on November 14 and effective on November 28. Weekly wage rates, including increases resulting from the shortening of some progression sched ules and the reclassification of some towns, were increased $1 to $10, effective November 14. The agreement added Veterans Day as a paid holiday in nine States where it had not pre viously been recognized. In 1956, the union opened negotiations on Octo ber 15 and, when the existing contract expired on November 28, the parties agreed to continue nego tiations. The contract agreed to on December 5 raised pay $1 to $11.50 a week, effective immedi ately. The plant night-shift differential was in creased for some employees, health benefits were liberalized, and sickness and disability benefits were extended to workers with 1 but less than 3 years of service. The contract was to run from December 19, 1956, through January 3, 1958. Contract renewal talks were again opened on November 15, 1957, and were concluded on Jan uary 11,1958, with a 16-month agreement effective February 10. Wage increases of $1 to $9.50 were effective January 11, including increases resulting from reclassification of seven towns. Although the union membership authorized a strike, no date was set for a walkout. Maximum carfare allow ances for operators on double tours of duty were increased, and negotiations were continued on group life insurance and amendments to the pen sion plan. On May 12, the company agreed to a contributory life insurance plan for regular em ployees with 6 months or more of service. Benefits were to approximate annual basic wages with a minimum of $2,000. Accord on an amended pen sion plan was reached in January 1959. Negotiations for revisions in the 1958 contract began on May 1,1959, and were concluded on June 10, with agreement on weekly wage advances ranging up to $12 including increases resulting from reclassification of 20 towns. A fourth week of vacation was added for employees with at least 30 years’ service, the differential paid to employees assigned “in-charge” responsibilities was increased, and carfare allowances were raised. Negotiations that began early in September 1960 resulted in agreement on a 3-year contract, after extended negotiations and a vote authorizing the leadership to call a strike. The economic changes agreed to in the contract of November 9 provided wage advances of $1 to $10 including increases resulting from the upgrading of 15 towns, in addi tion to liberalized provisions for vacations, life in surance, and pensions, and establishment of a com pany-financed major medical (Extraordinary Medical Expense) plan. The agreement provided for two annual reppenings. Under the first wage reopening, weekly wages were increased $1 to $9, including the effects of up grading 15 towns. In addition, the progression schedule for operators was reduced from 6 to 5y2 years, effective November 9, 1961. A year later, under the second wage reopening, company and 4 union negotiators agreed to wage increases of $1.50 to $10.50 a week, including increases resulting from the upgrading of 56 towns. The agreement cov ered 23,000 workers in 42 States and the District of Columbia. The 1963 negotiations started on September 20 and were concluded with a 38-month agreement on November 11,1963. Weekly wage rates, including increases resulting from the reclassification of 42 towns, were raised from $1 to $12. Pension and other welfare benefits were also improved. A sep arate agreement was reached on a basic contribu tory hospital-surgical-medical plan. The agree ment, which covered 22,600 employees in 42 States and the District of Columbia, also provided for wage reopeners in 1965 and 1966.

Not included within the term and therefore omitted from this tabulation are adjustments in individual rates (promotions, merit increases, etc.) and minor adjustments in wage structure (such as changes in specific classification rates) that do not have an immediate and noticeable effect on the general wage level. The general changes listed above were the major changes affecting salary rates during the period covered by this chronology. Because of the omission of nongeneral changes, the payment of premium and special rates and other factors, the total of the general wage changes listed will not necessarily coin cide with the movement of straight-time average hourly earnings. 8 Included was an increase of $4 in the minimum and $2 in the maximum rate of the schedule for plant central office craftsmen in New York City, by NWLB directive order, effective Dec. 26, 1944. 3 Included was an increase of $3 in the minimum and maximum rates of traffic operators’ schedules in New York City, $5 in Louisville, Ky., and $5 in Memphis, Tenn., effective Jan. 10,1944, by NWLB directive order.
