Wage ChronologyBerkshire Hathaway 1969-71 As in previous years, contract renewal demands of the Textile Workers Union of America (TWUA) called for closing the gap between wages in the textile industry and other industries. The union backed its demands by citing increases in the cost of living, relative wages in textiles and other industries, and rising sales and profits. The union sought a fairer share of profits for workers to help offset increases in the cost of living. The TWUA met on Feb. 8, 1969, in New York City to formulate demands to be presented to the major northern cotton-synthetic textile companies. Their over all demands called for a 20-percent wage and fringe ben efit package plus a pension plan. Other than a wage increase, the union sought increased medical-surgicalhospital insurance, life insurance, weekly sickness and accident benefits, vacations, holidays, and severance pay. Also sought was the establishment of an employerpaid pension plan. The union served its 60-day notice upon employers whose contracts were to expire Apr. 15, 1969. Informal negotiations began in late February between the industry and uniop; formal negotiations with Berk shire Hathaway began on Mar. 11, 1969, in Boston. Bargaining continued through the early spring between the TWUA and the major textile companies. Settlement was reached on Apr. 10, 1969, between the TWUA and the American Thread Co. Unlike previous years, how ever, the industry did not follow the lead set by American Thread, and contracts signed by the other companies contained significant differences. Berkshire Hathaway and the union reached agreement on Apr. 14, 1969. The agreement provided a 46-cent-an-hour package Supplement to Bulletin 1541 U.S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR Bureau of Labor Statistics August 1971 V increase, equivalent to a 20-percent wage and fringe ben efit increase over 3 years. Ther first-year package amounted to 21 cents an hour as a result of an 18-cent general wage increase plus 3 cents in fringe benefits. The agreement also provided for deferred wage increases of 4.4 percent in 1970, and 5 percent in 1971. Additional benefits included increased life insurance, hospitalization, and surgical benefits. Independence Day was added as a seventh paid holiday. The company ex tended its summer shutdown period from 1 to 2 weeks, retaining the option to close for only 1 week. Em ployees received 2 weeks of vacation during a 2-week shutdown, and the option to elect either a 1- or 2-week vacation in the case of a 1-week shutdown. Provision was made for paying accumulated prorata vacation pay to the surviving spouse or next of kin of an em ployee who died. Also established was bereavement pay for up to 3 days upon death in an employee’s imme diate family. Effective Apr. 13, 1970, Berkshire Hathaway became a participating employer in the Textile Workers Pension Fund, National Plan Sub-Fund. The new employerfinanced pension plan was integrated with the retirement separation pay plan under which benefits were formerly paid out of the employer’s general fund. After Apr. 16, 1972, employees have the option of continuing to re ceive benefits under either the retirement separation pay plan or the pension plan. The new agreement, effective Apr. 16, 1969, through Apr. 15, 1972, provided benefits for the 13,000 workers employed at the company’s New Bedford, Mass., plant at the time the contract was signed.
