P re fa c e This bulletin is one of a series prepared by the Bureau of Labor Statistics that trace changes in wage scales and related benefits negotiated by individual employers or combinations of employers with a union or group of unions. Benefit* unilaterally introduced by an employer generally are included. The information is obtained largely from collective bargaining agreements and related documents voluntarily filed with the Bureau. Descriptions of the course of collective bargaining are derived from the news media and confirmed and supplemented by the parties to the agreement. Wage chronologies deal only with selected features of collective bargaining or wage determination. They are intended primarily as a tool for research, analysis, and wage administration. References to job security, grievance procedures, methods of piece-rate adjustment, and similar' matters are omitted. This wage chronology summarizes changes in wage rates and related compensation practices negotiated by the Commonwealth Edison Co. of Chicago with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers since 1945. This bulletin replaces Wage Chronology: Commonwealth Edison Co. o f Chicago, 1945-63, published as BLS Report 205 and the 1964-69 supplement to Report 205. Material previously published has been supplemented in this bulletin by contract changes negotiated for the April 1970 through March 1974 period. The earlier texts are included with some augumentation for the 1952-64 period. Increases in wages or supplementary compensation scheduled for introduction on or after August 15, 1971 are affected by current wage stabilization policies. Changes are shown in this chronology as approved by regulatory authorities or, in the absence of a ruling, as negotiated by the parties. The analysis for the April 1964-March 1974 period was prepared in the Division of Trends in Employee Compensation by John J. Lacombe II. in C o n te n ts Page In tro d u c tio n ........................................................................... 1 Summary of contract negotiations..........................................................................................................2 April 1952-April 1962 2 April 1962-April 1964 2 April 1964-April 1966 3 April 1966-April 1969 3 April 1969-April 1970 4 April 1970-April-1971 4 April 1971-April 1973 5 April 1973-March 1974 ....................................................................................................................5 Tables: 1.

They employed 15,000 workers as of February 13, 1972 and had a total generating capacity of 13,972 megawatts (including 3,000 megawatts from nuclear plants) as of December 31, 1972,1 making the combined operation one of the largest in the utility field. The territory serviced covers 13,000 square miles of which 225 square miles are in the metropolitan area of Chicago. This chronology traces changes in wage rates and supplementary compensation practices for production and maintenance workers represented by the Inter national Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) which is affiliated with the AFL-CIO. The IBEW negotiates seven separate basic agreements with the company for wages and wage related items plus com panywide supplemental agreements for medical expense, insurance, and pension plans which covered approxi mately 9,700 employees as of 1972. The chronology covers two of these basic agreements for about 2,700 production and maintenance workers — the pact for such workers in the Chicago area and another for workers at both the Powerton Generating Station in Pekin, 111. (previously the company’s super-power department) and the Kincaid Generating Station near Springfield.2 The companywide supplemental agree ments also are covered by the chronology. The five basic contracts not covered by the chronology relate to plant production and maintenance workers outside the Chicago area, and clerical employees. Under the pact for production and maintenance workers in the Chicago area, employees are classified either as “inside plant” employees who operate in generating stations and substation departments or as* “outside plant” employees who operate in three electrical construction departments (overhead, sub station, and underground) and departments for com mercial, meter, transportation, purchasing, and building service. Before the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) certified the IBEW as bargaining agent, the Powerton Employee’s Alliance represented employees in the company’s super-power department3 and the Employees Representation Plan of Commonwealth Edison Co. represented inside plant and outside plant workers.4 The IBEW was certified to represent workers in the super power department on November 2, 1943 after an NLRB election on October 27, 1943. Subsequent elections were held in March 1944 for inside plant employees and in July 1944 for outside pjant workers; certification dates for these two units were June 7, 1944, and July 24, 1944, respectively. The first agreements with the IBEW were signed on April 12, 1944 for production and maintenance workers in the super-power department and on November 28, 1944 for inside and outside plant workers. Provisions reported in this chronology, how ever, are shown beginning with the October 1945 settlement and provisions shown for 1945 do not necessarily represent changes from previous conditions of employment. For occupations covered by the basic agreements, rate ranges are set with provision for automatic progres sion from the minimum to the maximum. Schedules in the contracts prescribe the length of time required to move from step to step, as well as the rate for each step. The following text summarizes the course of collec tive bargaining activity between the company and union from 1952 to the present. ^ Known as the Super-Power Company of Pekin, 111. until 1938 when it was liquidated and acquired by its parent Commonwealth Edison Co. 4 The inside and outside plant departments then included: Construction, transportation, purchasing, stone, conduit produc tion, testing, service buildings, revenue accounts, revenue protec tion, service and meter, commercial and residential sales, 2 Workers at the Kincaid station first came under the same generating stations, substation, office service and layout, real estate, sales service, and customer. pact covering Powerton workers in March 1966. * New generating station projects (mostly nuclear plants) were expected to increase total generating capability to over 25,440 megawatts by the end of 1980. S u m m a ry o f c o n tr a c t n e g o tia tio n s April 1952-April 1962 From April 1952 to April 1962, negotiations between Commonwealth Edison and locals of the IBEW provided for a number of general wage increases and changes in supplementary benefits. Basic contracts negotiated during this period remained in effect for 2 or 3 years, with provisions for annual wage reopenings. Among the supplementary benefits that were liberalized during these years were shift differentials, vacation provisions, pay for holiday work and rest periods, meal allowances, and pension and insurance benefits. The agreements effective April 1, 1952 remained in effect until March 31, 1954 and provided for a wage reopening on March 31, 1953. Under the 1953 reopener, the parties agreed to an immediate 10-cent general wage increase, inequity adjustments, and a reduction in zone differentials and in the time required to progress from the minimum to the maximum of rate ranges. The 1954 pacts were 2-year agreements with a wage reopener in 1955. Wage increases negotiated under the reopener amounted to from 5 to 7 cents an hour. The 1956 pacts remained in effect for 3 years and provided for wage reopeners in 1957 and 1958. Each reopening resulted in wage increases ranging from 10 to 14 cents an hour. Provision for a wage reopening in the spring of 1960 was written into the April 1959 contracts which were to remain in effect until March 31, 1961. These contracts were reopened, and the settlement that was reached early in April 1960 provided for an increase in wage rates and an extension of the contracts until March 31, 1962, with a wage reopening permitted at the end of March 1961. The pension plan was liberalized in 1959 and extended for a period of 5 years to March 31, 1964. Also in 1959, the terms of the supplemental major medical expense and life insurance agreements were extended to the expiration date of the pension agree ment. Negotiations on wages started in March 1961 under the reopening provision of the 1959 agreements. By mid-April, the parties had agreed to a 7- to 14-cent-anhour general wage increase. Union members ratified the agreements on May 19,1961. April 1962-April 1964 A proposed 2-year agreement,1 drafted by local representatives of the IBEW and the Commonwealth Edison Co. in bargaining that opened on February 19, 1962, was rejected by the union members on May 21, 1962. The negotiators had agreed upon wage-rate increases of 6 to 12 cents an hour, additional increases for crew leaders, higher shift premium pay, a liberaliza tion of funeral leave eligibility, and extended vacations for long-service employees. Employees with service of 25 years or more were to take 6 consecutive weeks of vacation in one of the years of service between 25 and 35; another 6 consecutive weeks of vacation in 1 year for employees with service of 35 years or more,2 and 7 consecutive weeks in 1 year before retirement for employees who had already acquired 35 years of service. Negotiations which were resumed on May 23 resulted in a 2-year agreement differing from the rejected settlement principally in vacation provisions. Instead of the 6 consecutive weeks of vacation at specified intervals for workers with long service, 2 workdays of vacation were added for workers with service of 12 and 22 years’ or more and 1 day for workers with 13 years’ service. Workers earning less than $2.66 an hour were to receive a wage-rate increase of 8 cents instead of 6 or 7 cents; all other wage-rate changes were the same as in the rejected agreement. The new agreement, like the original proposal, provided additional increases for crew leaders and higher shift premium pay and contained a reopening on wages and contract length in the second year. The new agreement was reached by the negotiators on May 24 and ratified by union members on June 15. Under the reopening provision of the 1962 contract, negotiations began on February 20, 1963, and agree ment on a 6- to 15-cent-an-hour wage increase was •reached on March 29. The agreement, ratified by union members on April 24, was extended to March 31, 1965, with provision for a wage reopening on March 31,1964. 1 Agreement was reached with 18 locals; of these, 5 represented workers covered by this chronology. 2 In other years, these employees would be entitled to 4 weeks and 2 days of vacation annually, of which, by local custom, 2 weeks would be taken consecutively. The contract covered 3,350 inside and outside plant workers in the Chicago area and production workers at the Powerton Generating Station, Pekin, 111. April 1964-April 1966 The 1964 round of bargaining between IBEW and the Commonwealth Edison Co. of Chicago was initiated on November 8, 1963, when the union proposed changes in pension, medical expense, and life insurance plans. Existing agreements covering these plans had been scheduled to expire on March 31, 1964. Four pension plan changes were proposed: (1) For service after December 31, 1936, the portion of the pension benefit based on social security taxable earnings would be computed at 2 percent (instead of 1 percent) of such earnings; (2) to this amount would be added a benefit based on the employee’s highest average earnings in any 5 consecutive years; (3) a widow’s benefit, equal to 50 percent of the employee’s annuity when death followed retirement and 25 percent when it preceded retirement, would replace the marital annuity option; and (4) eligibility provisions for both early and disability retirements would be liberalized. The union also asked that the face value of contributory life insurance be raised to equal 2 full years’ salary and that of non contributory life insurance to 1 full year’s salary. Coverage under the medical expense plan would be extended to future retirees at company expense; the company also would assume the full cost of the medical expense plan benefits previously granted employees and retired workers. Shortly thereafter, on November 21, 1963, the union added to its other proposals a demand for a general wage increase of 9 percent the following April under a reopening provision of the 1964 basic agreement. Counterproposals made by the company on February 17, 1964, included a 5-cent-an-hour increase in wages, plus supplementary benefit improvements. Pension benefits for service before January 1, 1937 would have been raised to the basic amount as previously calculated, plus 2 percent (instead of 1 percent) of this amount, multiplied by the number of years of credited service before January 1, 1959, up to a maximum of 25 years. For service after December 31,1936 and before January 1, 1959, benefits per year of service would have been increased 0.2 percent of all earnings. No change would be made in the formula for service after December 31, 1958. An improved marital annuity option also was offered. The company proposed new lifetime maximum coverage under the medical expense plan for both active and retired employees; the face value of contributory life insurance would be raised to equal one and one-half times the employee’s annual salary. Union negotiators rejected the proposed wage increase. Settlement was reached on March 31, 1964, and the pact was later ratified by the workers on April 24. Wage increases ranging from 7 to 13 cents an hour in 1964 were agreed upon, and further increases ranging from 8 to 10 cents an hour were deferred until 1965. The formula for calculating pension benefits for service before 1937 was the basic benefit as previously cal culated, plus 3 percent of the basic amount multiplied by the number of years of credited service before January 1, 1959, not to exceed 25 years. For service after December 31, 1936 and before January 1, 1964, the benefit was increased to 1.2 percent (instead of 1 percent) of taxable social security earnings, plus 2.2 percent (instead of 2 percent) of earnings over the maximum taxable earnings. The additional 1 percent of the basic amount for the period after December 31, 1936 and before January 1, 1959, multiplied by the number of years of credited service before January 1, 1959, up to a maximum of 25 years, was continued. (The value of service after December 31, 1963, was 1 percent of taxable earnings, plus 2 percent of earnings over the maximum taxable earnings.) Benefits for the widows of employees who died before retirement and an improved marital annuity option also were negotiated. The basic contract was extended to March 31, 1966, and agreements on pension, medical expense, and life insurance plans remained in effect until March 31,1969. A pproxim ately 3,200 workers covered by this chronology were affected by the settlement. April 1966-April 1969 Union proposals in the 1966 contract negotiations, submitted on January 28, 1966, included a general wage increase of 11 percent based on job maximums effective through March 31, 1967; a 5-cent-an-hour service recognition increase after 5 years of service at the job maximum and every 5 years thereafter; higher shift and Sunday premium pay; double-time for overtime on an employee’s regularly scheduled days off; an additional paid holiday; and improvements in the vacation schedule. The union also sought to establish deferred vacation and savings incentive plans. A 2-year basic agreement which was reached on March 31, 1966 was ratified by the workers on April 27. It provided for first-year general wage increases ranging from 8 to 18 cents an hour, higher shift premium pay, a liberalized vacation schedule, and beginning in 1967, an additional paid holiday. The contract was to remain in effect through March 31, 1968 and provided for a wage reopening on March 31, -1967. In July 1966, the supplemental agreement which covered major medical expense benefits for annuitants and dependent wives was revised by mutual agreement to supplement, rather than to duplicate, Medicare benefits for those age 65 and over. The company agreed to pay the insurance premium for such coverage. Under the 1967 reopening provision, agreement was reached on March 31, 1967 on general wage increases of from 13 to 23 cents an hour. The agreement, ratified by union members on April 28, extended the basic contract through March 31, 1969, and provided for a wage reopening on March 31, 1968. Negotiations pursuant to the new reopening clause resulted in general wage increases ranging from 15 to 27 cents an hour which were agreed to on April 1, 1968, and later ratified by union members on April 26. The 1966 settlement covered approximately 3,000 inside plant and outside plant workers in the Chicago area and production and maintenance workers at the Powerton and Kincaid Generating Stations. April 1969-April 1970 Settlement was reached on May 9, 1969, by the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers and the Commonwealth Edison Co. of Chicago on a 2-year basic agreement and on 58-month supplemental agreements covering pension, medical expense, and life insurance plans. The previous agreements expired on March 31, 1969. Workers ratified the contracts on June 13, 1969. Negotiations of the supplemental agreements began on November 22, 1968, following the union’s presenta tion of proposals on November 4. The union’s proposals included improvements in the medical expense plans in 1969 and 1970 and an increase in noncontributory life insurance. Pension benefits would have been increased and a normal benefit would have been provided, at the option of the employee, upon attaining any combination of age and credited service totaling 85 points (e.g., age 55 with 30 years of service). In addition, the union sought vested pensions and benefits for future retired workers that would vary according to changes in the Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Price Index. The supplemental agreements would have had terms of 2Vi years instead of 5 years. As talks continued in mid-February 1969, the union submitted its basic contract proposals which included a general wage increase of 14 percent based on job maximums to be effective through March 31, 1970, increased shift and Sunday premium pay, 2 additional holidays, and a liberalized vacation schedule. The settlement provided for general wage increases ranging from 17 to 30 cents an hour in 1969, higher shift premium pay, and in 1970 and 1971, liberalizations in the vacation schedule. The major medical expense plan for service annuitants and their wives was improved to pay 80 percent of all covered expenses and the hospital’s fee for a semiprivate room, and the deductible portion of the plan was reduced. The company agreed to pay the increased cost of this plan, and also to increase its contributions to the comprehensive medical expense plan for employees. It also agreed to increase the additional life insurance it provided to supplement contributory life insurance. In addition, the employee’s life insurance was tripled when death results from an injury on the job. Pension benefits were increased substantially. The formula for calculating pension benefits for service before 1937 was the amount as previously calculated, plus $15 annually for each year of credited service before 1937. The benefit also was increased for service after 1936. The total benefit was reduced by half of any social security old age benefit for which the employee was eligible at retirement. The disability benefit was extended to employees under age 45, who had 10 years of service or more and could qualify for benefits under the Federal Old Age and Survivors Insurance Act. Other pension changes included the establishment of vesting for employees age 40 with 15 years of service, and the expansion of the widow’s benefit to cover all spouses. In 1970, early retirement was allowed at age 55 for employees with 10 years of service. Finally, an allow ance was provided for a spouse who did not qualify for a spouse’s benefit under the pension plan. Approximately 2,800 plant workers in inside and outside departments in the Chicago area and production and maintenance workers at the Powerton and Kincaid Generating Stations were covered by the settlement. The basic contract was to be in effect until March 31, 1971, and provided for a wage reopening on March 31, 1970; the supplemental agreements covering pension, medical expense, and life insurance plans were scheduled to expire on January 31, 1974. April 1970-April 1971 In January 1970 the IBEW notified Commonwealth Edison that it wanted to negotiate changes under the reopening provision of their 1969 contract. The union’s demands included a 20-percent general wage increase; a reduction to 1 year in the time required to progress to maximum job rates; and introduction of a service recognition payment of 15 cents per hour after 20 years of service or after 10 years at the maximum rate of an employee’s job classification, whichever occurred first, and after each subsequent 5 years. The company proposed a 1-year extension of the 1969 pact through March 1972. Bargaining began on February 20 and settlement was reached on March 31. It provided for an April 1, 1970, wage increase ranging from 20 to 40 cents an hour, plus 4 cents for those whose maximum job rate was $4.81 or higher. The 1969 pact was to be extended to March 31, 1972 with provision for a wage reopening on March 31, 1971. The union’s negotiating committee backed the accord, but workers rejected the 1-year contract exten sion according to a vote count announced April 24. On April 30 and May 4 the negotiators met to consider changes in the memorandum of agreement, but no progress was made and the matter was submitted to binding arbitration. After hearing testimony, the arbitration board handed down a decision on August 17, 1970. The award upheld the memorandum of agreement dated March 31, 1970, except that the contract extension was disallowed and the original termination date of the 1969 pact, March 31, 1971, was retained. April 1971-April 1973 Bargaining on a new basic contract to replace the one scheduled to expire on March 31, 1971 began on February 22, 1971, when the IBEW submitted contract proposals to Commonwealth Edison. Key demands included a 25-percent general wage increase based on job maximums, a shortening of time and rate steps, double time for all overtime, 2 additional paid holidays, and a liberalized vacation plan. On March 26, the company responded with its own proposals of wage increases ranging from 8 to 19 cents an hour, an improved deferred vacation plan, and an improved travel reimbursement allowance for transferred employees. Bargaining continued and settlement was reached on April 7. The pact called for wage increases ranging from 25 to 50 cents an hour effective April 1, 1971; an increased shift differential; double time for work over 16 consecutive hours; and revisions in weekend premium pay. Other changes included an additional paid holiday; establishment of a service anniversary vacation of 5 additional workdays in the years in which an employee attained 25, 32, 39, and 46 years of service; and an increased meal allowance. The company also agreed to hike its contribution to the hospital and surgical plan. Ratification was completed by April 30, and the basic contract was scheduled to remain in effect until March 31, 1973, with provision for a wage reopening on March 31, 1972. On February 17, 1972, a settlement which was reached under the reopening clause resulted in wage increases ranging from 20 to 45 cents an hour effective April 1, 1972. The pact was ratified March 17. About 2,700 plant workers in inside and outside departments in the Chicago area and production and maintenance workers at the Powerton and Kincaid Generating Stations were covered. Under the wage stabilization policies of the Federal government, the contract was submitted to the Pay Board and approved on April 26, 1972. April 1973-March 1974 On March 29, 1973, IBEW and Commonwealth Edison reached agreement on a new 2-year basic agreement which workers ratified on April 25. Talks had begun on February 20. Key union demands included increased wages and shift premium, additional holidays, double time for overtime, a liberalized vacation plan, and establishment of a savings plan. Terms of the agreement provided for wage increases ranging from 24 to 48 cents an hour, effective April 1973. The pact also liberalized, in both 1973 and 1974, the vacation plan for employees in certain seniority brackets. The basic contract, which was to remain in effect until March 31, 1975, provided for a March 31, 1974 reopening on wages, and also on the question of a 1-year extension of the pact. The following tables bring the chronology up to date through March 31, 1974, except for the supplemental agreements for pension, medical expense, and life insurance plans which were negotiated in 1969 and scheduled to remain in effect through January 31, 1974.

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 were the major changes affecting wage 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 coincide necessarily with the movement of straight-time average hourly earnings. 2 Previous increases under contracts with the IBEW were: When the agreement of Apr. 12, 1944 was negotiated for the super-power department, increases in minimum rates and acceleration of rates of progression were granted to approxi mately 80 employees. This was in accordance with a ruling of the Regional War Labor Board. The average increase for the department was 0.3 cent an hour. By terms o f the Nov. 28, 1944 agreement, inside and outside plant employees received a 1-cent-an-hour increase. 3 Company used 173.33 hours a month to convert monthly rates and increases to hourly rates and increases (40 hours a week x 4-1/3 weeks). ^ Average increases are union estimates for entire bargaining unit which included in addition to workers under the 2 agreements covered by this chronology, workers under several separate agreements. 5 Increase applied to all production and maintenance workers. Bargaining unit pay schedules having maximum rates of pay of $3.01 or less were not increased. 6 Average increase is for entire bargaining unit which included, in addition to workers under 2 agreements covered by this chronology, workers under several separate agreements.

Effective Apr. 1, 1959, the name of the Super-Power Division was changed to Powerton Generating Station. The new occupational titles in that operation were the result of a change in terminology, not a change in occupational composition. Wage rates for the occupational titles formerly reported are shown to the date of the change; rates for a selection of new occupational titles are shown from that date. 2 The 1945 monthly rates have been converted to hourly rates by dividing by 173.3 (40 hours a week times 4-1/3 weeks). 3 Progression from the minimum to maximum is as follows: a -3 months; 6 months; 1 year, 3 months; 2 years; 3 years. b - 3 months; 9 months; 1 year, 3 months; 1 year, 9 months; 2 years, 6 months; 3 years, 3 months; 4 years; 4 years, 9 months. c - 6 months; 1 year; 1 year, 6 months; 2 years; 2 years, 6 months; 3 years; 3 years, 9 months, 4 years, 6 months. d -6 months; 1 year; 1 year, 6 months; 2 years; 2 years, 9 months; 3 years, 6 months; 4 years, 3 months; 5 years. e - 6 months; 1 year; 1 year, 6 months; 2 years; 2 years, 6 months; 3 years, 3 months; 4 years; 4 years, 9 months; 5 years, 6 months. f - 3 years; 6 years; 9 years; 12 years; 15 years; 18 years. g -3 months; 6 months; 1 year; 1 year, 6 months; 2 years; 2 years, 6 months; 3 years; 3 years, 6 months. 4 Includes adjustments of Aug. 1, 1946, retroactive to Sept. 16, 1945. Adjustments varied by occupation from $2.50 to $20 a month. 5 Rates established Oct. 29,1946. Minimum, $1.66; maximum, $1.92. 6 Job title eliminated. 7 Rates established Apr. 19, 1950. Minimum, $1.97; maximum, $2.23. 8 Maximum of $60 a month at a rate of $10 a month for each 3 years of uninterrupted substation operating service added to the single Oct. 1, 1945 rate of substation operators. This service increase was included in Oct. 2, 1950 progression schedules, when the previous practice was discontinued. 9 These rates established Apr. 1, 1950. 10 Rates established Jan. 16,1947. Minimum, $1.58; maximum, $1.80. 11 R^tes established Mar. 27,1946. Minimum, $1.33; maximum, $1.56. 12 Rates established Aug. 4 ,1 9 4 8 . Minimum, $1.79; maximum,.$2.02. 13 Rates established Nov. 5, 1947. Minimum, $1.21; maximum, $1.44. 14 Rates established Feb. 10,1947. Minimum, $1.51; maximum, $1.74. 15 Applies to repairmen at Lemont. Title revised November 1946. 1^ Progression from the minimum to maximum was as follows: a -3 months; 6 months; 1 year; 1 year, 9 months; 2 years, 6 months. b -3 months; 9 months; 1 year, 3 months; 1 year, 9 months; 2 years, 3 months; 2 years, 9 months; 3 years, 3 months; 4 years. c - 6 months; 1 year; 1 year, 6 months; 2 years; 2 years, 6 months; 3 years; 3 years, 6 months; 4 years. d -6 months; 1 year; 1 year, 6 months; 2 years; 2 years, 6 months; 3 years; 3 years, 6 months; 4 years; 4 years, 6 months. e - 3 months; 6 months; 1 year; 1 year, 6 months; 2 years; 2 years, 6 months; 3 years. f - 3 months; 6 months; 1 year; 1 year, 6 months; 2 years; 2 years, 6 months; 3 years, 3 months; 4 years. g—3 months; 6 months; 1 year; 1 year, 6 months; 2 years; 2 years, 6 months; 3 years; 3 years, 6 months; 4 years. h - 6 months; 1 year; 1 year, 6 months; 2 years; 2 years, 6 months; 3 years; 3 years, 6 months. i—3 months; 6 months; 1 year; 1 year, 6 months; 2 years, 3 months; 3 years.
