Preface
This bulletin is one of a series prepared by the Bureau of Labor Statistics that traces
changes in wage scales and related benefits negotiated by individual employers or combina
tions of employers with a union or group of unions. Benefits unilaterally introduced by an
employer generally are included. The information is obtained largely from collective bargain
ing 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 supple
mented by the parties to the agreement. Wage chronologies deal only with selected features of
collective bargaining or wage determination and 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. For a detailed explanation of the
purpose and scope of the chronology program, see “Wage Chronologies and Salary Trend
Reports,” B L S H a n d b o o k o f M e th o d s, Bulletin 1711 (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 1971),
pages 209-12.
Summarized in this wage chronology are changes in wage rates and related compensation
practices negotiated by Dan River Inc. with the Textile Workers of America between 1943
and 1950, and with the United Textile Workers of America from 1953. Also included are
changes instituted by company action. This bulletin replaces Wage C h ro n o lo g y: D an R iv e r
Inc., 1 9 4 3 -7 2 , published as BLS Bulletin 1767, and incorporates the supplement covering the
1973-74 period. Materials previously published have been supplemented in this bulletin by
contract changes negotiated in 1975 and 1976. The tables and those parts of the earlier texts
which described the bargaining processes are, with minor revisions, included as they were
originally published.
The Bureau has introduced new job titles to eliminate those that denote sex stereotypes.
For this bulletin, however, old titles have been retained where they refer specifically to con
tractual definitions.
The section for the 1972-76 period was prepared in the Division of Trends in Employee
Compensation by Richard E. Schumann and John J. Lacombe II.

Introduction
Dan River, Inc. began its corporate life August 20, 1909,
as Riverside and Dan River Cotton Mills, Inc., the product
of a merger of the Riverside Cotton Mills Co. (incorporated
in 1882) and the Dan River Power and Manufacturing Co.
(incorporated in 1895). In August 1946 the name was
changed to Dan River Mills, Inc. and in July 1970 to its
present form.
In addition to its largest production facilities in the Dan
ville, Virginia area, the company currently operates plants
in Wetumpka, Alabama; Greenville, South Carolina; Morganton and Burlington, North Carolina; and Chickamauga,
Georgia. It manufactures a broad line of cotton and syn
thetic fiber textiles including woven and knit fabrics for
apparel and industrial applications, and sheets, pillowcases,
hosiery, and carpeting for consumer use.
Groundwork for collective bargaining was laid in July
1942 when the Textile Workers Union of America, then an
affiliate of the Congress of Industrial Organizations, won
the right to represent production and maintenance workers
in the company’s Danville Division. The TWUA continued
to represent these employees until July 31, 1951, when the
union’s contract was not renewed. In October of the fol
lowing year the National Labor Relations Board certified
the United Textile Workers of America, then affiliated with
the American Federation of Labor, as official bargaining
agent for the Danville facilities. The UTWA has continued
in this capacity to the present time.
This wage chronology covers only the operations in Dan
ville, which in 1976 employed about 7,500 workers. A large
proportion of the workers are paid under production in
centive plans, and the changes reported in this chronology
relate to these employees as well as to those paid on an
hourly basis. However, special provisions of the contracts
dealing with day-to-day administration of the incentive
plans are omitted.
Since the early 1950’s, wage changes in the southern
textile industry have been similar in size and timing among
the major firms. The changes at Dan River generally have
corresponded to the pattern.

Summary of Contract Negotiations
May 1943l -June 1965
gaining, increased hourly rates of pay for the 9,000-member
bargaining unit by 5 percent and provided an additional
paid holiday. At about the same time, various provisions
of the pension plan were liberalized (the pension plan had
not been included in the collective bargaining agreement).
Eligibility standards for participation in the plan were low
ered, and employees’ contributions were decreased.
Negotiations for an agreement between Dan River and
the Textile Workers Union of America (TWUA) began
shortly after certification of the union by the National
Labor Relations Board in July 1942, but conferences dur
ing July and August failed to bring the parties to complete
agreement. By September, a number of issues remained,
and these were referred to the National War Labor Board.
The Board issued its order in May 1943; findings and con
clusions, together with the provisions agreed upon by the
parties, formed the basis for the firm’s first collective bar
gaining agreement.
The last agreement between the company and the
TWUA, signed August 5, 1950, was to run for 1 year. It
provided for a reopening after 6 months for negotiation of
wages and related benefits. Informal discussions were held
in the autumn of 1950, and as a result, the company
agreed to a wage increase following the pattern which was
developing in southern textile mills.
Negotiations under a contract provision that permitted
wages and benefits to be reopened began on March 6, 1951.
The parties were unable to resolve their differences and a
strike began at midnight of March 31. This strike, part of
a regionwide stoppage, eventually involved over 40,000
textile workers in six States. The company unilaterally
granted a wage increase on April 17, and early in May the
TWUA voted at Dan River and many other southern mills
to end the 5-week strike.
When the TWUA contract expired on July 31, 1951,
it was not renewed, and until late 1952 the workers were
not represented by any union. Late in October of that year,
the United Textile Workers of America was recognized as
the representative of Dan River workers after an election
and certification of the union as bargaining agent by the
National Labor Relations Board. Negotiations were opened
on November 21, 1952, and informal agreement was
reached on April 19, 1953, on a 1-year contract which was
substantially the same as the firm’s former agreement with
the TWUA.
Eight wage-rate increases averaging a total of approxi
mately 55 cents an hour were negotiated by the parties
from 1953 through 1964,.^A number of work and health
benefits were also instituted or changed.
In June 1965, the company, following an impasse in bar
November 1966-October 1969
An 18-month period during which workers were not
covered by a collective bargaining contract ended on
November 25, 1966, when the United Textile Workers of
America (UTWA) and the Dan River Mills, Inc. agreed on
a 3-year pact covering approximately 9,000 workers. The
previous agreement had expired on May 31, 1965. In June
1966, the company unilaterally had increased hourly wage
rates by 4.2 percent, raised the minimum wage, and added a
third paid holiday. These changes were incorporated into
the November agreement, which also established bereave
ment pay and increased payments for hospital room and
board, maternity, and special services. The pact was ratified
by the workers on November 25, 1966, and provided for
possible reopenings on wages and benefits at 6-month
intervals.
In September 1967, under a reopening of the 1966 agree
ment, hourly wage rates were increased by 5.052 percent
and the minimum wage was raised to $1.63. Union negotia
tors had sought a 6.5-percent wage boost and a higher mini
mum than the $1.60 Federal rate effective in February
1968. Other improvements in the settlement included in
creases in hospital room and board and maternity benefits.
Under a second reopening of the 1966 settlement,
workers twice rejected company offers because of what the
union termed “job inequities.” Following the second rejec
tion, the workers gave the union’s negotiating committee
the authority to make the best settlement that could be
reached. The agreement ratified July 26, 1968, covering
approximately 8,000 workers, increased hourly wage rates
by 5.509 percent and raised the minimum wage to $1.72
effective August 12. The contract also increased allowances
for hospital room and board and maternity benefits, and
added a fourth paid holiday.
On July 7, 1969, the UTWA again invoked the reopening
clause of the November 1966 contract and negotiated a
6.619-percent increase in wages, which raised the minimum
plani wage to $1.83 an hour. Also provided was an addi-

an “optional vacation week” without pay for employees
with 5 years of service or more. The pact was ratified by
the union membership on April 1, and provided for possible
periodic reopenings on wages and other benefits.
tional paid holiday—Thanksgiving Day. The changes were
made effective as of the negotiation date.
November 1969-January 1973
Under a reopening of the April 1973 contract, Dan River
Inc. and the UTWA agreed on August 31, 1973 on an 8.25percent wage increase effective September 10,1973, raising
the minimum plant wage rate to $2.20. The settlement was
ratified shortly thereafter.
Although the amended 1966 agreement expired on
November 25, 1969, workers remained on the job. A new
contract was not negotiated until 4 months later, on April 3,
1970. It incorporated the July 1969 gains but made no
significant additions. This 3-year agreement covered 9,500
workers and, similar to previous pacts with the company,
contained a provision for possible periodic reopening.
The union exercised its reopening prerogative on Novem
ber 23, 1971. On December 16, the parties agreed to a
4.972-percent general increase in wages; the increase be
came effective January 3, 1972, and raised the minimum
plant wage to $1.92. Hospital-surgical-medical benefits also
were improved, by increasing hospital room and board
to a maximum of $30 a day for up to 70 days, and mater
nity benefits to a maximum of $300.
June 1974-August 1975
The UTWA notified the company on April 1,1974, that
it would exercise its option to reopen the 1973 contract.
In talks which began on April 16, the union made little
progress toward its goals of a 16^-percent package increase
in wage and fringe items plus company checkoff of union
dues.
On May 22 the company made a “final” offer with
changes to be effective June 3, 1974. The offer provided
for a 10-percent general wage increase which the company
said was the “going rate.” This would raise the minimum
plant rate to $2.42. Other southern textile workers gen
erally had been receiving wage increases of 8 to 10 percent.
Vacation pay would be increased for 15-year-or-more em
ployees, and the hospitalization room and board allowance
for employees and dependents would be Increased. Life
insurance for employees also would be raised. These
changes were implemented unilaterally by the company on
June 3.
The union continued its original demands, except for the
demand for dues checkoff, which was dropped. On July 8,
workers represented by the union went on strike to back
their demands. Although many nonunion workers remained
on the job. The strike continued until September 8 when
the union membership accepted further company offers of
a New Year’s Day holiday, a further increase in life insur
ance, and reduced employee contributions to the pension
plan, in addition to June 3 changes.
January 1973-March 1973
Under a second reopening of the 1970 contract, Dan
River Inc. and the UTWA reached agreement on November
16, 1972, on a 5.5-percent wage increase effective January
8, 1973. The increase raised the minimum plant wage rate
to $2.03. Wage increases in the rest of the southern textile
industry in late 1972 also had amounted to 5.5 percent.
This amount conformed to guidelines set under the Govern
ment’s economic stabilization program.
Substantial health and insurance benefit improvements
also were -agreed upon. A major medical expense plan was
established for employees and dependents to cover extra
ordinary expenses due to prolonged illness or injury. The
plan had a $100 deductible and paid up to $25,000 per life
time with a $1,000 annual restoration clause. Maternity and
obstetrical benefits were increased, and laboratory, X-ray,
and anesthesia benefits were added for employees and de
pendents. The sickness and accident benefit was increased
for employees, as was life insurance for dependents.
August 1975-June 1976
April 1973-May 1974
On August 1, 1975, the UTWA notified Dan River Inc.
that it would exercise its option to reopen the April 1973
contract to discuss wages. The talks concluded on August
15, 1975, with agreement on a 7-percent general wage in
crease effective September 15, 1975, which was ratified by
the union members on August 17, 1975. The plant mini
mum wage rate was increased to $2.59 an hour, from $2.42.
Wage increases in most nonunion southern textile mills
in August and September of 1975 also averaged about 7
percent.
Negotiations to replace the 3-year contract due to expire
on April 3, 1976, began on March 5, 1976. Agreement was
reached on a 1-year contract on April 2, 1976, and ratified
Talks on a contract to replace the amended 1970 pact,
scheduled to expire on April 2,1973, began in mid-February
1973. The union wanted a revised craft progression system,
liberalized vacations, paid-up life insurance at retirement,
and company checkoff of union dues.
On March 23, Dan River Inc. and the UTWA reached
agreement on a 3-year contract, providing for a reduction
in the length of time required to progress from the mini
mum plant rate to the job jate for hires and rehires, liberal
ized computation of holiday pay for incentive workers,
eased holiday eligibility requirements for all workers, and
3
fied on May 24. The increase was similar to those announced
in June by most nonunion mills in the southern textile
industry.
The agreement, covering 7,500 workers and scheduled to
expire April 3, 1977, was subject to reopening at any time
on wages and benefits, with any resulting changes to be
effective at not less than 6-month intervals.
The following tables bring the chronology up to date

by the union on April 4. The contract, effective April 3,
provided for a 7th paid holiday, Christmas Eve, improved
maternity benefits, a second week of optional unpaid vaca
tion for employees with 15 years of service or more, im
proved reporting pay and bereavement pay, and possible
periodic reopenings on wages and benefits.
Under a reopening of the April 1976 contract on May
21, 197 6, the company and the union agreed to a wage in
crease of 9.5 percent, effective June 21, 1976. The settle

workers on hourly rated jobs would be hired at the minimum plant
rate and would remain at this level fo r8 and 4 weeks, respectively, and
