W age Chronology—

Ford Motor Company
October 1973-September 1976
On October 26, 1973, the Auto Workers (UAW)
and Ford Motor Co. reached tentative agreement on a
3-year national pact for 185,000 workers (which was
subsequently accepted by the union), along the lines
of a pattern-setting agreement reached at Chrysler
Corp. on September 17.1 The Chrysler pact had incor­
porated a number of innovative features which had been
adopted as bargaining goals for the industry by a UAW
Special Collective Bargaining Convention held March
22-23.
In that Convention, a discussion of “noneconomic”
issues had preceded “economic” matters, emphasizing
the union membership’s concern for an end to man­
datory overtime, eased production standards, limits on
subcontracting of work, expanded job transfer rights,
and improved health and safety standards.2 The union’s
wage goals included substantial wage hikes, a revised
cost-of-living escalator formula, “full wage parity” for
workers in the United States and Canada, and increased
overtime premiums. Other goals included additional
holidays, liberalized vacations and a vacation bonus,
improved health benefits and the establishment of a
dental program, improved pensions, with emphasis on
benefits for those already retired and “30 (years)-and-'
out” retirement (with “special consideration” for forge
and foundry workers) regardless of age. Also discussed
were increased supplemental unemployment benefits plan
financing, and an attendance incentive program.
Although talks had begun in mid-July at each of the
Big 3 auto companies, little negotiating progress was

ments, October 1973.
2 “Noneconomic” issues (primarily production standards) had
resulted in a number of “ministrikes” at various General Motors
facilities in late 1972.

made until the union selected a “target” company with
which it could achieve a pattern settlement. Chrysler was
so selected on August 21 and the bargaining pace at that
company quickened, with negotiating teams at Ford and
General Motors awaiting the results. An impasse was
reached at Chrysler, however, primarily over voluntary
overtime, and when agreement could not be reached by
the September 14 contract termination date, workers
went on strike. Ford and General Motors, which also had
a September 14 expiration date, had agreed to day-today contract extensions on September 10 and workers at
those companies remained on the job. Agreement at the
national level for Chrysler hourly employees was reached
on September 173 and work resumed after the contract
ratification on September 23.
Ford then became the focal point of bargaining, with
the union seeking to improve on the Chrysler package by
gaining “25-and-out” retirement benefits for about
12,000 forge and foundry workers. At Chrysler, adop­
tion of “25-and-out” was to be dependent on results of a
future study of the incidence of illness and longevity of
such workers. Ford forge and foundry retirement and
voluntary overtime were the subjects of hard bargaining
until agreement at the national level was reached on
October 26.4 Agreement on retroactivity of the initial
wage increase was the last item to be resolved. On
November 12, the union announced that the pact had
been approved by other-than-skilled trades employees,
but had been rejected by skilled trades workers—the two
groups had voted separately.5 Skilled trades workers
objected to voluntary overtime provisions which allowed
3An agreement for Chrysler salaried employees represented
by the UAW was reached several days later.
4 General Motors and UAW reached tentative agreement on
November 19.
5The ratification tally showed that skilled workers had
rejected the contract by 20,089 to 5,943, while other workers
had accepted it by 105,843 to 38,684.

the company to upgrade production workers or use
outside help to perform overtime work refused by the
trades workers. The union announced on November 14
that it considered the pact ratified, but that it would
seek renegotiation o f the disputed overtime sections.
The company said that it would explore the problem.
Most local agreements were reached in October and
November. The last local agreement was reached on June
19,1974.
The agreement provided for a general wage increase
retroactive to September 15, 1973, ranging from 22
cents to 33.5 cents an hour as well as for two deferred
annual improvement factor increases ranging from 11.5
cents to 23.5 cents in the second year and 12 cents to 24
cents in the third year of the contract. The merit spread
for skilled trades workers was modified, allowing the
maximum rate of the spread rate to be reached within 3
months after attainment of seniority or being reclassified
to the classification, whichever is later. The pact also
provided for special increases for certain truck drivers
and related classifications and a provision for resolving
local wage claims.
On November 19, 1973, 35 cents of the 40-cent
accumulated cost-of-living allowance was to be incor­
porated into base rates. The escalator clause was revised to
provide 1-cent adjustments for each 0.3-point change in
consecutive 3-month averages of a Combined United
States-Canadian Consumer Price Index. To obtain a
Combined Index, the Consumer Price Index for Canada
is multiplied by 0.1 and the Consumer Price Index for
the U.S. is multiplied by 0.9. This ratio approximates
the proportion of auto production and employment in
each country. As the Canadian Index is presently
published on a 1961 base, a conversion factor of
0.8665511 is used to convert the Canadian Index to a
1967 base consistent with that of the U.S. Index; the
previous formula for U.S. workers was based on the U.S.
Index 1957-59=100. The first quarterly escalator adjust­
ment was to be made in December 1973 (through June
1976). One cent of each net quarterly increase in the
allowance is to be diverted to finance fringe items
beginning in March 1974, up to a maximum of 10 cents
over the contract term.
With certain exceptions, voluntary overtime pro­
visions allow workers to decline work (1) after 9 hours a
day for those in manufacturing plants and after 10 hours
a day for those in assembly plants (after 8 hours on
Saturdays at assembly plants); (2) for those in manufac­
turing plants, 1 of every 3 Saturdays, if the previous 2
had been worked, and, for those in assembly plants,
Saturdays in excess of 6 designated 8-hour Saturdays
during a model year (outside the model changeover
period),6 provided a worker in either type of plant is not




absent during the week before the Saturday; and
(3) Sundays for workers not absent during the week
before the Sunday except for a Saturday declined as
allowed under (2) above. The 1973 agreement, and
supplemental agreements reached November 29, 1973,
permit skilled employees in a given plant to elect, as a
group, to have overtime assignments guided by (1) pro­
visions negotiated before the 1973 agreement, (2) pro­
visions of the 1973 agreement as appropriate for other
employees, or (3) special local arrangements having the
approval of the company and the UAW International
staff.
The day after Thanksgiving was added as a paid holiday
in 1974 and the unbroken Christmas-New Year’s holiday
period was extended by 1 paid holiday in the period that
began in 1973 and by 2 paid holidays in the periods that
were to begin in 1974 and 1975. Additionally, shift
premium pay is to be included in holiday pay beginning
with Thanksgiving Day in 1975, but not for Decem­
ber 14, 1975, or for holidays falling within the Christ­
mas-New Year’s period.
The definition of “immediate family” for bereave­
ment pay purposes was expanded and educational pay
increased to $700 per year for tuition and compulsory
fees.
Insurance program improvements include the addition
of three brackets of benefits to the group life and disa­
bility insurance plan for employees in higher wage brack­
ets. Also, for employees at work on or after October 1,
1975, all brackets for life insurance and for accidental
death and dismemberment benefits are to be increased
by $1,000 and $500, respectively. Survivors’ income
benefits also are increased. Hospital-medical-surgicaldrug benefits are improved and a reciprocity program was
established to assure prompt payment when expenses are
incurred away from home. A dental program was
established, as well, for employees and their dependents.
The 6-year pension agreement provides for retirement
at unreduced benefit rates after 30 years of service
regardless of age (“full 30-and-out”). Foundry workers
in specified job classifications who have 25 years of
service or more, are to be given a 20-percent-of-service
credit premium, allowing them to retire on a full benefit
after only 25 years of service on specified job classifica­
tions, regardless of age. The union stated in a letter to
the company dated October 26, 1973, that the same
retirement for forge workers would be the subject of

The model year period begins at the end of the model
launch period (the week frames for the first unit of a new model
are launched plus 3 weeks or else until line speed reaches
scheduled production, whichever is later); it ends 2 weeks before
the announced model build-out date (the date the last unit of
the old model is scheduled to be completed).

bargaining in 1976 if a study should prove that forge
work had an adverse effect on longevity. The principle
of a “lifetime level benefit” was established to end the
“cliff effect” caused by the drop in an early retiree’s
income at age 65 when the supplemental allowance
ceased. Pensions for past and future retirees are now to
be increased in each year of the pension agreement. A
fourth benefit class code was established to provide
higher pension benefits for skilled trades workers and
those in equivalently rated jobs. The Special Age 65
benefit was increased to $6.30 a month with provision
for payment o f the benefit to retirees and survivors
enrolled in'Medicare.
Contributions to the SUB fund for straight-time
hours are increased in the first and third years of the
contract and contributions for overtime hours are
established in the second year and increased in the third
year. Certain insurance premiums for laid-off employees




More worker participation in resolving. problems
involving health and safety are agreed to and a joint
committee is to be set up to study and attempt to
improve the work environment.
The contract is scheduled to remain in effect until
11:59 pjn. September 14, 1976, except for the pension
plan, which is to remain in effect until midnight
September 14, 1979 (or if later, the termination date of
any agreement expiring in 1979). This supplement brings
the Ford Motor Co. wage chronology up to date through
the respective expiration dates, except for possible
cost-of-living adjustments and a reopener in September
1976 under the pension plan to discuss an increase in
survivors’ benefits.
