This report is one of a series prepared by the Bureau of Labor Statistics to trace
changes in wage scales and related benefits negotiated by individual employers or com­
binations of employers with a union or group of unions. Benefits unilaterally introduced
by an employer are generally included. The information is largely obtained from collective
bargaining agreements and related documents, voluntarily filed with the Bureau. Descrip­
tions of the course of collective bargaining are derived from news media and confirmed
and/or supplemented by the parties to the agreement. Wage chronologies deal only with
selected, features of collective bargaining or wage determination. They are intended pri­
marily as a tool for research, analysis, and wage administration. References to job security,
grievance procedure, methodology of piece-rate adjustment, and similar matters are
omitted.
This chronology summarizes changes in wage rates and related wage practices
negotiated by the International Harvester Co. with the United Electrical, Radio and
Machine Workers of America-Farm Equipment Workers, from April 1946 until June 1955,
and the International Union, United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement
Workers of America, since February 1946. This bulletin replaces BLS Report 202—
published as a basic chronology and three supplements— and also adds new material on
negotiated contract changes effective through September 1970. The earlier texts are in­
cluded as they were originally published; no attempt has been made to revise these state­
ments to reflect the current situation.
The analysis for the period 1961-70 was prepared in the Division of Trends in Em­
ployee Compensation by Richard A. Dodd and John J. Lacombe II.

Wage Chronology :

In te r n a tio n a l H a r v e ste r , 1946-70

Introduction

24,000 workers in 10 plants;2 the AFL Federal Labor
Union, the workers in one plant; and the United Steel
Workers of America, the workers in one plant.
This chronology traces the major changes in wage
rates and related wage practices from the date of the
first postwar agreement between the company and FEUE and the UAW-CIO. Only provisions affecting produc­
tion and maintenance workers are shown. Since the
chronology starts with the 1946 agreements, the pro­
visions reported under that date do not necessarily in­
dicate changes in prior conditions of employment.
The 1946 contracts with Farm Equipment Workers
were uniform for all plants covered, but each was signed
locally. The UAW-CIO contracts in that year were also
local agreements but were not uniform, although they
did provide the same general wage increase. In 1950, the
UAW negotiated a master agreement. The most recent
agreements between FE-UE and the company were to
remain in effect until June 30, 1952, without reopening;
the master agreement with UAW was to remain in effect
until August 23, 1955, with the provision that the wagepayment sections could be canceled on April 15, 1953,
under an agreement to negotiate a new incentive system
by that date. The current agreements included a cost-ofliving escalator clause and provision for 4-cents-an-hour
“annual improvement-factor” increases in August of each
year during the life of the agreements.

1946-521
Approximately 60 percent of the employees of the
International Harvester Co. were engaged in production
and maintenance work at the company’s 212 manufac­
turing plants located in seven States. The remainder of
International Harvester’s 102,000 workers were em­
ployed in nonmanufacturing activities. Almost all of the
production workers were represented by two unions—
the United Automobile, Aircraft, and Agricultural Im­
plement Workers of America (UAW-CIO) and the United
Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers of America-Farm
Equipment Workers (FE-UE:Ind.). The company, the
Nation’s largest producer of farm implements and trac­
tors, was a vertically integrated organization that mined
its own coal, operated steel mills and railroads, and manu­
factured and distributed its products.
The company entered its first collective bargaining
agreements with the Farm Equipment Workers Organiz­
ing Committee (FEWOC-CIO) at its Tractor Works in
1938 in Chicago, and with the United Automobile, Air­
craft, and Agricultural Implement Workers of America
(UAW-CIO) in 1941 at its truck plant at Fort Wayne, Ind.
Beginning in 1941, as a result of National Labor Relations
Board elections, the FEWOC-CIO was certified as col­
lective bargaining agent at the company’s plants in East
Moline and Rock Falls, 111., and at the West Pullman and
McCormick plants in Chicago. AFL Federal Labor
Unions were certified at the plants in Milwaukee, Wis.,
and Rock Island, 111., while the UAW-CIO was certified
at the company’s plant in Springfield, Ohio. In 1942, the
company made collective-bargaining agreements with
FEWOC, the AFL Federal Labor Unions, and the UAWCIO; these contracts followed a strike, conciliation of the
dispute by the National Defense Mediation Board, and a
National War Labor Board Directive Order on the issues
over which the parties were unable to agree. During
subsequent years and the years following the war period,
the company’s remaining plants were organized.
Currently, the Farm Equipment Workers (FE),
which became a division of the United Electrical, Radio,
and Machine Workers of America (UE) in October 1949,
represents 28,000 workers in 10 plants;3 the UAW-CIO,



1952-53
Negotiations for a new agreement were begun in the
spring of 1952 by the International Harvester Co. and the
Farm Equipment Division of the United Electrical,
Radio and Machine Workers of America (FE-UE). When
no settlement was reached by the expiration date of the
previous contract, which had been extended from June 30
to August 20, 1952, a work stoppage occurred.

The Lousiville, K y., plant is cou n ted tw ice since the FE-UE
represents the em ployees in the m achining and assem bly division,
while U AW represents em ployees in the fou n d ry .
On N ov. 2, 1949, both unions were expelled from the CIO.
The CIO did n ot officia lly recogn ize the merger and therefore
expelled the unions individually.

On August 21,1952, the stoppage became effective
in 8 of the 10 plants having contracts with this union—
three in Chicago, three others in Illinois, one in Indiana,
and one in Kentucky. Final agreement was not reached
until November 15, 1952. Ratification by the union
membership followed, and most of the workers returned
to the plants 2 days later. Two plants with FE-UE con­
tracts, which had not been affected by the strike, were
also covered by the new agreement.
All employees covered by the new contract re­
ceived a 3-cent cost-of-living adjustment, effective in the
first pay period worked after September 1, 1952. The
annual improvement-factor clause was continued, so that
all employees received a 4-cent increase in the first pay
period worked after August 21,1952. In addition to this
7 cents which all workers received, employees classified
above Grade III obtained supplemental increases varying
from 1 to 5 cents an hour, thus bringing their rate struc­
ture up to that negotiated in 1950 by the United Auto­
mobile Workers (CIO). Additional vacation benefits were
granted and the method of determining vacation pay was
revised.
The new agreement, effective until June 30, 1955,
made no provision for reopening on any matter. The
UAW-CIO agreement, effective until August 1955, like­
wise contained no reopening provision.

1953-57
In 1953, after the United Automobile, Aircraft and
Agricultural Implement Workers of America (UAW-CIO)
contracts with major automobile companies were re­
opened on the question of the conversion of their costof-living escalator clauses to the revised Consumer Price
Index of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the union pro­
posed that similar changes be made in its agreement with
the International Harvester Co.4 In separate negotiations
the Farm Equipment Division of the United Electrical,
Radio and Machine Workers of America (FE-UE) made
similar proposals. The ensuing meetings between the com­
pany and the unions resulted in no change in the con­
tracts. Although the parties failed to agree on a con­
version formula, cost-of-living adjustments were con­
tinued by unilateral company action.
The company and the UAW, which as a result of
National Labor Relations Board elections had become
the sole bargaining agent for all units covered by this
chronology, began negotiations for a new agreement on
July 11, 1955. When settlement was not reached by the
contract expiration date of August 23, a work stoppage
occurred at 18 plants in six States.5 Final agreement on
a new contract was not reached until September 16,
1955; ratification was completed by September 19.



The new 3-year national agreement provided for a
supplemental unemployment benefit plan similar to and
contingent upon those negotiated with the Ford Motor
Company and the General Motors Corporation; a general
wage raise and an increase in the annual improvement
factor; additional increases for specified groups of skilled
workers and for dayworkers in the five top labor grades;
elimination of the area wage differential at five plants;
increased vacation for certain categories of employees;
1 additional paid holiday; and liberalized insurance and
pension plans.
The contract, to be in force from September 16,
1955, through July 31, 1958, could be reopened during
this period in regard to the supplemental unemployment
benefit plan and then only in the event o f failure to
obtain favorable governmental rulings as stipulated in the
agreement.

1957-61
Contract negotiations between the International
Harvester Co. and the United Automobile, Aircraft and
Agricultural Implement Workers of America (UAW) be­
gan when the union presented its demands to the com­
pany on June 3, 1958, about 2 months before the ex­
piration of their 1955 agreement. The union’s demands
were essentially the same as those it had presented to the
automobile manufacturers.6 During the negotiations, the
UAW proposed a profit-sharing plan in lieu of a wage in­
crease; the company offered an immediate wage increase
and incorporation of the cost-of-living allowance into
basic wage rates, but proposed to eliminate future annual
improvement-factor and cost-of-living adjustments. When
agreement on a new contract was not reached by the
end of July, a contract extension agreement continued
the quarterly review of the cost-of-living allowance but
made the annual improvement-wage-factor inoperative.
Negotiations resumed in October when the com­
pany offered to continue the improvement-factor and
cost-of-living allowance adjustments, grant additional
wage increases to skilled workers, liberalize supplemental

retirement plan benefits, in addition to the wage in­
creases offered earlier. In return, the company was to
have, among other things, the unilateral right to reduce
the workweek below 40 hours, schedule plant shut­
downs for vacations, exclude future wage increases in
computing the night-shift bonus, change some seniority

International Harvester Co. and the United Auto­
mobile, Aerospace, and Agricultural Implement Workers
of America (UAW)7 opened negotiations on August 2 to
replace the contract expiring October 1,1961.
The union bargaining program included an increase
in the annual improvement-factor, wage advances tied to
the Consumer Price Index and inequity adjustments to

practices, and share increased hospital insurance costs.
The latter group of company proposals was rejected by
the union. On November 6, 1958, when it appeared the

equalize wage rates at the company’s seven parts depots,
a moving allowance, improved noncontributory health
insurance benefits, higher retirement benefits, liberalized
supplemental unemployment benefits, and higher sep­
aration payments. On September 14, the union revised
these initial demands in line with the benefits recently
negotiated at General Motors,8 and on September 25, the

production, and by the end of the month, when most

locals had ratified the contract, the men had returned to

General Motors settlement. In addition, the company

parties would not reach agreement, the UAW served
notice of cancellation of the contract extension. A week
later, a work stoppage suspended operations at 15 plants.
Agreement on a new contract was not reached until

work.
The agreement continued the improvement-factor
and cost-of-living escalator clauses of the previous con­
tract, incorporated 15 cents of the cost-of-living al­

proposed changes in the incentive system and the sub­
contracting clause.
Rejection of the company offer came 2 days later
because, “ it fell far short in the SUB and health and
welfare sections in terms of the General Motors settle­

lowance into basic rates, provided additional increases
for about 3,600 skilled workers, and added a fourth week
of vacation after 25 years of service. The first improve­
ment-factor increase was made retroactive to August 23,
1958, and subsequent increases were scheduled to go in­
to effect September 14, 1959, and October 3, 1960.
The 1959 agreement also increased supplemental
unemployment benefits and extended the maximum

ment.” The union also objected to the company’s insistance on “ basic changes” in the incentive system.9
Although agreement was not reached by October 1,
the expiration date of the existing contract, the contract
was extended indefinitely subject to a 24-hour cancella­
tion notice by either party.
On October 9, the company made a new proposal

benefits. Previously, receipt of such benefits had been a
condition of eligibility. The parties agreed to continue
company contributions to the SUB fund without change.
A new separation payment plan, financed from the ex­
isting SUB fund, was established for workers permanently
laid off on or after January 16, 1959.
Changes in the pension and health and welfare plans
were included in the revised agreement. Increased pension
benefits, including benefits for those already retired, were
made retroactive to October 1, 1958. The union agreed
that in future negotiations it would not request further
changes in retirement benefits for those already retired

Although the union indicated that the new proposal was
closer to its goals than the original offer, it was not
sufficiently improved to be acceptable.
Union members previously had voted to strike, if
necessary, in support of their demands, and the union
notified the company, on October 11, of its intention to
strike in 5 days unless settlement was reached by that
time.
