Government Printing Office Washington, D .C . 20402 - Price 30 cents P reface 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 com binations 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 bargaining agreements and related documents voluntarily filed with the Bureau. Descrip tions 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 International Shoe Co. (Division of Interco, Inc.) with the United Shoe Workers of America and the Boot and Shoe Workers Union since the first master contracts were signed in 1945. This bulletin replaces Wage Chronology: Inter national Shoe Co., 1945-66, published as BLS Bulletin 1479, and incorporates the sup plement covering the 1967-69 period. Materials previously published have been supple mented in this bulletin by contract changes negotiated in 1970. The earlier texts are included as they were originally published. The section for the 1970-74 period was prepared in the Division of Trends in Employee Compensation by John U. Burgan. iii Contents Page 1945-51 ................................................................................................................................................................ 1952 ..................................................................................................................................................................... 1953-57 ................................................................................................................................................................ 1958-61 ................................................................................................................................................................ 1962-64 ................................................................................................................................................................ 1964-66 ................................................................................................................................................................ 1967- 68 ............................................................................................................................................................. 1968- 69 ............................................................................................................................................................. 1970-74 ................................................................................................................................................................

(a D iv isio n o f In te rc o , Inc.), 1 9 4 5 - 7 4 1945-51 1952 This chronology 1 traces the major changes in wage rates and related wage practices negotiated between the company and the United Shoe Workers of America (CIO) and the Boot and Shoe Workers (AFL) since 1945, the date of the first master agreements. Although there is a separate contract for each plant, all agreements are negotiated centrally and contain substantially the same basic points. Conditions of employment are the same in both the organized and unorganized plants of the com pany. The contracts cover only production, maintenance, and custodial workers. Unions organizing activities in the International Shoe factories began in the early 1940’s. Master agreements between the company and the unions were first negoti ated in 1945. At the time of the last negotiation (October 1950), the United Shoe Workers bargained for 10,500 production workers in 21 shoe factories, 15 supply plants, and 1 tannery; the Boot and Shoe Workers bargained for 7,000 workers in 17 shoe factories and 1 supply plant; and workers in 7 tanneries, 2 shoe factories, and 3 supply plants are represented by a num ber of other unions. The balance of the company’s operations are not organized and about 70 percent of the company’s employees are represented by these unions. Approximately 90 percent of the workers in the factories of the International Shoe Co. were paid on a piecework basis. The changes reported in the chronology relate to these employees as well as those paid on a straight hourly basis. Special provisions of the contracts dealing with the day-to-day administration of the in centive plans are omitted, as are provisions relating only to specified plants. Since the chronology started with the 1945 agreements, the provisions reported under that date do not necessarily indicate changes in prior conditions of employment. The agreements, effective October 1,1951, continued in effect until September 30, 1952, in the case of the United Shoe Workers, and October 31,1952, in the case of the Boot and Shoe Workers. They make no provision for a reopening on wages or any other matter. The International Shoe Co.’s agreements with the United Shoe Workers of America (USWA-CIO) and the Boot and Shoe Workers (B&SW-AFL), in effect since October 1951, expired in September and October 1952. New 1-year agreements were negotiated in October and individual plant contracts were signed at various dates. They provided for retroactive increases in earnings as well as changes in overtime and holiday pay and in paid-vacation practices. Although the unions negotiated separately, both contracts provided for the same general wage increase. The same changes in related working practices were also made in each contract. The contracts, like those they replaced, make no provision for a reopening regarding any of the terms. 1953-57 International Shoe Co. agreements with the United Shoe Workers of America (USWA) and the Boot and Shoe Workers (B&SW), in effect since the fall of 1952, expired in September and October of 1953, respectively. These were replaced by 2-year agreements negotiated on October 31, 1953, which established semiannual costof-living wage escalator clauses for the 18,000 em ployees represented by these 2 unions but provided for no immediate change in pay. The agreements added a third week of vacation after 15 years of service and provided a company-paid hospital, medical, and surgical plan. Negotiations for new contracts began in September 1955 and, when no agreement was reached, the unions struck on November 11, 1955. The strike was ended in early December on terms of an increase of almost 5 per cent in the earnings of piece and time workers, retro active to October 3, an additional advance of almost 3 percent in April 1956, and discontinuance of the cost-ofliving escalator clauses. The agreements were for 2 years, 1 For purpose and scop e o f wage chronology series, see Handbook o f Methods for Surveys and Studies, BLS Bulletin 1458. 1 vision under existing financing arrangements. As a result of this study, the pension plan was amended to permit voluntary retirement at age 62. The changes incorporated in the 1962 agreements, are to remain in effect until September 30, 1964, with out any reopening. with provision for a third year if an acceptable pension plan could be worked out. In July 1957, the parties agreed upon the terms of a retirement plan, to be financed by company payments of 3 percent of its gross payroll, and extended the agree ment to September 30,1958. 1964-66 1958-61 Bargaining objectives for the coming negotiations in the shoe industry were developed at a biunion (United Shoe Workers of America—USWA—and Boot and Shoe Workers Union—BSWU) wage policy conference in May. Negotiations opened in late August with the unions following a well-established procedure, presenting their noneconomic contract proposals prior to the economic demands. At the 1964 sessions, the noneconomic items dealt with more than 50 contract provisions. On September 9, International Shoe Co. and union negotiators started their discussions of the unions’ economic package which was designed to improve existing benefits and add new practices. The unions’ determination to increase earnings was expressed in a request for a 15-cent-an-hour wage increase and a $1.40 minimum for all piece and hourly workers. An additional paid holiday and longer vacations would have reduced worktime while maintaining earnings. Substantial im provements in the hospital-surgical-medical plan, sickness and accident benefits, and pension annuities, were included in the union package. The higher annuities were to be financed by an additional 1-percent employer con tribution. A number of the proposals were aimed at im proving job security and earnings when changes in oper ations, materials, or machinery would have reduced employment or take-home pay. The unions also requested the establishment of two new benefits to protect earnings levels: 2 days’ paid funeral leave, and 7 days’ paid sick leave. A proposal for the initiation of a severance pay provision completed the unions’ program. On October 22, the International Shoe Co. reached agreement on a 2-year contract with the United Shoe Workers of America and the Boot and Shoe Workers Union. For the first time in many years, the unions signed with Brown Shoe Co. before they did with International, and then only after the parties had agreed on a 30-day extension of the 1962 contract. Earnings of day and pieceworkers were to be increased 2 percent in January 1965 and 1966, and an additional 2 percent increase was given employees at the lowest jobclass rate. One paid holiday was added, bringing the total The 3-year agreements between the International Shoe Co. and the United Shoe Workers of America and the Boot and Shoe Workers that were scheduled to expire on September 30,1958, were extended until October 10, 1958. They were replaced by 2-year agreements nego tiated on October 12, which provided a 4-percent wage increase effective October 1, 1958, and an additional 2.5 percent on October 1, 1959, for about 14,500 workers. The agreements also revised reporting pay provisions and liberalized life insurance for retired employees. The day after these contracts expired on September 30, 1960, agreement was reached on terms of new 2-year contracts. The new contracts, which covered about 12,300 workers at 33 plants, provided for wage increases of 5 cents an hour effective January 2, 1961, and an additional 3 cents an hour effective January 1, 1962. The agreements also improved the hospital benefits program, liberalized vacation eligibility requirements, and provided vacation benefits for employees retiring during the year. The current agreements are to continue in effect until September 30, 1962, without provision for any reopening. 1962-64 Two-year contracts to replace those that expired September 30, 1962, were agreed to on the following day by the International Shoe Co., and the United Shoe Workers of America (USWA) and the Boot and Shoe Workers (B & SW) after almost 2 months of negotiations. The new agreements, which covered about 13,000 workers, provided 3-cent-an-hour general wage increases for all workers on January 1, 1963, and again on January 1, 1964. 2 In addition, higher rates for some incentive operations, effective March 4 and September 3, 1963, will increase the earnings of one-third of the company’s employees an average of 6 cents an hour over the life of the contract. Improvements in fringe benefits consisted of an addi tional paid holiday and an increase in women’s accident and sickness benefits to the level of the men’s benefits. An actuarial study of the pension fund was instituted to determine the feasibility of an early retirement pro 2 An additional 3 ,0 0 0 to 4 ,0 0 0 unorganized workers were to receive the sam e changes in wages and b en efits. 2 to 8. Daily payments for hospital room and board and the surgical maximum were raised. Pension benefits were increased and eligibility for disability annuities was reduced to 15 years of service, regardless of the worker’s age. Some 10,000 workers are covered by the International Shoe Co. agreements with the unions; 7,000 in Missouri, Arkansas, and Illinois USWA plants and 3,000 in Missouri, Kentucky, and Tennessee BSWU plants. All agreements are to remain in effect until September 30,1966. through September 30, 1968, with no provision for a reopening. 1968-69 Following joint negotiations, settlement was reached September 30, 1968, on new 2-year agreements by the International Shoe Co. (a division of Interco, Inc.) with the Shoe Workers and the Boot and Shoe Workers. The agreements were ratified by the workers in Octo ber and provided wage increases on December 1, 1968, of 17 cents an hour for dayworkers and of 28 cents per 100 piecework points for workers in incentive operations. In the second year, day workers were to receive 15 cents and pieceworkers, 26 cents per 100 piecework points. A minimum wage based on length of service was estab lished for pieceworkers. Other changes included the addi tion of a ninth paid holiday, a liberalized vacation schedule, a revision of the bereavement leave provision, and the establishment of severance pay in the event of a permanent plant closing. Group insurance benefits were increased by raising the surgical and special service maximums. The employee’s premium for dependents’ hospital and surgical benefits coverage was increased to $5.09 a month. The sickness and accident benefit also was increased to $35. Improvements in pensions increased the benefit for normal or disability retirement to $2.25 a month for each year of credited service, up to 30 years. The increase did not apply to those who terminated employment with a vested pension right. In late 1969, the maximum num ber of years that could be used in computing the monthly benefit was increased to 35 years. In addition, all time spent in the military was to be counted as service credit for pension purposes. The agreements covered approximately 10,000 work ers in 32 plants in Missouri, Illinois, Arkansas, and Kentucky and were to remain in effect through Septem ber 30,1970, with no provision for reopening. 1967-68 Two-year agreements, covering approximately 10,000 workers, were reached on September 30,1966, following joint negotiations by the Shoe Workers (USW) and the Boot and Shoe Workers (BSW) with the International Shoe Co. (a division of Interco, Inc.). 3 The contracts replaced those that expired on September 30 and set the bargaining pattern for scheduled talks at the Brown Shoe Co. Workers ratified the pacts shortly after agreement was reached. The contracts provided wage increases effective Jan uary 2, 1967, of 9 cents an hour for day workers and 6 cents an hour on the clock plus 5 cents per 100 piece work points added to all class wages for pieceworkers. A year later, day workers were to receive 12 cents and pieceworkers, 6 cents on the clock, 7 cents per 100 points on all class wages, and an additional 8 cents per 100 points on the lowest class wage. The minimum wage also was raised in 1967 and 1968 according to the 1966 amendments to the Fair Labor Standards Act. The con tracts also provided for the establishment of 2 days of paid bereavement leave, payment for hospital room and and board on an “area cost” basis, and increases in both the surgical maximum and the in-hospital medical benefit. The employee’s premium for dependents’ hospital and surgical benefits was increased to $4.96 a month. The group insurance plan was revised so that Medicare bene fits would be supplemented rather than duplicated. In addition the employee’s premium for $2,000 life insurance was increased to $2 a month at age 65 for those who retired on or after October 1, 1966. Pension benefits for those retiring on a normal or disability annuity on or after October 1, 1966, were increased to $2 a month for each year of service, up to 30 years. In 1967, pensions for those retired before October 1966 were to increase to $1.75 a month for each year of service, up to 30 years, except for those retired under a vested pension right. The company also agreed to in crease its contribution to the pension fund in 1967 to 4.25 percent of gross payroll. The agreements were scheduled to remain in effect 1970-74 The United Shoe Workers (USW) and the Boot and Shoe Workers (BSW) jointly negotiated 4-year contracts with the International Shoe Co. (a division of Interco, Inc.) on October 1,1970, hours before the old contracts were due to expire. This was the first time the parties developed agreements of such long duration. The con3 In terco, In c., cam e in to being and the International Shoe Co. becam e a division th ereo f, w ith ou t independent corporate status, on March 2, 1 9 6 6 . 3 contracts provided employees retiring after December 1, 1971, with credit for up to 40 years of company service, reaching a maximum pension benefit of $110 a month. It provided also that, in future contracts, the basis of pension negotiations would be the amount of pension benefits rather than the amount of employer contribu tions to the fund. Insurance benefit changes, effective November 1, 1970, provided increased payments for: In-hospital medical benefits, maternity benefits, and miscarriages. Bereavement pay was also liberalized. The agreements, scheduled to expire September 30, 1974, cover approximately 10,000 workers in 30 plants in a five-State area. They provide for reopenings in 1972 on: Wages, pensions, vacations, hospitalization and insur ance, minimum wages, holidays, bereavement pay, and severance pay. The following tables summarize wage and benefit changes up to the 1972 reopening date; after this time any possible provisions negotiated under the 1972 reopener will take effect. tracts were ratified jointly by the unions on Septem ber 30, 1970, and were effective October 1, 1970. Principal provisions of the pacts included wage in creases of 18 cents an hour for day workers and 30 cents per 100 points for pieceworkers, to be added to all class wages, both effective December 1,1970, with additional increases of 15 cents an hour and 25 cents per 100 points, respectively, to begin December 1, 1971. Also effective on December 1, 1970, was a company con tribution equivalent to 1-2/3 cents an hour when averaged over the bargaining unit, establishing new class rates on certain jobs. Minimum wages increased to $1.80 for pieceworkers with 24 months of service or more, begin ning December 1, 1970; $1.85 on December 1, 1971; and $1.90, December 1, 1972. The agreement raised monthly pension benefits from $2.25 to $2.50 per year of credited service, effective December 1, 1970, and to $2.75 a year later. The new 4 Table A.
