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. 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. For a detailed explanation of the purpose and scope of the chronology program, see “Wage Chronologies and Salary Trend Reports,” BLS Handbook o f Methods, Bulletin 1711 (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 1971), pages 209-12. This chronology summarizes changes in wage rates and supplementary compensation practices negotiated since March 1941 by Lockheed-California Co. (a division of Lockheed Aircraft Corp.) and the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers. This bulletin replaces Wage Chronology: Lockheed-California Company (a Division o f Lockheed Aircraft Corp.), 1937-67, published as BLS Bulletin 1522 and incorporates contract changes negotiated for the 1968-77 period. Except for a revised introduction and other minor changes, earlier texts generally are included as they were published originally. 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 contractual definitions. The analysis for the 1968-77 period was prepared in the Division of Trends in Employee Compensation by John J. Lacombe II. m Contents Page Introduction ................................................................................................................................................................................. 1 Summary of contract negotiations ............................................................................................................................................. 3 March 1937—August 1952 3 August 1952—November 1953 3 November 1953—December 1954 ...................................................................................................................................... 3 December 1954—February 1956 3 February 1956—March 1958 4 March 1958-June 1960 4 June 1960—July 1962 4 July 1962—July 1965 .......................................................................................................................................................... 4 July 1965—July 1968 .......................................................................................................................................................... 5 July 1968—December 1 9 7 1 ................................... 7 December 1971—October 1974 .......................................................................................................................................... 8 October 1974—October 1977 ............................................................................................................................................. 10 Tables: 1. 2a. 2b. 2c. 3a. 3b. 3c. 4.

The division’s main complex in Burbank is the original site and headquarters of the present Lockheed Aircraft Corp. which was incorporated in Califor nia on June 21, 1932. The Lockheed organization dates back to 1912 when Allan and Malcolm Loughead built their first aircraft. Four years later, with John Northrop, they founded a company in Santa Barbara, which was dissolved when surplus World War I planes glutted the commercial market. Allan Loug head then was active in forming the Lockheed Aircraft Co. in 1926 which successfully produced the Vega monoplane designed by John Northrop. As business expanded, produc tion was moved from a Hollywood garage to larger quarters in Burbank. Detroit Aircraft Corp., a holding company, bought control of Lockheed in 1929, along with 11 other companies, but went bankrupt in the stock market crash. Lockheed Aircraft Corp. then was formed to acquire certain assets of the Lockheed Aircraft Co. from a Federal receiver through a seven-man group headed by Robert E. Gross, who also became head of the new corporation. In 1937, a customer service department was added to maintain and modify aircraft, which is now a division, Lockheed Aircraft Service Co., with worldwide operations. Production grew rapidly during the late 1930’s because of ominous events in Europe and the Far East. By the time of the attack on Pearl Harbor, Ix>ckheed, together with its Vega Airplane Co. subsidiary,1 had become the Nation’s largest aircraft producer. War-time employment reached a peak of 94,000 in 1944. The end-of-war production slump caused a decline in employment to 13,500 by 1949. This decline, however, was less severe than at other aircraft companies because new lines of aircraft had been intro duced to meet the postwar challenge. In 1951, the Lockheed-Georgia Co. division was formed to meet needs of the Korean Conflict, and it is now a world center for design and production of large airlift and cargo planes for military and commercial use. The Lockheed Missiles & Space Co., which is now a wholly owned sub sidiary, was created as a division in 1953 and it soon be came a major factor in meeting the Nation’s defense and space needs. The corporation’s fourth division, Lockheed Propulsion Co., which specializes in research, development, and manufacture of rocket motors and propellents, was organized in 1961. struction of dams, tunnels, and roads; wide-ranging re search projects; and operation of the Holly wo od-Burbank Airport. Its international subsidiaries are responsible for overseas licensing, sales, services, manufacturing, and in vestments. For the first 9 months of 1975, aircraft and related services made up about 60 percent of corporate sales; missiles, space, and electronics made up about 38 percent. Sixty-three percent of total sales were to the U.S. Govern ment. Total domestic corporate employment was 58,000. Lockheed-California Co.’s primary activities include the design, development, and production of commercial and military aircraft and antisubmarine warfare and ocean systems and related items at locations in Burbank, Palm dale, Valencia, and Watts-Willowbrook, Calif., and second ary locations in McAlester, Okla., and Minot, N.D. Produc tion and maintenance workers and hourly rated office and technical employees at the company’s various locations are covered by a master agreement negotiated with the Interna tional Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (I AM). Nineteen railroad machinists in Atlanta, Ga. founded the I AM on May 5, 1885, as The United Machinists and Mechanical Engineers of America. Its name was changed to the National Association of Machinists a year later, to the International Association of Machinists in 1890, and to its present name on January 1, 1965. In 1895, it affiliated with the American Federation of Labor (AFL).2 During the union’s early years, it represented skilled craft workers engaged mainly in manufacture and maintenance of loco motives and marine and stationary engines. The IAM later organized manufacturing plants on an industrial basis as methods of production became more complex and com panies adopted assembly-line processes, creating a need for broader-based jurisdiction. Currently, the IAM is the Nation’s sixth largest union, representing about 758,000 machinists and production, maintenance, technical, and clerical workers, primarily in the machinery, railroad shops, automobile repair, and aerospace industries. The AFL had granted the union exclusive jurisdiction over “aircraft mechanics” in October 1934. At that time, 2 The union left the AFL because of jurisdictional problems in 1946 but reaffiliated in 1951. 1Vega was fully absorbed by Lockheed in 1943. 1 the industry’s work force consisted mainly of such “fileand-flt” craft workers who worked on an aircraft from start to finish. On March 30, 1937, the IAM and Lockheed Aircraft Corp. reached an agreement for nearly all of the company’s hourly rated production, maintenance, office and technical employees.3 Lockheed was the first company in the southern California airframe industry to recognize and negotiate with a labor union. During the preceding year the union had reached an agreement with The Boeing Co. in Seattle. In the late 1930’s an intense rivalry between the IAM and UAW,4 for jurisdiction over workers in the airframe industry developed which resulted in a disproportionate cost per new member. Accordingly, they signed a “no-raid” pact in 1949 prohibiting organizing activities by either union in plants where agreements or NLRB certifications were held by the other union. The pact, however, did not apply to new facilities and organizing competition at such facilities continued. The rivalry has resulted in a division in the aerospace industry with the IAM now representing about 57,000 employees and the UAW, 50,000. The two unions have attempted to coordinate their bargaining activities since 1953, when they signed a pact providing for exchange of information during negotiations to enable them to achieve their bargaining goals. In 1959, the IAM and UAW held their first joint bargaining conference and for the first time, presented a single set of bargaining objectives to the industry. The unions continued to coordinate their bargaining strategy in 1965, but each union established its own goals separately. Following a renewal of jurisdictional problems, the alliance was severed in August 1968. In 1971, the unions signed a new agreement providing for cooperation in bargaining. Currently, representatives of the IAM and UAW meet before industry negotiations to establish common objec tives and coordinate strategy. The objectives are influenced to some extent by terms of settlements in the auto industry. Aerospace talks are conducted on a company-by company basis and after agreement is reached at a major company similar contracts generally are negotiated through out the rest of the industry. 3The agreement covered 20,000 of the 26,000 employees of the company. 4 International Union, United Automobile, Aircraft (Aerospace since May 8, 1962) and Agricultural Implement Workers of America. 2 The IAM is the chief bargaining agent for workers at the various aerospace production components of Lockheed Aircraft Corp. and separate contracts are negotiated con currently with resulting terms generally being similar. At Lockheed-California, in addition to the master agreement for 11,000 production and maintenance and office and technical workers, the IAM negotiates a separate agreement for 100 guards. Salaried and other professionals are represented by the Engineers and Scientists Guild (Ind.) and a small number of maintenance electricians are repre sented by the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers. This chronology summarizes changes in wages and supplementary compensation practices negotiated by what is now Lockheed-California Co. and the IAM for produc tion and maintenance workers since the 1937 agreement. Provisions of that first agreement shown in this chronology do not necessarily represent changes from prior conditions of employment. The chronology also covers hourly rated office and technical workers’ wage changes and rates since 1959. Since 1937 these workers have been under the same contract as production and maintenance workers which has provided identical supplementary compensation provisions for all covered workers. Wages are paid on an hourly basis and rates shown in the chronology are according to a formalized labor grade structure, with automatic progression from the minimum to the maximum rate within a grade. The present wage structure is an outgrowth of a National War Labor Board (NWLB) decision in March 1943 which affected the southern California airframe industry. This decision estab lished a uniform labor classification system for the various companies. Ten labor grades were established for factory workers with specified occupations and a specified rate range for each grade. Each company, however, had flexibil ity in upward re-evaluation of jobs, upgrading within rate ranges, and promotions from one grade to another. Manage ment also was authorized to prepare a similar classification system for office and technical workers. After the end of World War II wage controls, Lockheed and the union agreed to a new classification system which, among other things, added 3 grades to the original 10. In 1949, the system again was revised and 3 more grades were added. Wage rates are shown in this chronology for production and maintenance workers from the 1949 revision and office and technical workers from 1959. Currently there are 18 factory labor grades and 18 office and technical labor grades. Summary of contract negotiations September 8, 1953. Although settlement had not been reached by November 9, 1953, the expiration date of the old contract, the union voted, on November 8, not to call a work stoppage and to continue bargaining negotiations. Company and union representatives announced, on Decem ber 7, that terms of settlement had been agreed upon, and on December 13, the union ratified the new contract, effective until December 14, 1954. It provided for a general wage increase retroactive to November 9, 1953, for increases in the maximum and minimum of all rate ranges, and for upgrading some occupations in intermediate labor grades. The previous contract had increased the base rate of pay for each employee by 3 cents through a cost-of-living formula based on the CPI (adjusted series). The new contract included 2 cents of this amount in the base rates. In place of the previous formula, a cost-of-living bonus was established. This bonus, adjusted quarterly in accordance with the movements of the CPI (revised series), was not included in base rates, but was included in computing overtime payments, vacations, sick leave, and holiday payments. The initial cost-of-living bonus, effective the same day as the general wage increase, totaled 2 cents (the 1-cent allowance received under the former plan but not incorporated in base rates and 1 cent resulting from conversion to the revised CPI). A 3-week vacation for employees with 15 years or more of service became effective December 1, 1953. Improve ments in the group insurance plan were put in force January 1,1954. March 1937—August 1952 From the 1937 agreement through the 1951 contract, wage adjustments were made as a result of 10 agreements for Lockheed’s southern California aircraft plants and the International Association of Machinists (IAM) plus a directive order of the National War Labor Board (NWLB). Also during this period, shift premium pay, paid holidays and vacations, sick and injury pay, and reporting pay were established and various supplementary compensation prac tices were improved. Company-initiated insurance and retirement plans were incorporated into the agreement in 1949. The NWLB directive in 1943 for southern California aircraft companies established a standard job classification plan and uniform pay scales for the industry in the area. After the end of World War II wage controls, the labor grade structure and job evaluation system were revised through negotiations effective both in 1946 and 1949. August 1952—November 1953 A 1-year agreement between the Lockheed Aircraft Corp., California Division, and the IAM replaced the contract that expired on August 22, 1952. The new agreement, ratified on November 9, 1952, was reached after negotiations which extended beyond the August expiration date, a 26-day strike, and assistance by the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service. Under the new contract, a wage increase was made retroactive to August 25, 1952. In addition, increases in the maximum and minimum of all rate ranges were agreed to, and some occupations in intermediate labor grades were upgraded. An escalator clause provided for quarterly cost-of-living adjustments, under which the first adjust ment, to be based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI adjusted series) of September 15, 1952, went into effect November 15, 1952. Several improvements in related employment conditions, including shift premium, holiday, vacation, and insurance benefits, became effective at various times, depending on the date of approval by the Wage Stabilization Board. Certain other benefits which had previously been company practice were incorporated into the contract for the first time. December 1954—February 1956 Representatives of Lockheed Aircraft Corp., California Division, and the IAM began negotiations for a new contract October 26, 1954, and reached agreement on December 17, 1954—3 days after the anniversary date of the previous contract. The union’s membership ratified the contract on December 19. The settlement provided for a general wage increase retroactive to December 13, 1954, upgraded 13 job classifications, incorporated the current 1-cent cost-of-living bonus into base rates, and discontinued the wage escalator clause. Improvements in the group insurance plan, including the addition of major medical expense benefits, became effective January 1,1955. The agreement was scheduled to expire on February 15, 1956. November 1953—December 1954 Negotiations between representatives of the Lockheed Aircraft Corp., California Division, and the IAM began 3 February 1956—March 1958 June 1960—July 1962 The 1954 agreement, scheduled to expire on February 15, 1956, was continued on a day-to-day basis thereafter until the conclusion of negotiations on March 4, 1956. Under the terms of the new 2-year contract, a 4- to 6-percent general wage increase and upgrading of certain occupations were made retroactive to February 20, 1956. An additional increase of 7 cents an hour across the board was to go into effect a year later (February 18, 1957). An increase in second-shift premiums became effective March 12, 1956, while improvements in the group insurance plan and in vacation provisions were put in force April 1, 1956. The parties also set up a joint negotiating committee to establish a separate retirement plan for union employees to replace the existing companywide plan; December 25, 1956, was the target date for its implementation. In accordance with a provision of the 1956 contract between the Lockheed Aircraft Corp. and the IAM ,ajoint negotiating committee was established to develop a new company-paid pension plan. The plan was agreed to in February 1957 and went into effect in December of that year. Extended negotiations for a new contract between the company and the union began on March 21, 1960, and continued without a work stoppage beyond the May 12 expiration date of the previous contract. A tentative agreement was reached on July 29, 1960. It was ratified by the union membership a week later and made effective August 8. The August 8 settlement provided a 4-cent-an-hour pay raise retroactive to June 13, and an additional 3-cent increase in July 1961. It also incorporated the existing 6-cent cost-of-living allowance into basic rates of pay but suspended future escalator adjustments until July 1961, with quarterly reviews on a revised base to be resumed at that time. Other contract changes included substitution of an automatic progression schedule for a merit rating plan, increases in shift premium pay for employees paid on a nonstandard workweek and in subsistence pay for field duty, extension of pro rata vacation benefits to future retirees and dependents of deceased employees, and im provements in health and welfare benefits. In addition, a company-paid extended layoff benefit plan (similar to that at North American Aviation)1 was agreed to. The 1960 agreement was to remain in effect through July 14, 1962, with the extended layoff benefits provisions to run to August 8, 1964. March 1958—June 1960 Negotiations to replace the existing 2-year collective bargaining agreement began in early January 1958, and continued past the March 5 expiration date of the contract as the parties failed to reach agreement. The initial proposal of the union included a 1-year contract, a 6-percent hourly wage increase plus a 13-cent cost-of-living increase, reinsti tution of the cost-of-living escalator clause dropped late in 1954, 2 additional paid holidays, and other benefits. The company’s first proposal included a 2-year contract provid ing a 13-cent-an-hour pay increase plus a 2-cent-an-hour cost-of-living increase, some job classification increases, and a cost-of-living escalator clause. With the assistance of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service, bargaining was concluded on May 7, 1958, and a 2-year contract was approved by the union membership on May 10. The contract provided for a general wage increase varying from 18 to 22 cents for factory employees in the first contract year, with 16 cents retroactive to March 10. (This 16 cents was intended to match cost-of-living allowances that had accumulated at some aircraft plants in the Los Angeles area.) The cost-ofliving escalator clause was reinstated, and additional wage increases were put into effect for some occupations. A further 3-percent general wage increase (a minimum of 7 cents an hour) was to be effective in May 1959, and a seventh paid holiday was added. The 2-year agreement, which was to be in force through May 12, 1960, without any reopening, covered approxi mately 16,000 workers at the time it was negotiated. July 1962—July 1965 Negotiations to continue the 25-year long collective bargaining relationship between the Lockheed Aircraft Corp. and IAM began on May 9, 1962. The general bargaining objectives presented by the union were those developed jointly with the United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of America (UAW) earlier that year.2 The company’s initial proposals included offers to assume a major portion of the cost of retraining displaced workers and to provide an “appropriate” wage increase or an equivalent increase in other economic benefits. The company also proposed elimination of the cost-of-living escalator clause and changes in existing layoff procedures. Some days later, the union presented more specific demands generally similar to those presented to other West Coast aerospace companies which included a union shop.3 Exploratory meetings were held on May 22 and 23. Bargaining started on May 31, and continued without material progress into July. On July 1, the union set a strike date for July 23, 9 days after the contract then in effect was to terminate. 1See W age C h r o n o lo g y : R o c k w e l l I n te r n a tio n a l (E le c tr o n ic s , N o r th A m e r ic a n A ir c r a f t/S p a c e O p e r a tio n s ) and UAW , M ay 1 9 4 1 - S e p t e m b e r 1 9 7 7 , Bulletin 1893 (Bureau of Labor Statistics 1976). 2Ibid. 3Ibid. 4 board also concluded that the remaining economic issues could be settled without difficulty if the union security issue were resolved. On December 3 a temporary injunction was issued, at the request of the Federal Government, by the U.S. District Court in Los Angeles. One week later the injunction was extended for the statutory 80 days. A provisional 3-year agreement was reached by the negotiators on January 27, and was ratified by the union membership the following day. The employees’ economic gains under the agreement were valued by the parties at 28.3 cents an hour and included wage increases of 5 to 8 cents an hour retroactive to July 23, 1962, and 6 to 8 and 6 to 9 cents an hour in July of 1963 and 1964, respectively. In addition, almost 1,500 workers received retroactive inequity pay increases of 3 to 15 cents an hour, and the entire cost-of-living allowance accumulated under the previ ous contract was incorporated in basic rates of pay. A wide variety of related working practices were improved. Longer vacations were provided workers with 10 years of service or more, 1 paid holiday was added, and medical insurance and extended layoff benefits were improved. The maintenance-of-membership clause, which required workers to retain their union membership as a condition of employment, was continued. New employees were to be introduced to stewards who would be allowed to discuss, on company time, the advantages of joining the union. In addition, the company was to suggest to all new employees that they carefully consider joining the union. A training program for IAM stewards was established, with the company obligating itself to pay up to 75 percent of the tuition in company-approved schools. Finally, a committee was established to meet quarterly to discuss current problems outside the grievance area. The 1963 contract, which covered about 16,000 work ers, was to remain in effect through July 23, 1965. Terms of a 2-year contract, proposed by the company on July 10, would have provided wage increases and improvements in fringe benefits estimated to cost 7 to 8 cents an hour. There was no change in the company’s earlier position on the cost-of-living escalator clause. The union rejected the offer and the c o m p a n y ’ s proposal that the contract be extended for 30 d a y s . Nine days later, Lockheed stated its willingness to provide approximately the same economic p a c k a g e negoti ated by Douglas Aircraft Co. with the I AM and UAW.4 The offer, which did not provide for any change in union security provisions, was rejected by the union. Two days before the strike scheduled for July 23, the President of the United States requested a 60-day extension of contracts involving a number of aerospace companies5 and asked the parties to give their full cooperation to a three-member factfinding board. Compliance by both part ies averted a walkout. Lockheed, like the other West Coast aerospace com panies involved, was unable to reach agreement with the union during the contract extension period. On September 1, the board issued a report containing recommendations on the economic and noneconomic issues that remained in dispute.6 The union agreed to accept the recommendations as a “total package,” but the company refused to put the union security issue to a vote of its employees. Negotiations continued until September 21, the day the no-strike pledge was to expire; the parties then agreed to an indefinite extension, subject to a 5-day notice of intention to terminate. By this time, the other southern California aerospace companies had reached, or were about to reach, agreements along the lines proposed by the Presidential board. At Lockheed, noneconomic issues were the major areas of disagreement in the negotiations, which continued into November. On November 19, the union announced a new strike deadline for November 28. One day before the scheduled strike, Lockheed revised its last offer to provide three general wage increases (with the first retroactive to July 23), liberalized vacation and group insurance benefits, and higher surgical and layoff benefits. There was no change in the company’s position on union security. The strike started on schedule. The President, on November 28, invoked the emergency provisions of the Labor Management Relations Act and named a three-man board to study the issues in dispute and report its findings by December 3. The strikers resumed work the next day. The board reported that the strike was a result of the continuing controversy on the union shop issue and that no significant progress had been made toward a solution. The 4 July 1965—July 1968 For details of the Douglas Aircraft Co.’s agreements, see M o n th ly L a b o r R e v ie w , September 1962, p. 1034. 5The aerospace companies were Lockheed, North American Aviation, Inc., Ryan Aeronautical Co., General Dynamics Corp., and Aerojet-General Corp. 6See M o n th ly L a b o r R e v ie w , November 1962, p. 1281. 5 Negotiations between Lockheed Aircraft Corp. and the IAM for a new contract were preceded by the third joint aerospace conference of the IAM and the UAW. Delegates to the conference met on October 3-4, 1963, to prepare for 1965 negotiations. The delegates urged the Government to establish a committee of labor, industry, and Government representatives, with authority to study and make recom mendations for updating the system of determining wages. The committee was not established. In 1965, joint participation in drafting national aero space bargaining goals was abandoned and the two major unions in the industry met separately to draw up their contract demands. However, they adopted generally similar bargaining objectives. At its 12th Aerospace Industry Conference, held Jan uary 20-22, 1965, the IAM adopted a comprehensive bargaining program. Proposed wage adjustments included a substantial wage increase “sufficient to erase the disparity that now exists” between the aerospace industry and other major industries. The amounts of the increases were to be determined by each local. A revised escalator clause would have provided for quarterly adjustments based upon the new CPI for urban wage earners including single workers and incorporation into basic rates of the existing cost-ofliving allowance. As in previous negotiations, job security was selected as the union’s top bargaining goal. To achieve this, the union proposed substantial improvements in the areas of seniority and job protection. In addition, the union demanded the institution of a program designed to update the existing skills of employees and to develop new skills. Uniform national economic demands included a 35-hour workweek without a loss in weekly earnings; double time for all overtime hours worked; and double time plus holiday pay for holidays worked. Other IAM demands designed to boost employment levels nationally included increasing the number of paid holidays from 8 to 10, extending vacation time to 2 weeks after 1 year of service, 3 weeks after 5 years, and 4 weeks after 15 years of service. The conference instructed its negotiators to ask for noncontributory severance pay plans to supplement extended layoff benefits plans, as an aid in minimizing the burden of unemployment. Severance bene fits—with minimum payments of $100 for each year of service—would have been available to all employees, regard less of the reason for termination of employment. Major changes in health insurance plans also were proposed. Among the more important improvements pro posed were: Assumption of the full cost of the plans by the employers; extension of hospital benefits to 365 days; expansion of surgical benefits to fully cover surgeons’ fees and fees of doctors other than operating doctors; continued coverage for disabled, laid-off, and retired employees; equal benefits for employees and their dependents; increased sickness and accident benefits; and establishment of non contributory dental plans for employees and dependents. Another industrywide primary objective was the up dating and modernization of the pension plans to provide for greatly increased payments upon normal, early, and disability retirement. In addition, normal retirement would have been permitted at age 62 or whenever age plus years of service totaled 85 or more. The 1965 round of contract negotiations between Lockheed Aircraft Corp. and the IAM began on January 25, with the first of a series of prebargaining “exploratory” talks.7 Formal discussions were not scheduled until midMay. These prebargaining sessions were expected to clear the way for an earlier than usual settlement to avoid “crisis” bargaining. At these early sessions, the parties were to explore, discuss, and exchange views on broad contract problems of mutual interest without attempting to arrive at decisions. Heading the list of items to b e c o n s i d e r e d w e r e c h a n g e s in rate structure, including t h e p e r i o d r e q u i r e d f o r automatic progression from minimum t o maximum r a t e s . Also on the agenda were union s e c u r i t y , p e n s i o n s , 8 s e n i o r i t y , field duty pay, extended l a y o f f b e n e f i t s , group insurance, and the company’s economic c o n d i t i o n . Formal n e g o t i a t i o n s began on May 18, with the simulta neous e x c h a n g e o f c o n t r a c t proposals. The union’s demands were g e n e r a l l y s i m i l a r to those adopted at its Aerospace C o n fe re n c e . No specific general wage increase was pro posed; instead, the union asked for a “substantial and equitable” general wage raise, which would apply to rate ranges and to individual rates of pay. Under the automatic progression clause, the union sought a reduction from 16 to 12 months in the time required to move from the entry rate of a grade to the maximum; and it also sought increments of 8 cents an hour, an increase from 5 cents. The leadmen’s bonus would have been increased from 20 to 25 Cents an hour. In addition to the wage practice changes outlined in its list of national objectives, the union proposed the establish ment of a voluntary employee savings plan to supplement the extended layoff benefits plan. Under the plan, the company would have matched the employee’s savings up to an established maximum. In event of layoff, employees were to receive the entire amount in their account, including interest. Highlights of the company’s initial economic proposals involved changes in provisions governing reporting and callback time, field duty pay, and flight pay bonus. The proposal did not contain a wage offer or changes in other major economic items. However, in a letter attached to the proposal, the company states it “proposes to discuss appropriate improvements in economic benefits.” On July 17, the company expanded its original offer to include improvements in pension benefits, higher extended layoff benefits, and the establishment of a voluntary employee savings plan. A day later, the union rejected the offer as incomplete because it did not provide for a general wage increase; it voted to strike, if necessary, in support of its demands. A new company proposal was made on July 22, 1 day before the termination date of the existing agreement. The offer included a general wage increase of 21 cents an hour spread over a 39-month period. It would have provided annual instead of quarterly cost-of-living escalator adjust ments. Other features of the proposal, to become effective in 1967, were an additional paid holiday, a fourth week of vacation after 20 years of service, and full company payment of medical-surgical coverage. Hospitalization bene fits would have become fully company-paid in two steps by 1967. The offer was rejected by the union because of the deferred effective dates of the new benefits. Although 8 The existing pension plan was in force until February 1967, and could only be opened for negotiation by consent of both parties. 7These talks were held in accordance with an agreement reached in the 1962-63 contract negotiations. 6 could choose between this plan and the existing insurance coverage. The contract covered about 16,000 workers and was to be in effect through July 23, 1968. agreement on terms of a new contract was not reached by July 23, the termination date of the existing contract, work continued. The agreement was extended on a day-to-day basis, subject to a 5-day termination notice by either party. Accord on terms was reached on August 1, 1965. Included were 8-cent-an-hour wage increases in each year of the contract. In addition, the existing 9-cent-an-hour cost-of-living allowance was made a permanent part of the wage structure, and 24 job classifications were upgraded. A unique feature of the settlement was a two-part income security program that included a new basic benefit plan, which would supplement and eventually replace the extended layoff benefits plan, and a voluntary employee saving plan. Under the basic benefit plan, the company was to contribute $20 per quarter to a separate trust for each eligible employee who could have contributions invested in either a bond or security trust fund. In the event of layoff, entrance into the Armed Forces, permanent or total disability of 6 months or more, or retirement, the accumu lated amounts would become available to the workers. An employee whose service was terminated for other reasons was to receive a percentage of the amount in the account graduated according to years of service at time of separa tion. The second part of the income security program was a voluntary plan under which the company would match half of the weekly savings assigned by each employee. Employ ees were given the option of investing $2 or $4 a week during the first 2 contract years and $2, $4, or $6 a week during the third contract year. The total amount accumu lated in an employee’s account was to be paid on separation, under the same conditions as stipulated under the basic benefit plan. Other economic gains included a ninth paid holiday, 4 weeks of vacation after 20 years of service, and a procedure for rate retention for specified periods for employees who were downgraded. Improvements were also made in over time, odd workweek, and jury-duty pay provisions. A revised field duty pay provision changed the method of compensating employees on this type of assignment; however, subsistence and mileage allowances were increas ed. Changes in the group insurance plan included companypaid death benefits and an optional medical benefit plan for early retirees. The company also agreed to pay half the remaining cost of dependent insurance effective in 1966, and the remainder in 1967, and to increase daily hospital benefits as well as the maximum for major medical coverage. Extensive revisions in the retirement plan included substantially increased normal and disability benefits as well as greatly liberalized provisions for workers retiring before age 65. A company-union committee was established to develop a new optional plan to provide medical benefits through a community clinic rather than an insurance plan. After such a plan was adopted, active employees and early retirees July 1968—December 1971 Nearly 600 delegates attended the IAM-IJAW Joint Aerospace Conference in Los Angeles on February 26, 1968. The 3-day conference refined and adopted pre liminary bargaining programs both unions had been work ing on separately for several months. The economic gains made in the auto industry by the UAW in the previous year were, in the words of UAW President Walter Reuther, to be used as a “dress rehearsal for the 1968 aerospace negotia tions.” Besides a demand for substantial wage increases, the conference also adopted the following bargaining goals: A full union shop at Lockheed (Lockheed was one of the last major industry members, the other being Boeing, which had not agreed to full union security); major improvements in hospital-surgical-medical protection, including adoption of a prepaid dental plan; optional retirement at normal rates at age 62 with special earlier retirement for long-service workers and increased pension benefits for those already retired; increased company layoff pay and savings plan contributions; more time off and adoption of bonuses, added to regular vacation pay; make-up pay for workers activated for military summer-camp or other short-term duty; in creased extra pay for work under conditions hazardous to health; increased life and accidental death and dismember ment insurance and increased sickness and accident benefits payable for up to 52 weeks, instead of 26 weeks. On May 15, initial contract proposals were exchanged between the I AM and the three major companies of the Lockheed Aircraft Corp. (The UAW did not represent any Lockheed employees.) Negotiations continued into July (the contract was to expire July 23, 1968) and the company offered a 5-percent increase the first-year, a 3-percent increase the second year, and another 3 percent the final year. Also offered were possible cost-of-living adjustments of up to 8 cents in both 1969 and 1970; one additional paid holiday; an increase in pension benefits to $5.25 per year of service from $4.25, with the $5.25 rate to apply to normal, early, and disability retirement; a $10-amonth or 10-percent benefit hike (whichever was greater) for persons who retired before August 1, 1965; and an increased maximum ($8 a week) employee investment in the savings plan, beginning with the fourth year of participation in the plan. The union rejected the proposal, however, primarily because it did not include dental care, or improvements in sick leave, night shift bonus, vacation, and union security provisions. With the expiration of the contract, the parties agreed to an indefinite extension, subject to termination on 5 days’ 7 The agreement, effective July 24, 1968, covered approx imately 13,500 workers and was to remain in effect until July 23, 1971. notice. On July 28, a compromise contract was offered to the IAM membership with the recommendation of the union negotiators to approve it. The resulting ballot gave Lockheed a new 3-year pact. At the same time, members of the UAW and the IAM employed at McDonnell-Douglas Corp., were negotiating a similar agreement. The Lockheed agreement was expected to set the pattern for negotiations with other major companies in the industry. December 1971—October 1974 Some 150 IAM negotiators gathered March 1-5, 1971, in Los Angeles to draft proposals for the 1971 round of talks in the aerospace industry. The Committee on Wages and Other Economic Benefits called for wage and benefit gains comparable to the pattern set in the auto industry the previous year. These included a wage “catch-up” increase to compensate for what the union felt were inadequate pay increases since the last contract was signed. The argument for a catch-up increase centered on the existence of a 16-cent cost-of-living cap on the escalator clause which the union claimed had cost the membership approximately 27 cents from 1968 to 1971, the payment of which the union felt was implied in the contract.9 Delegates agreed that catch-up money would be placed on the table before consideration of what they termed “new money” wage hikes. Other conference goals were a union shop ; a work week of 35 hours without reduction in pay; 12 holidays a year (the current number was 10) with some rearrangement to provide a week off at Christmas; 3 weeks of vacation after 5 years, 4 weeks after 10 years, and 1 day of additional vacation per year after 10; a vacation bonus (in addition to regular vacation pay); earlier retire ment without actuarial reduction; and a minimum pension benefit of $12 a month per year of service. On April 23, IAM representatives met with Lockheed officials in a preliminary session. Discussed were the upcoming negotiations and financial condition of the company. Lockheed negotiators reviewed both government and commercial work contracts, with particular emphasis being given to the future of the L-IOII Tri Star airplane. The continuance of this project was contingent upon Congressional approval of a federally backed loan for Lockheed. If the loan was not approved, layoffs would be substantial and the company would have to reassess its bargaining position. It was agreed at the meeting to exchange contract proposals on May 10 and to begin formal 2-day-a-week talks on May 17. In the initial talks which began on the 17th, both sides explained their respective contract proposals but bargained only on noneconomic items. By June 22, the bargaining had gone to 3-day-a-week sessions covering, among other things, the retirement plan and the employee savings plan. However, uncertainty over the fate of the Tri Star kept serious economic bargaining at Lockheed to a minimum. The Lockheed agreement provided for a 6-percent wage increase on July 29, 1968, with additional increases for certain skilled jobs, and 3-percent increases in the second and third years. The previous 27-cent-an-hour cost-of-living allowance was incorporated into base rates and a revised escalator clause was adopted, stipulating annual instead of quarterly adjustments. The new clause called for an allowance of 1 cent for each 0.4-point increase in the average of the BLS-CPI’s (1957-59=100) for April, May, and June, in the year of adjustment, over the average of the indexes for the same 3 months of 1968. There was also a minimum allowance of 3 and a maximum of 8 cents an hour for the first adjustment (in 1969) and a minimum of 6 and maximum of 16 cents for the total allowance over the term of the contract. Effective January 1, 1969, monthly pension benefits for employees retiring after December 25, 1968, were increased to $5.50, $5.75, and $6 per year of service, depending on labor grade. Employees who had retired before August 1965 received $4.25 per year of service (previous minimums had ranged from $2 to $2.25) and those who had retired between August 1, 1965 and December 25, 1968, received a 10-percent increase. An annuity clause was established providing payments for as long as the retiree lived. Group insurance improvements provided for annual increases in maximum daily hospital room and board benefits to $46, $48, $50 in the respective contract years with any excess room cost to be covered under major medical (not to exceed cost of a semi-private room); a 365-day open-coverage policy to replace the previous $1,500 limitation in hospital room and board and other hospital charges; elimination of the 14-day waiting period for coverage of new-born infants; coverage by the major medical plan of certain expenses over basic plan benefits; increased ambulance benefits; and a dental health supple ment program covering oral surgery. Additionally, health coverage was to be immediate for eligible rehires and continued for 31 days after layoff for laid-off employees and their dependents. The Savings Plan was amended to allow participants to contribute a maximum of $8 per week beginning with their fourth year of participation and $10 beginning with their fifth year (the company matched 50 percent of the employee’s amount). Other contract improvements included increased shift premiums, field duty pay, and life insurance benefits, and an additional paid holiday (total 10). 9 The 1967 automobile agreements specifically provided for an end-of-contract pay increase equal to the additional amount the employees would have received during the term of the contract if the escalator clause had not had a maximum. The 1968 UAW agreements with aerospace firms also had “catch-up” provisions. Although the 1968 IAM agreement with Lockheed lacked such provision, the union held that it was implied. 8 1, 1971. Employees who had retired before this date were to receive $1 more per year of credited service (subject to any actuarial reductions in force at the time of their retirement). A military leave clause was added which provided for up to 8 hours’ straight-time pay for any employee who was ordered to report for a pre-induction physical examination. Other changes increased the flight pay bonus to $5 an hour and obligated the company to reinstate employees absent up to 24 months because of sickness or injury. A union shop clause was adopted in modified form. The clause gave employees hired before a specified date the choice of joining the union but made membership manda tory for anyone hired later. The North American Rockwell pact was the first submitted for Pay Board approval, but a ruling was deferred until the Board could review presentations on the UAW aerospace pact with McDonnell Douglas and the IAM settlements with McDonnell Douglas, Lockheed, Boeing, LTV Aerospace, and United Aircraft. All of these settle ments included catch-up increases, except at United Air craft, where the 1968 contract did not provide for an “overage” provision. The UAW argued before the Pay Board that its catch-up amount of 34 cents was provided under “overage” letters in previous agreements and should not be used by the Pay Board in calculating the value of the new contracts’ first-year wage increases, and that its pacts were in “tandem” with settlements reached earlier in the auto industry which had included catch-up increases. (Board regulations permitted settlements over guidelines if a tandem relationship could be proved with earlier settle ments in the same or other industries.) The IAM also argued that the Lockheed overage letter was signed before estab lishment of the Pay Board and thus beyond the Board’s authority. The Board ruled against the unions on January 5, 1972, finding the contracts’ first-year hikes excessive, except for the United Aircraft pact which provided for a first-year hike of 8 percent with no provision for a catch-up increase. On January 13, the Board decided to allow the catch-up amounts (34 cents at Lockheed) in the first year if the parties would defer the remaining portion of the first-year hike (17 cents at Lockheed) to the second year. The unions then appealed the ruling in Federal District Court and in court in mid-1972 won restoration of the amounts cut by the Pay Board. The Board then appealed the lower court findings to the Temporary Court of Emergency Appeals (set up by the Economic Stabilization Act amendments of 1972 for such purposes) on the grounds that the 1968 agreements lacked specific language to set up back payments and that any catch-up letters were not valid and binding documents. The Temporary Court of Emergency Appeals upheld the lower court ruling and remanded the issue to the Cost of Living Council, which had succeeded the Pay Board, for recon sideration. Following recommendations of a three-member Aerospace Special Panel appointed by the Council, the With the approval of the Lockheed loan by Congress and its signing by President Nixon, the bargaining pace quick ened. In a July 19 letter, the company agreed to follow any settlements between the Auto Workers and the aerospace industry on catch-up money. At this time the UAW was claiming 34 cents. This renewed activity was short-lived, though, as the President, acting under the Economic Stabilization Act of 1970, imposed on August 15, 1971, a wage-price-rent freeze which extended through November 15. Because of uncertainty over what would come after the freeze, negotiations came to a virtual standstill. Accord ingly, the contract at Lockheed was extended (as were others in the industry) to November 15. After the freeze, a Federal Pay Board was established to review wage increases and provide a more flexible form of controls. On November 15, the IAM and Lockheed once again agreed to a contract extension with full-scale bargain ing to continue mainly on noneconomic matters. The first break in aerospace bargaining came on December 5, when the UAW reached an accord with the North American Rockwell Corp. which was expected to set the pattern for the rest of the industry. First-year wage increases in the North American pact averaged 51 cents an hour; second and third year raises were 3 percent each. In addition, the cost-of-living cap was removed with future adjustments to be made quarterly. A Lockheed agreement, similar to that at North Ameri can Rockwell, was reached on December 11, 1971, and ratified on December 12. The pact, which was subject to Pay Board approval, provided for a first-year hike in wages of 51 cents an hour retroactive to July 26, 1971, of which 34 cents was a “catch-up” amount in accord with the July 19 letter of agreement. Two deferred increases of 3-percent were provided in 1972 and 1973. The existing 16-cent cost-of-living allowance was “folded” or incorporated into base rates and the escalator clause was revised. The new clause called for adjustments (with no minimum or maxi mum) beginning August 1972, and quarterly (instead of annually) thereafter based on comparisons of 3-month averages of the BLS-CPFs. The first 1 cent of the allowance was diverted to the dental insurance fund. Provision of 3 additional holidays spread over the contract term and a rescheduling of holidays resulted in a week-long vacation at Christmas. This required an uneven distribution of holidays for each of the contract years, depending upon when Christmas and New Year’s Day fell. Group insurance benefit changes included improved hospital benefits for room and board up to the hospital’s actual charge for a semiprivate room; a 20-percent increase in X-ray and laboratory test schedules; a $25,000 major medical maximum; $8 in the first year, $8.75 in the second, and $9.50 in the third for the maximum unit Relative Value Schedule for surgical benefits schedule; $280 for normal maternity benefits and $120-$400 for other obstet rical-procedures; and a new dental program. Retirement benefits were increased to $8 a month for each year of credited service for those retiring after August 9 plus a vacation bonus. Other demands included improved group insurance benefits; improved pensions providing cost-of-living protection, a lower normal retirement age, and early retirement similar to the “ 30 (years) and out” in the auto industry; a full union shop; and limits on subcontracting work. Terms of the agreement reflected many of the union’s major concerns. Wages were increased by 5.5 percent retroactive to October 2, 1974, by 3 percent on October 4, 1975, and by 3 percent on October 2, 1976. Additional wage increases which resulted from upgrading were also retroactive to October 2. The existing 71-cent cost-of-living allowance was incorporated into base rates. Beginning in January 1975, workers were to receive a 1-cent cost-ofliving adjustment for each 0.3-point change in the BLS-CPI (1967=100) instead of for each 0.4-point change in the index (1957-59=100). The second shift and nonstandard workweek premiums were increased as were per diem and mileage. A total of 37 paid holidays were scheduled over the contract term compared with 34 over the previous pact and vacations could be taken in 1-day increments. Military training duty pay was established. Group insurance improvements included increased surgi cal and X-ray and laboratory benefits and an increase to $250,000 from $25,000 in the major medical maximum per disability. Coverage of care in a convalescent facility was established. The company increased its contribution to the dental plan. For those retiring on or after October 1, 1974, the normal monthly retirement benefit was increased to $12 a month (from $8) per year of service. Those retired before that date received a flat 5-percent increase in their monthly benefit. Under the savings portion of the income security plan, employees were allowed to contribute up to $12 (was $10) a week with the company matching 50 percent of the amount contributed by the employee. Other provisions limited subcontracting, strengthened seniority, and established a joint committee to study possible establishment of day-care centers for preschool children of employees. The contract was scheduled to remain in effect through October 1, 1977. The following tables bring the chronology up to date, except for possible cost-of-living adjustments, through the expiration date of the contract. Council ruled on December 12, 1973, that the five aerospace companies had to pay worKers the amount they would have received had the Pay Board not deferred part of the wage hike payable in the first year to the second; the back pay was to be paid in quarterly installments. At Lockheed, this amounted to 17 cents for each hour worked plus overtime premium from July 26, 1971 through July 30, 1972. Workers at some companies, however, were allowed only 40 hours per week in computation of the back pay with no provisions for overtime premium. The back pay award did not apply to employees who had been fired or quit their jobs. The unions were given 60 days to locate eligible laid-off workers. The Machinists, aissadned with the order, petitioned the Council to reconsider its decision regarding the computa tion of and eligibility for the back payments. In early February, the Council revised the ruling to permit all aerospace workers covered by its December ruling to receive the payment based on hours worked including overtime premium payments. The Lockheed agreement, which covered 17,000 work ers, was to remain in effect until October 1,1974. October 1974—Octooer 1977 The second major agreement10 in the 1974 round of aerospace bargaining was reached between LockheedCalifornia Co. and the I AM on October 19 and was ratified by the union membership the following day. The main features of the 3-year contract for 15,000 workers as described by an IAM publication were “greater protection against the ever-rising cost of living and a 50-percent improvement in retirement benefits.” Talks had begun in mid-July with an exchange of contract proposals between the IAM and company (and also between the union and Lockheed-Georgia Co. and Lockheed Missiles & Space Co.). Key union demands in cluded substantial wage hikes; an improved escalator formula “to bring it more closely in line with actual supermarket prices,” and with annual incorporations; addi tional labor grades; a 35-hour week; increased shift and overtime premium pay; additional holidays with triple time for holiday work; and increased sick leave and vacation pay 10 Boeing and the IAM had reached agreement on September 30. 10 Table 1.

The cost-of-living allowance was included in computing payments for overtime, vacation and sick leave, unused sick and injury leave, holiday and jury duty, and jury examination and witness service. 21 The agreement provided for adjustments beginning Jan. 4, 1975, and quarterly thereafter, determined as follows: 3-month average Consumer Price Index* (1967=100) Cost-of-living allowance** (in cents) 149.3 or less .................................................................... 0 1 4 9 .4 - 149.6 ............................................................... 1 1 4 9 .7 - 149.9 ............................................................... 2 1 5 0 .0 - 150.2 ...................... 3 150.3-150.5 .................................................................... 4 150.6-150.8 .................................................................... 5 1 5 0 .9 -1 5 1 .1 .................................................................... 6 1 5 1 .2 -1 5 1 .4 .................................................................... 7 1 5 1 .5 - 1 5 1 .7 ............................................................... 8 1 5 1 .8 - 1 5 2 .0 ............................................................... 9 1 5 2 .1 - 152.3 ............................................................... 10 and so forth, with a 1-cent adjustment for each 0.3-point change in the average Index. *The cost-of-living review in Jan. 1975 was based on the average of the BLS-CPI’s for Sept., Oct., and Nov. 1974, and the quarterly reviews beginning Apr. 1975 were based on the 3-month averages for Dec. 1974 and Jan. and Feb. 1975, and on 3-calendar-month intervals thereafter, respectively. (The 3-month average Index was rounded to the nearest 0.1 of a point.) **One cent of each upward quarterly adjustment was diverted to partially finance fringe benefits and the allowance shown in schedule therefore would be reduced by the amount of the cumulative diversions. The cost-of-living allowance (less diversions to finance improvements in fringe benefits) was included in computing payments for overtime, vacation and sick leave, unused sick and injury leave, military leave, holiday and jury duty, and jury examination and witness service. 18 Table 2a.

For cost-of-living allowances paid in addition to these rates, see table 1. In 1959 and earlier, progression from minimum to maximum rates in a grade was based on a review of the employee’s record each 16 weeks, with adjustment in accordance with the employee’s ability and production record. Starting in 1960, progression for nonprobationary employees on the active payroll was automatic. The agreement provided for a 5-cent-an-hour increase on the first Monday of November and March and a 6>cent increase on the first Monday of July, until the maximum rate was reached. Increases resulting in a rate above or no more than 2 cents below the maximum were adjusted to provide exactly the maximum rate. In 1961 and 1962, employees received automatic increases of 5 cents an hour on the first Monday of November and March and a 6-cent increase on the first Monday of July, until the maximum rate was reached. The Jan. 28, 1963 agreement provided for a 5-cent-an-hour increase on the second Monday 'T the fourth month of employment and of each fourth month thereafter, unless the fourth month was May, June, July, or August, when the increase was 6 cents, until the maximum rate was reached. Increases resulting in an amount above or no more than 2 cents below the maximum were adjusted to provided the maximum rate. 2Rates reflect incorporation of 2 cents of the previous 3-cent cost-of-living allowance into base rates, in addition to the 5-cent general wage increase. 3This was the maximum rate for factory labor grade 1 from Aug. 25 until Nov. 10, 1952. On Jan. 23, 1953, the National Wage Stabilization Board reve. ^ed the decision of the Regional Board and allowed an additional 5 cents, retroactive to Nov. 10,1952. (See table 10 4The 1958 contract removed some maintenance and skilled workers (e.g., tool and die makers, jig and fixture builders, and grade A maintenance carpenters) from the labor grade structure. 5Rates reflect incorporation of the 6-cent cost-of-living allowance into base rates, in addition to the 4-cent general wage increase. 6Rates reflect incorporation of 7-cent cost-of-living allowances into base rates, as well as general wage rate changes which varied from 5 to 8 cents, depending upon labor grade, and inequity adjustments.

For cost-of-living allowances paid in addition to these rates, see table 1. Employees received automatic increases of 5 cents an hour on the second Monday of the 4th month of employment and of each 4th month thereafter, unless the 4th month was May, June, July, or August, when the increase was 6 cents, until the maximum rate was reached. Scheduled increases resulting in an amount above or no more than 2 cents below the maximum were adjusted to provide the maximum rate. 2Rates reflect incorporation of the 9-cent cost-of-living allowance into base rates as well as the 8-cent-an-hour general wage increase. 3Upgraded in 1965.

For cost-of-living allowances paid in addition to these rates, see table 1. Employees received automatic increases of 5 cents an hour on the second Monday of the fourth month of employment and of each fourth month thereafter, unless the fourth month was May, June, July, or August (when the increase was 6 cents), until the maximum rate was reached. Scheduled increases resulting in an amount above or no more than 2 cents below the maximum were adjusted to provide the maximumrate. 2Grade order was reversed in 1968 so that the old grade 1 was the newgrade 16. Labor grades 17 and 18 which were added in 1968 were out of structure (O.S.) before 1968 agreement. 3Rates reflect incorporation of the 27-cent cost-of-living allowance into base rates on this date as well as the 6-percent general wage increase, and additional increases to certainjob grades. 4Upgraded in 1968 to grade shown from next lower grade. Some occupations not listed here also were upgraded. 5Rates reflect incorporation of 16-cent cost-of-living allowance into base rates. 6Upgraded in 1971 to grade shown from next lower grade. Some occupations not listed also were upgraded. 7Rates reflect incorporation of the 71-cent cost-of-living allowance into base rates, in addition to the 5.5-percent general wage increase. 8Upgraded in 1974 to grade shown from next lower grade.

Thereafter, the value of a unit determined for each fund by dividing the total amount in the bond or securities fund, less expenses, on the applicable valuation date by the total number of units allocated to such fund. 20For voluntary withdrawal, the tax law required that the amount forfeited be at least equal to the value of the units credited to each account because of company contributions during the first 8 quarters immediately preceding voluntary withdrawal. 53 Wage chronologies available The following wage chronologies are available from the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402, or from the regional offices of the Bureau of Labor Statistics listed on the inside back cover.
