Preface
This bulletin is one of a series prepared by the Bureau of Labor Statistics that traces changes in
wage scales and related benefits negotiated by individual employers or combinations 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. 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, dealing only with selected features of collective bargaining or wage determina­
tion, 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 chronology summarizes the changes in wage rates and supplementary compensation
practices negotiated by Martin Marietta Aerospace, an operating company of the Martin Marietta
Corporation, with the International Union, United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural
Implement Workers of America for the Baltimore plant since March 1944 and for the Denver and
Orlando plants since 1963. This bulletin replaces Wage Chronology: Martin-Marietta Corporation,
1944-64, published in 1965 as BLS Bulletin 1449, and incorporates the supplement covering the
1965-68 period. Materials previously published have been supplemented in this report by contract
changes negotiated in 1969 and 1972, which brings the chronology up to date through November 1,
1975. The analysis for the 1969-75 period was prepared in the Division of Trends in Employee
Compensation by Jane E. Hall.
The U.S. Bureau of the Census has introduced new job titles in its Occupational Classification
System to eliminate those that denote sex stereotypes. For purposes of this bulletin, however, old
titles have been retained where they refer specifically to contractual definitions. Where titles are
used in the generic sense, and not to describe a contract term, they have been changed to eliminate
the sex stereotype.

Introduction
Martin Marietta Corp. was incorporated in Maryland
on October 10, 1961, when the Martin Co. (formerly the
Glenn L. Martin Co.) merged with the AmericanMarietta Co. The Martin Co. grew out of pioneering
efforts in aviation by Glenn L. Martin, who founded the
enterprise in Baltimore, Maryland, in 1928. Subse­
quently, the Martin Co. manufactured amphibious air­
craft for commercial airlines and the Armed Forces,
along with medium range bombers. Production of
aircraft ceased in 1960. Following the merger, the
former Martin Co. establishments became the Aerospace
Division of Martin Marietta Corp., and in 1972 the
division was designated an operating company—Martin
Marietta Aerospace—of the corporation.
Martin Marietta Aerospace’s efforts are focused on
the design, development, and production of missiles,
space launch vehicles, spacecraft and space systems,
electronics, and communications. Major contracts come
mostly from the Federal Government for space or
defense systems. Currently, Martin Marietta Aerospace
has plants in Baltimore City and Middle River, Maryland;
Denver, Colorado; and Orlando, Florida. The company
also operates test facilities at Vandenberg Air Force
Base, California; Cape Canaveral, Florida; and White
Sands, New Mexico.
Other endeavors of the parent corporation are in
cement, stone, gravel, and sand aggregates, chemicals,
and primary aluminum production. This chronology,
however, is limited to the aerospace operations.
Employment at the former Martin Co. peaked at
20,000 production and maintenance workers in the early
1950’s and then gradually declined to 14,000 in 1961.
The reduction continued after the Aerospace Division
was formed, largely because of cutbacks in the Nation’s
space exploration program. The division currently has
800 production and related workers in the Baltimore
area plants and 1,000 each in Denver and Orlando
plants.
Production, maintenance, and cafeteria employees of
Martin Marietta Aerospace are represented by the
International Union, United Automobile, Aerospace and
Agricultural Implement Workers of America (UAW). The
union was certified as the exclusive bargaining repre­
sentative on October 18, 1943, by the National Labor
Relations Board.




The union held its founding convention, the first
constitutional convention, in 1935. The new organi­
zation represented 20,000 to 30,000 workers and
accepted a charter from the craft-oriented American
Federation of Labor (AFL), with the provision that the
charter’s jurisdictional limitations be removed at the
next AFL convention. The AFL Executive Council
defined union jurisdiction as including only “ employees
directly engaged in the manufacture of parts (but not
tools, dies, or machinery) and assembling of those parts
into completed automobiles, but not including job or
contract shops manufacturing parts or any other em­
ployees engaged in such automobile plants.” However,
the craft or industrial organization issue was left
unsettled at the AFL’s 1935 convention.
In July 1936, the UAW joined the Committee for
Industrial Organization (CIO), which had been formed
within the AFL in January of that year. The purpose of
the CIO was to promote the organization of mass
production industries on an industrial basis and encour­
age their AFL affiliation. The CIO unions were sus­
pended from the AFL later in 1936 on a charge of
engaging in “dual unionism” and in May 1938 they were
expelled. These unions held their first constitutional
convention in November 1938 and formed the Congress
of Industrial Organizations.
The UAW’s affiliation with the AFL-CIO (merged in
December 1955) continued until July 1, 1968, when it
became independent. Differences over matters of orga­
nizing the unorganized, unemployment and poverty,
civil rights, and foreign policy led to the disaffiliation. In
1974, the UAW was the second largest union in the
United States, with about 1.5 million members. The
membership is concentrated in the automobile, aero­
space, agricultural implement, and construction equip­
ment industries.
Union bargaining goals by industry are set by
convention approval following extensive consultation
throughout the union. Constitutional conventions are
held regularly to discuss wide-ranging issues affecting
workers and their families. When the convention falls in
the year in which major contracts expire, it also sets
goals for the upcoming negotiations in the industry.
Otherwise, a special bargaining convention is scheduled
for the expiration year to finalize contract demands.

Before designation of goals by the convention, various
regional and area meetings are held at which local union
leaders present issues affecting their memberships. Lo­
cals also transmit resolutions and contract proposals to
the convention for consideration.
The Martin Marietta—UAW contract terms generally
are influenced by agreements negotiated by other major
aerospace firms such as McDonnell-Douglas, Lockheed,
Ling-Temco-Vought Aerospace, and Boeing. These cor­
porations conduct negotiations approximately 1 year
earlier than Martin Marietta. Negotiations in the aero­
space industry also are influenced by the results of UAW
negotiations with the automobile manufacturers.




This chronology describes the changes in wages and
related practices provided in the collective bargaining
agreements negotiated between the company and UAW,
and by Directive Orders of the National War Labor
Board, since March 1944, when the first working
agreement was signed in Baltimore. Provisions of that
contract as reported in this chronology do not necessar­
ily represent changes in prior conditions of employment.
Martin Marietta acquired its Denver and Orlando facil­
ities in 1956 and 1957, respectively. These divisions
joined with the Baltimore bargaining unit and, in 1963,
the first multiplant agreement was negotiated. Subse­
quent to that date, contract provisions covered in this
chronology apply to employees at all three locations.

Summary of Contract Negotiations
March 1944—December 1951

A working agreement between the Martin Co. and the
United Automobile, Aircraft and Agricultural Imple­
ment Workers of America (UAW) was signed on March
27, 1944. The parties failed to reach agreement on issues
relating to wages, vacations, and sick-leave provisions.
Consequently, these issues were submitted to the Na­
tional War Labor Board for decision.
The first comprehensive written agreement between
the company and the union was signed on March 11,
1946. The practice of pay for holidays not worked was
established in this contract. An agreement dated October
10, 1948, dealt primarily with wage increases and
additional paid holidays, and the October 9, 1949,
contract improved the holiday and vacation provisions.
A company-financed retirement benefit plan was incor­
porated in the November 13, 1950, agreement and
became effective on May 15, 1951.
December 1951-June 1958

During the period from 1952 to 1956, wage rates at the
Martin Co. were increased as a result of deferred and
cost-of-living wage adjustment contract clauses negoti­
ated in 1951 with the UAW and supplemented by
interim memoranda of agreement, and liberalized pro­
visions covering wages and supplementary benefits ne­
gotiated late in 1954 and 1955.
An agreement dated December 22, 1951, and sched­
uled to remain in effect until December 31, 1954,
provided both for 4-cent-an-hour annual improvement
factor increases in June of 1952, 1953, and 1954, and a
5-cent deferred wage increase to become effective in
April 1953, as well as for quarterly cost-qf-living
escalator adjustments.
The agreement stated that “continuance of the
cost-of-living allowance . . . is dependent upon the con­
tinued availability of the official monthly [Consumer
Price] Index in its present form and calculated on the
same basis as the [interim] Index for September 15,
1951, unless otherwise agreed upon by the company and
the union.” A formula for converting the escalator
clause from the interim Consumer Price Index to the




revised series, introduced by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics in January 1953, was agreed upon by the
parties in June 1953. The new memorandum incorpo­
rated in the agreement provided for wage adjustments of
1 cent for each 0.6-point change in the revised index. In
addition, it changed the index months on which ad­
justments were to be based, thus avoiding a reduction of
1 cent in wages that would have been due in June 1953
under the previous formula. At the same time, it was
agreed that regardless of changes in the index, 3 cents
out of the existing cost-of-living allowance of 4 cents
would continue to be paid for the duration of the
agreement. It was also agreed to continue consideration
of an increase in the annual improvement factor by 1
cent an hour (from 4 to 5 cents). This change in the
factor was subsequently made effective June 30, 1954.
A contract agreed to on November 6, 1954, nearly 2
months before expiration of the existing agreement,.
provided for a general wage increase averaging 7 cents on
November 1, 1954, and 5-cent hourly deferred increases
in June of 1955 and 1956. The cost-of-living escalator
clause was continued, and intraplant inequity adjust­
ments in wage rates were provided. Full automatic
progression from the bottom to the top wage rate was
made effective for all labor grades. (Previously, the top
four labor grades were subject to quarterly merit reviews
after midpoints were reached.) Other contract changes
included liberalized pension and insurance plans and
increased vacations.
The new contract was scheduled to remain in effect
through June 30, 1957, with no provision for reopening.
However, on December 19, 1955, the parties signed a
supplemental agreement extending the termination date
to June 30, 1958. The supplemental agreement provided
for a general wage increase of 2 cents an hour effective
immediately, raised the deferred increase due in June
1956 by 1 cent (to 6 cents), and stipulated an additional
increase to go into effect in 1957. It also liberalized the
group insurance and pension plans.
July 1 9 5 8 -July 1962

Ratification of a new 3-year contract providing
hourly wage increases of 4 to 13 cents, effective July 7,

1958, was announced by the Martin Co. and the UAW
on July 4, 1958. The settlement also called for a
2- cent-an-hour increase in the cost-of-living allowance
and incorporated the existing 15-cent allowance into the
basic wage-rate structure. Other wage benefits included a
3- percent (minimum of 7 cents an hour) wage advance
effective July 1959 and a revision of the cost-of-living
escalator clause to provide quarterly adjustments of 1
cent an hour for each 0.5-point (instead of 0.6-point)
change in the Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Price
Index. Additional contract changes included liberalized
vacation and sick leave plans and increased insurance
benefits for employees and dependents.
The new contract, covering approximately 10,000
employees, was scheduled to remain in effect through
June 30, 1961, with provision for wage reopenings in
June 1959 for cafeteria employees and in June 1960 for
all employees in the bargaining unit. The June 1959
wage reopening provided for a 4-cent increase for
cafeteria workers.
In December 1959, the parties amended the pension
plan. The amendment increased the level of benefits for
future retirees as well as those already receiving pen­
sions. Wages were not an issue at the time.
Negotiations, which the reopening clause of the
July 8, 1958, agreement confined to wages, were termi­
nated on July 11, 1960, when the parties signed a new
3-year agreement covering other subjects as well as
wages. The settlement provided for a realinement of the
electronics job ladder, by upgrading and consolidating
some jobs and establishing two new wage-rate schedules
for electronics occupations. A general wage increase for
all employees was effective in the 2nd year, and
provision was made for a wage reopening in July 1962.
Changes in related wage practices included an eighth
paid “floating holiday” to be designated annually;
increased vacations for long-service employees, effective
in 1961; and liberalization of the health insurance
program. An extended layoff benefit plan, financed
solely by the company, was established to provide
lump-sum payments of $50 for each year of service up
to 10 for employees laid off 4 weeks or more. The stated
purposes of this plan were to “increase the security of
eligible employees by providing benefits in the event of
their layoff for an extended or indeterminate period”
and to supplement State unemployment insurance.
The contract was effective from July 11, 1960,
through July 15, 1963.
July 1962-November 1966

Negotiations in the summer of 1962 under the wage
reopening provided in the July 11, 1960, agreement




between the Martin Co. (the Aerospace Division of
Martin-Marietta Corp.) and the UAW1 increased wage
rates 5 to 8 cents an hour for production workers at the
company’s Baltimore plant, retroactive to July 16, 1962,
under an agreement signed September 29.
Negotiations opened at each of Martin’s three major
installations on September 6, 1963. Eleven days later,
the company and the International Union signed an
agreement extending the Baltimore contract, which was
to have expired the preceding July, to October 31; at
Orlando, the contract period was shortened from Dec­
ember to October 31. No change was necessary to make
the termination date of the Denver agreement coincide
with the new dates at the other two plants.
With these changes, negotiations for a consolidated
agreement covering the three locations started on Oc­
tober 14. Demands for changes in an extensive list of
economic and noneconomic contract provisions were
submitted by the union. In addition to a request for
“substantial” wage increases, the auto workers would
have incorporated the entire cost-of-living allowance into
basic rates and converted the escalator formula to the
new CPI. They also requested liberalizations in the
pension and insurance plans and an increase in the
number of days of sick leave. The company was asked to
guarantee full payment of extended layoff benefits
regardless of the status of the fund and to establish a
supplemental unemployment benefits plan. Improve­
ments in the existing overtime, holiday, vacation, call-in,
and shift-differential provisions were also provided in the
union’s package proposal.
On November 13, 9,000 UAW members walked off
their jobs as negotiators failed to reach agreement by a
2 p.m. strike deadline, but later in the day, the parties
agreed upon the first multiplant contract in the firm’s
history.2 Workers at the Baltimore and Denver plants
returned to their jobs the day after the settlement was
reached, but the Orlando local elected to stay out until
the contract was approved by its members.
The new 3-year contract, ratified by the union
membership at all three plants on November 16 and 17,
provided wage increases of 17 to 21 cents an hour,
including an immediate 5-cent increase and deferred
increases of 6 to 8 cents an hour on November 16, 1964,
and November 15, 1965. The cost-of-living escalator
clause was revised to provide quarterly adjustments of 1
*The UAW changed its name to the United Automobile,
Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of America on
May 8, 1962.
2As a result of the conclusion of this agreement, this
chronology has been expanded to include changes in contract
provisions at the company’s Denver, Colo., and Orlando, Fla.,
plants, as well as in Baltimore, Md. Unless otherwise indicated,
the subsequent contract provisions reported applied to each of
the three plants.

cent an hour for each 0.4-point change in the Bureau of
Labor Statistics New Series Consumer Price Index. The
pension plan and vacation, sick leave, and shift premium
pay provisions were liberalized, and benefits under the
Extended Layoff Benefit plan were increased. The
insurance plan was liberalized and workers’ contribu­
tions were reduced. The contract was to be in effect
through November 17, 1966, with no reopening
provisions.

November 1966—November 1969

Negotiations for a new master contract began in early
October 1966. On November 18, after 6 weeks of
bargaining, the parties reached agreement on a new
contract. The settlement was ratified by the union
membership on November 21.
Wage changes provided by the 3-year pact included
8-cent-an-hour increases in each year, upgrading of
several job classifications, continuation of cost-of-living
escalator reviews, and incorporation of 18 cents of the
existing 19-cent-an-hour cost-of-living allowance into the
basic wage structure.
Other contract gains were in the health and welfare
and pension areas and included a new “bridge” benefit
for widows of workers with children; increased life,
sickness and accident, major medical, maternity and
hospital and surgical benefits and pension payments;
improved survivor benefits; and elimination of minimum
age requirements for vested and disability benefits.
Workers already retired also received increased pension
benefits and the company assumed half the cost of their
improved hospital-surgical-medical insurance program.
Also provided were a 9th paid holiday and a 4th week of
vacation after 20 years’ service. A supplemental un­
employment benefit plan was substituted for the exist­
ing layoff benefit plan.
The master contract, which at the time of the
settlement covered about 8,400 workers, remained in
effect until midnight November 1, 1969, and contained
no reopening provisions. The number of workers covered
dropped to 6,500 at the contract termination date as a
result of layoffs.

November 1969—November 1972

The Martin Marietta Corp. and the UAW began
negotiations in Baltimore on October 6, 1969, to replace
the agreement scheduled to expire November 1. Benefits
sought by the union included noncontributory health
and life insurance and increased pensions, along with a
substantial wage increase.




The Aerospace Division, which had been laying off
large numbers of workers during the preceding 5 years,
called for a freeze on wage increases because of high
labor costs.
As bargaining continued into early November, the
previous contract was extended to midnight, November
21, and the 4,200 workers approved a strike time of
12:01 a.m., November 22. However, an agreement was
reached November 21. On November 23, the employees
ratified the national and local agreements by more than
a 4 to 1 margin.
The 3-year national pact called for wage increases of
10 to 30 cents in the 1st year and 10 to 20 cents in each
of the other years. Following the industry pattern, the
cost-of-living escalator clause was changed to provide for
annual adjustments of at least 3 cents but not more than
8 cents, calculated at the existing rate of 1 cent for each
0.4-point change in the Bureau of Labor Statistics
Consumer Price Index (1957-59=100). The previous
formula had provided for quarterly adjustments, without
the minimum and maximum limits.
Improvements in the pension plan increased monthly
total and permanent disability, early retirement, and
normal retirement benefits effective January 1, 1970,
and again on January 1, 1972. Employees who had
retired under normal, early, or permanent disability
provisions prior to January 1, 1970, had their monthly
pensions increased (subject to any appropriate reduction
factors) by $ 1 for each year of credited service. Because
of the instability of employment in the industry, the
plan was changed to reinstate all service credits for
reemployed workers whose service was broken after
January 1, 1970, as a result of the expiration of recall
rights or because of a disability.
Supplemental unemployment benefits were increased
to 75 percent of an employee’s base rate. The 75 percent
included State benefits and any other compensation.
Effective December 15, 1969, life insurance and
accidental death and dismemberment benefits were
improved. Full coverage for maternity and obstetrical
benefits was expanded to include both employees and
spouses and to provide necessary hospital services for all
types of pregnancy on the same basis as any other health
condition. Also liberalized were major medical benefits,
hospital benefits, diagnostic X-ray and laboratory ex­
amination maximums, and mental illness coverage.
Other improvements included an additional paid
holiday, a liberalized definition of the immediate family
for paid bereavement leave purposes, an increase in
sickness and accident benefits, and the adoption of
make-up military leave pay.
The master contract, which covered about 5,000
workers, remained in effect until midnight November 1,
1972, with no reopening provisions.

November 1972—November 1975

Negotiations between Martin Marietta Aerospace and
the UAW began on October 13, 1972, on a contract to
replace the one scheduled to expire November 1. Key
union demands included improvement in the pension
plan, an “uncapped” cost-of-living clause, and general
wage increases.
A 3-year agreement covering approximately 3,200
workers was reached on November 10, and ratification
was completed on November 12.
Terms generally followed the pattern set by the UAW
settlements with other major aerospace producers nego­
tiated in December 1971. The Martin Marietta contract
provided for a wage increase of 28 cents an hour at the
Baltimore plants, retroactive to November 6, 1972.
Workers in Denver and Orlando received a 44-cent
increase. Of these amounts, 5 cents in Baltimore and 21
cents in Denver and Orlando were part of the 28-cent
cost-of-living “overage” accumulated during the previous
contract term.3 The balance (23 cents in Baltimore and
7 cents each in Denver and Orlando) was applied to meet
higher Baltimore pension costs, which resulted from an
older, longer-service work force at Baltimore. Threepercent increases were scheduled for the 2d and 3d
contract years for all employees at all locations.
The 16-cent-an-hour cost-of-living allowance from
the previous agreement was incorporated into base wage
3In a separate company letter dated Nov. 21, 1969, it was
agreed that any excess over the 16-cent maximum cost-of-living
allowance during the lifetime of the 1969-72 contract would be
applied to wages and fringes, by mutual agreement, subsequent
to the termination date of the contract.




rates and the escalator clause was revised to provide for
unlimited quarterly, rather than limited annual adjust­
ments.
On January 19, 1973, the Pay Board reduced the 1st
year increases by 5 cents, to 23 cents at Baltimore, and
39 cents (23 cents for the Beginner classification and
cafeteria employees) at Denver and Orlando. The Board
said that the cut could be restored later, by adding 5
cents to the 3-percent deferred increase scheduled for
November 1973. On March 21, 1974, the Pay Board
ruled that the payment of 5 cents an hour, which was
part of the “overage,” be made retroactive to November
6, 1972. It was paid to employees in a lump sum for
hours worked between Nov. 6, 1972, and Nov. 4,1973.
The pension agreement, which was effective Jan­
uary 1, 1973, featured a Level Income Special Allow­
ance which provided an extra monthly payment to
employees retiring at or after age 60 and continuing
until they reached age 62 or became eligible for social
security benefits, whichever was earlier. Vesting provi­
sions were amended so that only employees working on
January 1, 1973 (or on layoff or approved leave) would
be eligible for a deferred pension after 10 years of
service. Effective January 1, 1973, all those in retire­
ment status on that date received pension increases of
$15 per month, regardless of years of service.
Additional floating holidays were designated to prov­
ide for a Christmas-New Year’s shutdown without loss of
pay. Other contract terms included a variety of im­
provements in the health and welfare program.
The contract was to be effective from November 10,
1972, until November 1, 1975. The following tables
bring the wage chronology up to date through the
contract termination date.

Quarterly cost-of-living review. The new memorandum of agree­
ment provided for quarterly adjustments of the cost-of-living
allowance of 1 cent for each 0.6-point change in the BLS
Consumer Price Index (revised series). If the CPI fell below
113.6, the cost-of-living allowance would be zero.5 In addition,
the index months on which the quarterly reviews were based
were shifted (thus avoiding the adjustment due in June 1953
under the previous cost-of-living formula). The new table of
adjustments did not reflect 3 of the 4 cents then being paid as
a cost-of-living allowance. However, the company agreed to
continue to pay this 3 cents for the duration of the agreement.

1General wage changes are upward or downward adjustments
affecting a substantial number of workers at one time. Not
included are adjustments in individual rates (promotions, merit
increases, etc.) and minor adjustments in wage structure (such as
changes in individual job rates or automatic progression in­
creases) that do not have an immediate and noticeable effect on
the average wage leveL
The wage changes listed were the major adjustments in the
general wage level made during the period covered. Because of
fluctuations in earnings, changes in products and employment
practices, the omission of nongeneral changes in rates, and other
factors, the sum of the general changes listed will not necessarily
coincide with the change in straight-time average hourly earn­
ings.
2Previously, the company had granted increases averaging 3.8
cents an hour about April 1941, increases averaging 5.2 cents an
hour about October 1941, and increases averaging 6.5 cents an
hour in October 1942 to compensate for loss of earnings due to
the operation of Executive Order 9240.
3 During this period the UAW*s right to act as collective­
bargaining agent for the plant production workers was ques­
tioned by another union. Shortly after the increase, the UAW
won a National Labor Relations Board election and was
recertified.
4The contract included an escalator clause based on BLS
Consumer Price Index and provided quarterly adjustments with
the stipulation that a decline in the index below the September
15,1951, index figure would not be the basis for a reduction in
wage rates. The cost-of-living adjustment provision, as written
into the agreement, closely follows the General Motors system
(reported in Wage Chronology No. 9, Monthly Labor Review,
September 1949) but differs in three respects: (1) adjustments
were based on the September 1951 CPI and quarterly thereafter;
(2) the changes were automatic after a 1.15-point change in the
index; and (3) the agreement started at a higher level on the
index.
5The memorandum of agreement provided that future
cost-of-living adjustments be based on the Revised Series
Consumer Price Index (1947-49=100) as follows:
Consumer Price Index
Hourly cost-of-living alio wance
113.6 or le s s .............................................None
113.7 to 114.2 .........................................1 cent
114.3 to 114.8 ........................................ 2 cents

115.5 to 1 1 6 .0 ...................................... 4 cents
116.1 to 116.6 ...................................... 5 cents
116.7 to 1 1 7 .2 ........................................6 cents
and so forth, with a 1-cent change for each 0.6-point change
in the index.
6Employees in labor grades 1-A, 1, and 2 received increases
of 9 cents an hour; those in grades 3 through 5, 7 cents; and
those in grades 7 through 10-C, 6 cents.
7The new agreement provided that quarterly cost of living
adjustments effective January, April, July, and October were to
be based on the BLS Consumer Price Index for the index months
of February, May, August, and November as follows:
Hourly cost-of-living allowance
Consumer Price Index
(1947-49=100)
........................None
122.8 and below
........................ 1 cent
122.9 to 123.3 .

.......................5 cents
124.9 to 125.3 .
125.4 to 125.8 .
.......................6 cents




and so forth* with a 1-cent adjustment for each 0.5-point
change in the index.
8
The new agreement provided that quarterly cost-of-living
adjustments, effective January, April, July, and October, were to
be based on the BLS Consumer Price Index for the index months
of February, May, August, and November, as follows:
Consumer Price Index
Hourly cost-of-living allowance
(1947-49=100)
125.8 and belo w ___
..................... * None
125.9 to 1 2 6 .3 .........

.......................5 cents
128.4 to 1 2 8 .8 .........
..................... 6 cents
and so forth, with a 1-cent adjustment for each 0.5-point
change in the index.
The cost-of-living allowance currently in effect is to be
included in computing only overtime, vacation, call-in, and
holiday payments.
9
General wage changes for this and subsequent dates apply to
the company’s three plants.
10
The new agreement provided that future cost-of-living
adjustments be determined as follows:
Hourly cost-of-living allowance

135.4 and o v e r ...................................... 16 cents
The cost-of-living allowance was to be included in computing
overtime, holiday, vacation, and call-in pay.
14 1972 increases reflect a 5-cent-an-hour reduction in the
negotiated amount by Pay Board ruling of January 19, 1973. This
amount was deferred until November 5, 1973. In addition, out
of the 28-cent cost-of-living “overage” due under the previous
agreement (see text, p. 6), Baltimore put 23 cents into
pensions, and Denver and Orlando put 7 cents each toward
Baltimore pension costs. On March 21, 1974, the Pay Board
ruled that the payment of 5 cents an hour, which was part of the
“overage,” be made retroactive to November 6, 1972. It was
paid to employees in a lump sum for hours worked between
November 6, 1972, and November 4, 1973.
15 The agreement provided that cost-of-living adjustments be
determined as follows:

lrrhe change in product at the Martin Co. brought about
some occupational realinement and shift in the proportion of
workers in the various jobs. The occupations shown in each
grade are those with significant numbers of workers in 1961.
2Increase was given all employees on payroll within specified
labor grades as of the effective date and added to maximum rate
for each labor grade; minimum rates were unchanged.
3Includes cost-of-living allowances incorporated into base
rates-15 cents as of July 7, 1958, and 6 cents on July 11, 1960.
4Prior to July 1958, progression from the minimum to the
maximum rate consisted of automatic 5-cent-an-hour increases
every 17 weeks until the maximum job classification was
reached. Effective July 7, 1958, the interval was reduced to 16
weeks.
5Eliminated by Nov. 14, 1963, agreement.
6The basic hourly wage rates for these new classifications
were applicable only to employees hired or recalled after July
11, 1960.




7Was labor grade 10-C prior to the 1958 agreement The
agreement of 1958 eliminated this grade and established a
separate schedule for cafeteria workers. Rates provided in this
schedule in addition to those shown for cafeteria workers grade

(former labor grade 8), minimum $1.81, maximum $2.20;
cafeteria cashiers and receiving room checkers (former grade 9),
$1.76-$2.15; laborers and cafeteria workers, grade A (former

$1.85-$2.24, $1.80-$2.19, and $1.75-$ 2.09, respectively. The
rates effective July 11, 1960, were $1.91-$2.30, $1.86-$2.25,
and $1.81-$2.15, respectively.

lrThe 1963 agreement changed progression from the mini­
mum to the maximum rate to automatic 5-cent-an-hour increases
every 14 (was 16) weeks. Rates shown reflect incorporation of
the following cost-of-living allowances into base rates on the
dates shown: 10 cents at Baltimore; 7 cents at Denver; and 4
cents at Orlando.
2Rates shown reflect incorporation of 18 of the existing 19
cents cost-of-living allowance into base rates.
3Rates shown reflect incorporation of 38 cents cost-of-living
allowance in Orlando and Baltimore (except in minimum rates
for grades 6-10 at Baltimore and 7-11 at Orlando) and 36 cents
in Denver (2 cents was diverted to the SUB fund Jan. 2, 1967).
4The automatic progression interval for Baltimore employees




in labor grades 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 was reduced to 12 weeks. Also,
in the 1969 agreement, employees who were recalled at their
request and temporarily assigned to classifications other than the
one held at layoff were paid 18 cents above minimum in grades
6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 and were given an automatic progression
increase of 5 cents an hour at 4-week intervals for the first 16
weeks, and thereafter at 12-week intervals.
5
Rates shown reflect incorporation of the 16 cents cost-ofliving allowance into base rates.
NOTE: Except for cost-of-living allowances incorporated
into base rates, as indicated in footnotes, allowances are
excluded from rates presented in this table.
