a t i f i c a t i o n 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 United Automobile, Aircraft & Agricul
tural Implement Workers of America (UAW) on
July 4, 1958. The settlement also called for a 2cent-an-hour increase in the cost-of-living allow
ance and incorporated the existing 15-cent
allowance into the basic wage-rate structure.
Other wage benefits included a 3-percent (mini
mum 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 Statis
tics 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 bargain
ing unit. The June 1959 wage reopening provided
for a 4-cent increase for cafeteria workers.

Co. was designated as one of a number of com
panies to work on the problems involved in pro
ducing manned space stations.
Of the 44,000 employees on The Martin Co.
payroll in 1961, 14,000 were production workers
at manufacturing facilities at Baltimore, Md.;
Denver, Colo., and Orlando, Fla.
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 pensions. Wages were not an
issue at this time.
Negotiations, which the reopening clause of the
July 8, 1958, agreement confined to wages, were
terminated 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 to be effective in the second
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 new contract is to be effective from July 11,
1960, through July 15, 1963.
Workers of America (U A W )3 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 Septem
ber 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 Balti
more contract, which, ivas to have expired the pre
ceding July, to October 31; at Orlando, the con
tract period was shortened from December to
October 31. No change was necessary to make the
termination date of the Denver agreement coin
cide with the new dates at the other two plants.
With these changes, negotiations for a consoli
dated agreement covering the three locations
started on October 14. Demands for changes in
an extensiv e list of economic and noneconomic con
tract provisions were submitted by the union. In
addition to a request for “ substantial" wage in
creases, the auto workers would hav e 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 lay
off benefits regardless of the status of the fund and
to establish a supplemental unemployment bene
fits plan. Improv ements in the existing overtime,
holiday, vacation, call-in, and shift-differential
provisions were also provided in the union's pack
age proposal.
On November 13, 9,000 DAW members walked
off their jobs as negotiators failed to reach agree
ment 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.4 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.

1962.
4 As a resu lt of 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
a s in Haitimore, Md. Unless otherwise indicated, the new con-,
tract provisions reported applied to each of the three plants.
4
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 pro
vide quarterly adjustments of 1 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 ben
efits under the Extended Layoff Benefit plan were
increased. The insurance plan was liberalized and
workers" contributions were reduced. The contract
was to be in effect through November 17,1966, with
no reopening provisions.
The following changes bring general wage
changes up to date through March 1965, and
related wage practices up to the termination date
of the current agreement.

Extended L ayoff B enefUs
Sept. 5, 1960 (agreement
dated July 11, 1960).
Plan established to provide payments
for workers laid off for indeterminate
period, providing:
C om pany liability: Company to accrue
liability at rate of $5.20 a month per
employee on active payroll (exclud
ing employees on layoff or formal
leave of absence). Maximum com
pany liability to be computed each
month by adding current month’s
increment to previous month’s bal
ance (after subtracting net potential
charges but adding unpaid claims
allowed for in earlier months), but
not to exceed $100 per employee on
active payroll.
Size o f benefits: Lump sum of $50 to be
paid for each full year of credited
service up to 10 (maximum benefit
$500). Benefits to be reduced if pay
ments to all potentially eligible
employees would exceed the com
pany’s accrued maximum liability,
with each eligible employee to receive
amount equal to company’s maxi
mum liability for month, divided
by total number of years of credited
service (up to 10) of all employees
laid off during month, and multiplied
by the employee’s years of credited
service up to 10. No benefits to be
paid if total payments would be less
than $25 per eligible employee.
Benefits to be first payable when com
pany’s total liability exceeded $20
per employee.
Eligibility: Employee with a full year
of continuous service laid off as a
result of reduction in force for inde
terminate period to be eligible for
benefits after a 4-week waiting period,
on written application within 90 days
of layoff.
See footnote at end of table.
First monthly increment of liability to be com
puted as of first Monday in September.
Benefits not to be paid more than once for any
year of service. Employee receiving prorated
benefits and later recalled given service credit
equivalent to amount by which layoff benefit
was reduced.
In event of death of eligible employee, benefit
payable to legal representative or survivors.
Benefits not payable to employee who, during
waiting period, (1) was requested to report to
work or (2) received, was eligible for,
or claimed (a) statutory or company accident,
sickness, or other disability benefits (except
survivor’s allowance under workmen’s com
pensation or disability benefit) employee was
eligible to receive while fully employed, or
(b) unemployment or layoff benefits under an
arrangement with any other employer.
Plan contingent on obtaining Government rulings
that fl) benefits provided under plan (a) did
not constitute income to employee for tax
purposes until paid, (b) would be reimbursable
cost on Government contracts, (c) could be
deducted as ordinary business expenses at
time of payment for income tax purposes; and
(2) no part of liability or benefit would be in
cluded in any employee’s regular rate of pay.
If such rulings were subsequently revoked or
modified so as to be unsatisfactory to company,
obligation for liability under plan was to cease
and employees in the bargaining unit and on
active payroll would receive a 3-cent-an-hour
general wage increase, effective from the first
full pay period following the plan’s termination.
If simultaneous payment of benefits would
