Preface
This report is one o f a series prepared by the Bureau of Labor Statistics to trace
changes in wage scales and related benefits negotiated by individual employers, or com­
binations of employers with a union or group of unions in selected collective bargaining
situations. Benefits unilaterally introduced by an employer are generally included. The
information is obtained from collective bargaining agreements and related documents
voluntarily filed with the Bureau as new settlements are reached. Any description of
the course of collective bargaining is derived from news media and confirmed and/or
supplemented by the parties to the agreement. The chronologies, dealing only with
selected features o f collective bargaining or wage determination, are intended primarily
as a tool for research, analysis, and wage administration. References to grievance pro­
cedure and similar matters are omitted.
This wage chronology summarizes changes in wage rates and related wage practices
negotiated in the major North Atlantic Coast ports with the International Longshoremen’s
Association since 1934.
This bulletin consolidates BLS Report 234 and additional information on negotiated
contract changes effective through September 1971. The earlier texts are included as they
were originally published; no attempt has been made to revise these statements to reflect
the current situation. The analysis for the period 1962—71 was prepared in the Division
of Trends in Employee Compensation by John J. Lacombe II.

North Atlantic Longshoremen, 1934-71
Introduction
1934-511

Association and the International Longshoremen’s Asso­
ciation. Although the contract expired before negotia­
tions were completed, it was extended to prevent inter­
ruption in dock operations.
By October 8, 1951, the Union Wage Scale Com­
mittee for the Atlantic Coast District and representa­
tives o f the New York Shipping Association (comprising
of about 175 operators) had reached agreement on the
terms o f a 2-year contract to be effective as o f October 1,
1951. The new contract provided for one wage reopen­
ing, in September 1952. Ratification by the union mem­
bership was voted on October 11. As in previous years,
the New York agreement established a pattern that was
accepted by operators and local unions from Portland,
Maine, to Hampton Roads, Va.
Subsequently, dissident local groups challenged the
validity o f the contract, and the ensuing work stoppage
led to the appointment o f a New York State Board o f
Inquiry to investigate the claims and counterclaims o f the
union factions. Findings o f the Board included a state­
ment that “the collective (New York) agreement was
validly ratified and should remain in full force and
effect.” Further, the Board recommended the continu­
ation o f the present system o f having the entire Atlantic
Coast District vote on the Port o f New York agreement.
The Regional Wage Stabilization Board approved the con­
tract on January 10,1952.

Collective bargaining between the International Longshpremen’s Association (AFL) and employers in the
major North Atlantic coast ports has developed a pattern
having the effect, if not the form, o f coastwide bargain­
ing over a period o f years. Since 1934, the terms o f the
agreements negotiated by the New York Shipping Asso­
ciation and the New York locals o f the International
Longshoremen’s Association (ILA) have generally been
adopted by employers and union locals in major ports
extending from Portland, Maine, to Hampton Roads, Va.
Each port, however, has maintained its own bargaining
committees, which negotiate separate agreements. In
Boston, there was no written agreement from 1935 to
1950. Actual terms under which the men worked were
the same or substantially similar to those in other ports.
This chronology describes the major changes in wage
rates and related wage practices put into effect since 1934
in the ports o f New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Balti­
more, and Hampton Roads. It deals with the provisions
o f the General Cargo Agreements covering “work pertain­
ing to the rigging o f ships, the coaling o f same, the load­
ing and unloading o f all cargoes, including mail, ship’s
stores and baggage, and the handling o f lines in connec­
tion with the docking and undocking o f ships.” Cargo
repairmen, checkers, clerks, general maintenance, me­
chanical and miscellaneous workers, horse and cattle
fitters, grain ceilers, marine carpenters, and port watch­
men are not covered in these agreements.
The agreements, which became effective October 1,
1949, were to continue in force until September 30,
1951. One reopening, on wages only, was permitted on
or before September 1 ,1 9 5 0 . The pension agreement was
to continued in effect for 5 years.

1952
The 2-year agreement between the International Long­
shoremen’s Association (AFL)2 and the New York Ship­
ping Association was reopened in August 1952 for discus­
sions on general wage changes and other matters. When
the parties were unable to reach agreement, the matter
was referred to arbitration.

1951

Monthly Labor Review, December 1948.
In September 1953, the AFL convention expelled the
ILA and issued a charter to a new union of the same name.

Negotiations for a new contract to replace the agree­
ment scheduled to expire September 3 0 ,1 9 5 1 , were be­
gun early in that month by the New York Shipping

On November 25, 1952, the arbitrator released his
award which allowed a general wage increase, main­
tained overtime at time and one-half the applicable
general or penalty cargo rate, and raised most penalty
rates by the same amount as the general increase. Much
of the award was subject to Wage Stabilization Board
(WSB) approval. When the President o f the United States
abolished the board on February 6, 1953, the parties’
petition had not been acted on, but the order ending
controls permitted the immediate institution o f the
changes pending WSB action. Thereupon, the increase
was put into effect in the New York Harbor area as well
as in other- North Atlantic Coast ports which follow the
New York pattern.

union shop, virtual elimination o f the shapeup,4 a no­
strike no-lockout clause, and grievance and arbitration
machinery. The agreement was rejected by the union
membership on December 10, primarily because o f the
no-strike and arbitration clauses. By December 31, the
union’s wage scale committee approved a new 2-year
agreement that was essentially similar to the one rejected,
but with modifications in the controversial provisions
and a guarantee that existing port practices would remain
unchanged. The agreement was ratified by the members,
by a vote o f almost 3 to 1, on January 5, 1955, and
signed on February 24, 1955.
3 Settlement was also reached at a number of smaller ports
not covered by this chronology.
4 With the establishment of the Waterfront Commission of
New York Harbor by concurrent action of the New York and
New Jersey legislatures in 1953, the longstanding “shape” system
for hiring longshoremen was modified. The need for reform was
dramatically pointed up by the findings of a special committee
appointed by the Governor of New York on the misuse of
hiring authority. The “shape” continues to be used in other
ports of the North Atlantic Coast except Baltimore.
Although the commission’s responsibility was limited to the
elimination of unsavory practices in the port area, the accomp­
lishment of this objective required some regulation of the in­
dividual workers and of hiring practices. Many of the problems
in the area existed only because of the large excess of workers
over available jobs. The commission’s approach to the problem
was to require registration of all longshoremen and to refuse
certification to individuals with serious criminal records or with
only irregular attachment to the industry.
In 1953, after the initial registration and some reduction in
the available labor force, the commission established a pre­
validation hiring system. Under this system, employers were
required to submit advance lists of permanent workers needed
for a week and to inform the commission of needs for casual
workers for the following day. Employers were also required by
their contract with the union to notify the men on the day prior
to commencement of employment. This applied to both the
weekly and daily lists. Under the commission’s rules, the list
of permanent employees could be extended from week to week
and the daily list from day to day. Only workers applying for
fill-in jobs were required to report to the port employment
offices.
By permitting hiring agents and others to expand the lists
until excessive numbers of men were eligible for jobs, the
employers largely invalidated the advantages of the system.
A somewhat different approach, designed to rectify the
deficiencies of the prevalidation method, was instituted by the
commission in 1955. Regulations issued by the commission
required stevedores to certify the names of regular workers;these
were posted at the pierhead and in the employment center for
the area. Stevedores hired men from day to day at the pierhead
and reported hiring information daily to the area employment
center where it was recorded. At the end of each month, steve­
dores removed from their lists the names of workers who had not
been hired regularly. Regular gangs not employed at their own
pier, extra gangs, and casuals were hired for fill-in work through
the commission’s employment centers.
Despite these measures, primary responsibility for fair em­
ployment procedures rests on the representatives of labor and
management. A measure of this responsibility was met by the
negotiation of a quasi-seniority system in 1955 that implemented
the commission’s regulations. Gangs or individuals who were
attached to a particular pier or who received preferred employ­
ment at locations where gangs were not regularly used were
designated as “regulars” and given preferential job rights. Gangs
and individuals without such attachments were designated as
“extras” and could be hired by a stevedore only after the supply
of regular gangs and individuals had been exhausted. “ Regulars”
became “extras” when work was not available at their pier and
they sought employment at other locations. “Regulars” working
away from their home pier were obligated to return when needed.

1953-61
For the International Longshoremen’s Association (ILA),
the period 1953 through 1960 was one o f uncertainty,
characterized by the regulation o f hiring activities by
the bistate Waterfront Commission o f New York Harbor,
strikes, legal actions, and representation elections. Col­
lective bargaining, particularly with the New York Ship­
ping Association, was influenced by developments ordi­
narily outside the scope o f industrial relations. The
period was also highlighted by expulsion o f the union
from the American Federation o f Labor in 1953, con­
ditional reaffiliation with the merged American Feder­
ation o f Labor and Congress o f Industrial Organizations
(AFL-CIO) in 1959, and unconditional affiliation with
the AFL-CIO in January 1961.
In the fall o f 1953, when the existing agreement was
scheduled to terminate, a representation challenge by
the newly chartered AFL International Brotherhood of
Longshoremen and other problems made negotiations
in the New York area impossible. However, negotiations
proceeded in the other North Atlantic Coast ports, and
by February 1954, new 2-year agreements had been
reached in six ports.3 They provided an 8-cent-an-hour
general wage increase and an additional 2 cents an hour
for the welfare and insurance funds. In August 1954, the
ILA was certified as the collective bargaining agent for
the New York dockworkers after a long contest for
representation and a repeat election. In October, the
New York locals settled for an 8-cent-an-hour increase,
retroactive to October 1, 1953. The employers also
agreed to a 2-cent-an-hour increase in welfare payments,
effective April 1, 1954, in return for a 45-day no-strike
pledge, pending negotiations on a new contract.
On November 2 5 ,1 9 5 4 , negotiations for a new 2-year
agreement were concluded by the New York Shipping
Association, the other port stevedoring associations, and
the ILA. The tentative agreement, retroactive to Octo­
ber 1, 1954, provided for a 17-cent-an-hour package, the




2

The major deterrent to agreement in the 1956 nego­
tiations was the union’s insistence on a master contract
for all North Atlantic and Gulf Coast ports. Earlier
agreements had been on a port-by-port basis, with the
New York contract setting the pattern. After prolonged
negotiations and two contract extensions, some 60,000
longshoremen, in ports extending from Portland, Maine,
to Brownsville, Tex., went on strike November 16 to
protest the employers’ refusal to agree to an industry­
wide contract. The national emergency provisions o f the
Labor Management Relations Act were invoked, and 6
days after the strike began a Board o f Inquiry was
appointed.' The November 24 report o f the three-man
board concluded that the union’s demand for an
industrywide contract had prevented agreement. How­
ever, paid holidays, improved vacations, an 8-hour work
guarantee, and limitations on sling loads were also listed
as disputed issues. By November 26, all longshoremen
were back at work under a 10-day Federal court restrain­
ing order, later extended to the full 80-day statutory
period and modified to provide that any negotiated
increases in wages, pensions, and welfare contributions
would be retroactive to October 1. In mid-December
1956, the same court, at the request o f the National
Labor Relations Board, issued a temporary injunction
barring the union from industrywide bargaining for Gulf
and Atlantic Coast ports. With the expiration o f the 80day injunction on February 12, 1 9 5 7 ,5 the strike re­
sumed in Middle and North Atlantic ports; settlements
had been reached in southern ports. Five days later, the
New York Shipping Association and the ILA signed an
agreement providing that all ports from Maine to Virginia
would have uniform wages, hours, and employer con­
tributions to the welfare and pension funds. The con­
tract, which was to run to September 3 0 ,1 9 5 9 , increased
wage rates 32 cents an hour over the 3-year period and
included a “one-shot” escalator provision. Employer
welfare contributions were increased 5 cents an hour.
Under the terms o f the new agreement, local negotiations
were to deal with working conditions, vacations, holi­
days, and welfare and pension benefits. In the negotiation
for this agreement, the New York Shipping Association
acted for the industry under authorizations from the
associations in the other North Atlantic ports.
Late in 1958, a dispute arose between the New York
Shipping Association and the ILA, when union members
refused to handle containers loaded away from the pier
by non-ILA labor. The dispute was referred to the port
arbitrator when the union extended its ban to all shipperloaded containers handled by companies not using this
system prior to October 1, 1956. A temporary solution
was reached when the New York Shipping Association
assured the arbitrator that no loss o f jobs would result




from the use of the containers during the term o f the
contract. With this assurance, the union agreed to
handle containers for all companies using them on
November 12, 1958; however, companies not using
containers were to notify the union if they contemplated
such operations.
Since it was evident that the stevedoring industry was
changing, the parties also agreed on the need to direct
the course o f automation and containerization in the
port so as to increase productivity without materially
depressing the economic status o f the longshoremen.
In addition, future expansion o f containerization was
made the subject of negotiations to begin early in 1959.
In the negotiations which began January 5, 1959,
the union continued to be concerned with the direct
effect of containerization on the number o f jobs and
earning power o f its members, as well as its indirect
effect on the pension and welfare funds. The New York
Shipping Association agreed in principle that regular
employees should be given some indemnification for
loss o f job opportunities because o f containerization
but demanded unrestricted use of containers and the
sole right to determine the size o f the working force.
The parties were unable to resolve their differences,
and containerization became a major issue in bargaining
for a new contract.
Negotiations on a new agreement, to replace the
contract due to expire September 30, 1959, began on
August 10. With the approach o f the expiration day, it
became evident that a work stoppage was imminent.
In attempts to forestall a strike, the Secretary o f Labor,
the Governor o f New York, and the Mayor o f New York
City each requested the parties to continue negotiations.
On September 30, the day the requests for continuation
of negotiations were received, the ILA and the New York
Shipping Association agreed to a 15-day contract exten­
sion with the understanding that adjustments in wage
rates and contributions to the welfare and pension funds
would be retroactive to October 1.
On October 1, when Gulf Coast employers refused to
agree to retroactivity, the ports in that area were struck
and later in the day the walkout spread to the entire
Atlantic Coast. Some 70,000 workers were affected.
Six days after the men left the docks, a Taft-Hartley
Board o f Inquiry was appointed by the President o f the
United States. On October 7, the board reported that
the unresolved issues were “wage rates, procedures for
installing mechanical devices and effecting containeri­
zation, gang size, and certain fringe benefits, including
pension, health and welfare.” The following day, on
application o f the National Labor Relations Board, a
5
After extended legal proceedings, the National Labor
Relations Board on January IS, 1961, ordered the case closed.

1962-64

Federal district court issued a temporary order restrain­
ing the union from striking, and on October 17, this
was extended for the full statutory period.
The parties resumed negotiations on October 19,
1959, with a new employer proposal relating to contain­
erization which the union labeled inadequate. By Novem­
ber 4, the union had proposed royalty payments on
containers and the New York Shipping Association had
restated its earlier proposal for a 25-cent-a-ton payment
on containerized cargo loaded or unloaded on the docks.
Coupled with this, the shippers wanted the right to
install automatic equipment and to regulate the size
of gangs. Both offers were rejected.
On December 10, the ILA and the New York Ship­
ping Association agreed on a 3-year contract covering
North Atlantic Coast ports. It provided a 46-cent-an-hour
package over the contract period, with rates for handling
general cargo increased 12 cents an hour, retroactive to
October 1, 1959, and 5 cents more on October 1 o f
both 1960 and 1961. A paid holiday was to be added
in each contract year, bringing the total to 8 from 5.
Eligibility requirements for vacations were liberalized
and pension and welfare contributions were increased.
On the issue o f containerization, the parties agreed
to retain the standard gang size, to use ILA members
when containers were loaded and unloaded at the pier,
and to discuss further the question o f penalty payments
for shipments loaded or unloaded o ff the pier. It was
agreed that the question o f these penalty payments
would be submitted to arbitration if the parties could
not settle the problem within 2 weeks.
In August 1960, when negotiations failed to produce
agreement, the issue was submitted to a board o f arbi­
tration consisting o f one member each representing labor
and management and an impartial chairman. The board,
on November 22, 1960, handed down an award that
would indemnify ILA members for loss o f work resulting
from the movement o f containerized cargo through the
port o f New York. The award required employers to
pay into a jointly administered fund a royalty for each
ton o f “containerized” cargo shipped, with the amount
ranging from 35 cents to $1 per gross ton, depending
on the proportion o f ship capacity fitted for vans or
containers. Payments into the fund were made retro­
active to July 1, 1960, and were to continue for the
duration o f the existing collective bargaining agreement,
with the provision that either party could seek adjust­
ments on October 1, 1961. The method o f distributing
the fund among the work force was to be agreed upon
by the parties. Although the award covered only the
New York Shipping Association, all other associations
and locals were urged to study the award because o f its
effect on waterfront operations.6




Concerted efforts by State and Federal officials 7
failed to narrow sufficiently the differences between
bargaining positions o f the International Longshoremen’s
Association (ILA) and the New York Shipping Associ­
ation (NYSA) to avert a 39-day strike in 1962 and 1963,
the longest in the history of the North Atlantic Long­
shore Industry. Ports from Maine to Texas were closed
when 50,000 Atlantic and Gulf Coast longshoremen
stopped work on October 1, 1962, and again from
the termination o f a Taft-Hartley injunction on Decem­
ber 23 until late January 1963. At that time, a threemember special Presidential Board successfully mediated
the dispute.
Bargaining positions o f the ILA Atlantic Wage Scale
Committee and the New York Shipping Association were
established when negotiating sessions opened on June 13,
1962. The New York Shipping Association had been
authorized to represent the employers in other North
Atlantic Coast ports during these negotiations on the five
points covered by the master agreement. On June 13, the
union demands 7 included a key proposal to reduce the
workday from 8 to 6 hours with no loss in pay. Other
demands were for annual wage reopeners, increases in
pensions from $85 to $125 a month, and an additional
$2 an hour for all longshoremen who moved cargoes on
pallets.8 The total proposed increase in wages and fringe
benefits was estimated by the union at 50 cents an hour
over a 2-year period.
On June 16, the association presented its counter­
proposals, including a wage increase o f 22 cents an hour
and pension and welfare plan improvements in a 2-year
contract. All improvements were to be conditioned on
various changes in work rules, including flexibility in
switching gangs from one ship to another and a reduction
in the size o f gangs working general cargo.
On August 1, the association revised its wage offer to
include three 9-cent-an-hour wage increases to be ef­
fective on September 30 o f 1963, 1964, and 1965. The
proposal was rejected by union negotiators.
6 The Boston Shipping Association and the Steamship Trade
Association of Baltimore accepted the principle of a contain­
erization fund but did not agree to the details with the Inter­
national Longshoremen’s Association. Agreements in Hampton
Roads and Philadelphia made no provision for a containerization
fund.
7 After the 1959 contracts were signed, the Federal Media­
tion and Conciliation Service maintained continuous liaison with
the parties in an effort to avoid a crisis in 1962. In January 1962,
Federal mediators met with top union and industry representa­
tives and suggested that bargaining get underway early. At that
time, both sides undertook studies in order to support their
positions on several key bargaining issues.
8 At no time did the union open negotiations on the con­
tainerization fund, although it had the right to do so under the
provisions of the November 22, 1960, arbitration award.

the Secretary o f Labor, to study manpower utilization,
job security, and related issues, and another to recom­
mend settlements on all other matters.
Negotiations resumed on December 26. When agree­
ment was not reached by January 16, the President
appointed a three-member special board to mediate the
dispute, and, if no contract settlement was reached by
January 20, to propose action to Congress. On Janu­
ary 20, the board presented its recommendations to the
parties and the union’s Atlantic Wage Scale Committee
accepted the board’s proposal. The NYSA accepted the
proposal 2 days later, and the union’s New York member­
ship ratified the agreement on January 23. Longshore­
men in other North Atlantic ports voted between Janu­
ary 24 and 26 to accept agreements embodying benefits
similar to those provided in the New York settlement.
The 39-day strike officially ended January 26 when the
New York port workers returned to their jobs. By
January 28, all North Atlantic ports had resumed
operations.
The 2-year contracts included a 15-cent-an-hour
general wage increase retroactive to October 1, 1962,
and a 9-cent increase effective October 1,1963. An addi­
tional paid holiday was to be observed beginning with
the second year o f the contract, bringing the total to
nine. After 25 years o f service vested pension rights
were established and pension, health and welfare con­
tributions were increased. Both parties agreed to a U.S.
Department o f Labor study o f manpower utilization and
job security, after which they were to bargain on dis­
puted issues in the light o f the findings. The parties were
to select an impartial board to make recommendations
for resolving any differences remaining on July 31,1964.
The parties also agreed to a study during the first con­
tract year to determine the feasibility o f providing more
comprehensive medical service with existing employer
contributions.

By late August, negotiations were concerned solely
with the size o f work gangs. At this stage, the employer’s
association was asking a reduction from the standard
20-man gangs to flexible ones ranging from 8 to 16
men. Throughout August, the union refused to discuss
the association’s other proposals until the question of
reduction o f gangs size was withdrawn.
On August 23, the Director o f the Federal Mediation
and Conciliation Service (FMCS) appointed a special
panel in an attempt to resolve the economic issues for
all east coast ports from Maine to Virginia. The New
York City Department o f Labor appointed representa­
tives to work with the panel. Negotiations resumed on
September 4, under the auspices o f the Federal Mediation
and Conciliation Service. One week later, the union
notified the Secretary o f Labor and the Governors of
New Jersey and New York that negotiations were dead­
locked and that a strike appeared likely. The next day,
September 12, both industry and union officials sent
telegrams to the President o f the United States alerting
him o f the impending strike.
On September 24, the FMCS proposed a 1-year exten­
sion o f the 1959 contract coupled with a recommen­
dation o f joint study o f the disputed manpower utili­
zation and job security issues. The NYSA agreed to the
proposal on the same day, stipulating, however, that any
issues that could not be agreed to by the parties after the
study were to be settled by arbitration. The proposal was
rejected by the union. When the contracts expired on
October 1, 1962, some 50,000 1LA members stopped
work at Atlantic and Gulf Coast ports.
Hours after the strike started, President Kennedy
appointed a three-member Board o f Inquiry to review
the issues and to report to him by October 4. The
board reported that the parties were deadlocked over the
issues o f gang size and that almost no progress had
been made toward an agreement. A 10-day Taft-Hartley
restraining order was issued October 4, and longshoremen
in all ports returned to work October 6. A permanent
injunction issued on October 10, for the full statutory
period o f 80 days deferred the stoppage until Decem­
ber 23.
Union members voted overwhelmingly on Decem­
ber 19, to reject the Shipping Association’s last contract
offer, which called for a reduction in the size o f work
gangs by one man a year during the following 3 years
and a total wage increase o f 27 cents an hour over a
3-year period.
On December 23, the injunction expired, and the
strike was resumed after the union had rejected a last
minute presidential request for a 90-day extension o f the
strike deadline, and a special study o f the disputed
issues by two committees— one, under the direction of




1964-67
Proposals for a new agreement were drafted at an
ILA conference convened in New York City on June 16,
1964. Delegates supported three major demands, a
guaranteed annual wage, return o f hiring halls to joint
union-management control from the Waterfront Com­
mission, and abolishment o f the register used for licensing
o f additional dockworkers.
On June 25, union negotiators formally presented
the demands to NYSA. Economic provisions in the
proposed 3-year agreement included wage increases o f
15 cents in the first year and 10 cents in the second and

parties then recessed for 2 weeks to allow the employers
time to study the proposals.

demands for retention of the standard 20-man work
gangs.
The Assistant Secretary o f Labor suggested in late
November that the parties agree on a 1-year contract
covering wages and wage related benefits, and con­
tinue negotiations on unresolved manpower issues.
Union negotiators accepted the proposal, but the
companies rejected it.
Four days before the expiration o f the 80-day in­
junction on December 20, the parties reached agree­
ment subject to a vote o f the ILA membership on
January 8, 1965. The 4-year contract was to provide
for wage increases o f 10 cents an hour retroactive to
October 1, 1964, 10 cents in 1965, and 8 cents in 1966
and 1967. Other improvements included the addition o f
3 paid holidays, 4 weeks’ vacation after 12 years’
service, increased company contributions to the health
and welfare and clinic funds, and liberalized pension
benefits. Of major importance was the agreement on re­
duction o f general cargo gang size from 20 men to 18
on April 1, 1966, and to 17 men on October 1, 1967,
and agreement on the establishment o f a guaranteed
work year to provide eligible workers with 1,600 hours
o f work or pay each year.
In the days that followed the expiration o f the TaftHartley injunction, sporadic walkouts took place at
several major ports. On January 8, 1965, the ILA
membership voted to reject the agreement reached in
late December and 3 days later went on strike for the

During the recess, the parties met with the Assistant
Secretary o f Labor for Labor-Management Relations to
receive the manpower utilization and job security study
o f the Port o f New York prepared by the U.S. Depart­
ment o f Labor as a result o f the settlement o f
January 1963. Similar reports were to be issued for all
major ports, the intention being to provide a useful tool
to assist the parties in resolving the work practices issue.
At the second negotiating session on July 7, company
representatives proposed that talks be based on the Labor
Department report, but union negotiators refused to
proceed until they received a counter-offer from the
employers. One week later, the employers presented a
counter-offer. The employers proposed a 5-year agree­
ment that included a wage reopener after the third year,
elimination o f royalty payments on containerized cargo,
and the formation o f a joint committee to study the
Labor Department report. The union agreed to a joint
committee study o f the Labor Department report.
Near the end o f July, the Secretary o f Labor selected
a three-man neutral board, as authorized by the Janu­
ary 1963 agreement between the parties to help resolve
issues in dispute. The board met with each party and held
joint sessions in the 2 months that followed. Size o f work
gangs was one o f the major issues; the union indicated it
might accept a reduction in gang size in return for a
guaranteed annual wage.

second time. ILA officials saw confusion and incom­
plete information among members as reasons for re­
jection o f the agreement. After a period o f informa­
tional meetings, a second vote was held on a port-by­
port basis. New York dockworkers accepted the con­
tract on January 28, 1965. The other major North
Atlantic ports returned to work by the end o f Feb­
ruary, subsequent to local negotiations which modi­
fied the agreement previously rejected.
The contracts were to remain in effect through
September 30, 1968.

In the third month o f negotiations, the NYSA pro­
posed that all unresolved issues be submitted to final
and binding arbitration but ILA members rejected that
proposal. The neutral board then presented its recom­
mendations to the parties. Included in the recommen­
dations were a phased reduction in the size o f work
gangs, a guaranteed annual wage plan, greater flexibil­
ity in the assignment o f work, and curtailment o f new
entrants into the longshore labor force.
On September 30, the last day o f the agreement, the
union served notices that it would not work without a
contract. Negotiations ceased and the President ap­
pointed a three-man Board o f Inquiry under the TaftHartley Act to investigate the situation. The next day
60,000 ILA members at Atlantic and Gulf Coast ports
went on strike. The President obtained a 10-day re­
straining order which was subsequently extended to an
80-day injunction to halt the strike. Work practices con­
stituted the major area o f disagreement; two o f the key
issues were employer demands for greater flexibility in
the assignment o f work to cargo checkers and union




1968-71
A 2-month longshore strike in the port o f New York,
the longest in its history, was ended on February 14,
1969, when members o f the International Longshore­
men’s Association (ILA) ratified a 3-year agreement
that had been reached tentatively about a month earlier
with the New York Shipping Association (NYSA). A
ratification vote was delayed pending ILA contract
settlements at other ports in an attempt to obtain uni­
formity o f collective bargaining agreements throughout
the North Atlantic district, but this tactic was enjoined

6

to finance these benefits at current levels. The NYSA
had proposed earlier that the ILA load and unload con­
tainers consolidated within the port area, but the union
rejected this offer fearing that container consolidating
operations would be opened outside of the port area.

by a Federal district court. The NYSA—ILA contract
set the pattern for Atlantic and Gulf Coast ports and
was a key factor in ending strikes which involved about
46,000 workers from Maine to Texas.
Bargaining had begun on July 10, 1968, when nego­
tiations to replace the contract expiring on September
30 were opened by the ILA and NYSA. The union pro­
posed a 2-year agreement, the provisions of which were
to apply uniformly to the five major North Atlantic
Coast ports. The uniform demands included the elimi­
nation o f simultaneous loading and unloading of containerships; granting o f exclusive rights to pack and
unpack containers away from piers, except those with
a manufacturer’s label; and the establishment o f 17-man
work gangs, the size o f gangs in New York. The demands
also included a total wage increase of $2.38 an hour
over the contract term, a 6-hour workday, a $125 in­
crease in the monthly pension benefit, a guaranteed
annual income o f 2,080 hours at straight-time rate,
and improved welfare benefits.
In previous contract talks, the NYSA had been au­
thorized to bargain for employers in New York, Balti­
more, Boston,9 Hampton Roads, and Philadelphia on
wages, hours, employer contributions to the welfare
and pension funds (but not the benefits to be provided
by the different welfare and pension plans), and the
length o f the contract. Settlement on these issues,
generally referred to as the master agreement, then
were incorporated into local agreements. Negotiations
on working conditions, holidays, vacations, and other
matters were conducted at the local level.
On August 7, the NYSA offered a 48-cent-an-hour
wage increase over the term o f a 4-year contract, and
stated that it was authorized to bargain only on pro­
visions o f the master agreement for the North Atlantic
district, and on a container provision for Baltimore.
Bargaining continued through September 20 on
wages, pensions, and a guaranteed income. Little head­
way was made on any of the issues, and the Executive
Board of the ILA voted to strike on October 1, if agree­
ment was not reached by September 30. The President
o f the United States, on September 24, directed the
Under Secretary o f Labor to assist in mediating the
dispute.
On September 26, the international president o f the
ILA stated that the employers, represented by the
NYSA, either had to agree to let the union load and
unload containers or had to pay a royalty that was
adequate to finance a pension and welfare plan con­
sidered satisfactory by the union. Because o f the con­
siderable savings in man-hours possible with container
ships, the union maintained that hourly pension and
welfare contributions would have to be much higher




With a strike imminent, the President o f the United
States declared on September 30, that a stoppage would
imperil the national health and safety, and he appointed
a three-member Board o f Inquiry under the provisions of
the Labor Management Relations Act. This marked the
seventh time that Atlantic Coast Longshoremen were
involved in a “national emergency” dispute. Last minute
efforts to avoid a strike failed and workers in New York
began leaving their jobs before the September 30 mid­
night deadline.
On October 1, about 46,000 longshoremen in At­
lantic and Gulf Coast ports were on strike, and the
Board of Inquiry met in New York with employer and
union representatives. The board reported to the Presi­
dent that there were “. . . two overriding issues, and the
failure to resolve these has prevented the parties from
reaching agreement on other items.” The two issues
were unionwide collective bargaining and the problems
o f containerization. The President then requested that
the Attorney General seek to end the strike, and a
temporary restraining order was obtained from the
U.S. District Court for the Southern District o f New
York. October 9 was the date set for a hearing on a
Taft-Hartley Injunction.
Longshoremen returned to work at all ports on Oc­
tober 3 and on October 9, the restraining order was ex­
tended. An injunction was obtained on October 16 to
be effective until 7:05 p.m., December 20.
Negotiations were reopened on October 30 with
ILA demands for uniform basic containerization, and
job security provisions for all Atlantic and Gulf Coast
ports. The NYSA, speaking for New York employers,
previously had made an offer o f a 2,080-hour guaranteed
annual income, but employers at other ports said that
they could not afford such an offer. On November 1, the
NYSA proposed a 3-year package estimated at $1.01 an
hour over the contract term for wages, and liberalized
pension and welfare benefits, as well as an improved in­
come guarantee, but the ILA later stated disapproval of
the offer. The union was dissatisfied with the failure to
negotiate a single North Atlantic district agreement,
the size o f the money package, and the retirement
provisions.
The Board o f Inquiry reported to the President on
November 30 that the positions o f the parties had not

changed since its first report, and that none o f the
issues had been resolved.
Talks continued in mid-December after the union
membership rejected the NYSA’s November 1 offer
in a ballot conducted by the National Labor Relations
Board. A tentative oral agreement reportedly was
reached for the North Atlantic district providing about
a $1.60-an-hour wage and benefit package 10 increase
over 3 years, the right to pack and unpack containers
with cargoes consolidated within 50 miles o f New York,
and a guaranteed annual income of 2,080 hours. The
union rejected this offer, however, primarily because the
container provision did not prevent freight forwarders in
other ports from shipping through New York, thereby
causing a decrease in employment in these ports. Phila­
delphia and Boston longshoremen representatives also
stated their disapproval of a provision that would end
a policy of “one port down, all ports down.”
Negotiations centering on containerization and sup­
plemental benefit provisions continued. Employers in
the ports o f Philadelphia and Boston would not offer
the same provisions as New York, Baltimore, and Hamp­
ton Roads, contending that improved supplemental
benefits would have to be paid for by increased pro­
ductivity through automation.11
On December 20, the talks ended without agree­
ment, and the strike by some 46,000 workers was re­
sumed when the injunction expired.
A day later, employers in Philadelphia and Boston
stated that they could commit their support to only a
part o f the total money package offered by the NYSA,
and that the NYSA and ILA were overstepping their
authority. Employers in Baltimore indicated that they
would be forced to reject a contract if other employer
associations were to do the same.
Talks were reopened in New York on Decem­
ber 23, and the ILA demanded that the master agree­
ment specify that a reasonable guaranteed annual in­
come be negotiated in other ports. A day later, the
Boston Shipping Association notified mediators that it
would negotiate only a local contract.
After failure o f the NYSA and ILA to reach agree­
ment on the jurisdiction o f the ILA in stripping and
loading o f containers and hiring practices under the
guaranteed income plan, the NYSA appealed to the
President on January 8 to refer the dock strike to
Congress as provided for under the Taft-Hartley Act.
A major breakthrough in bargaining occurred on
January 10, when top labor and management officials
reached agreement on the container clause, and hiring
practices under the guaranteed income plan. Several
days later, the total contract was reviewed by all New
York parties and ILA approval was given to the new




container clause, which protected local ports from the
threat of losing work to New York.
On January 14, tentative agreement was reached on
a 3-year agreement for the Port o f New York, but rati­
fication by the workers was deferred pending settle­
ment at other ports. Terms o f the pact included a general
wage increase retroactive to October 1, 1968, of 38
cents an hour and deferred increases of 25 cents in
1969 and 35 cents in 1970; an additional paid holiday in
1970 and eased eligibility requirements for holidays; and
fifth and sixth weeks o f vacation in 1968 and 1969, re­
spectively. Pension improvements included an increased
basic benefit of $300 a month; a $25-a-month increase
in the basic benefit for those already retired; allowance
for early retirement if the employee elected to retire
within one o f two option periods at $250 a month at
age 55 and 20 years o f service, the amount to be in­
creased to $300 at age 62; and an increase in the dis­
ability benefit to $180 a month plus $12 a month for
each year o f service over 15, up to a maximum total
benefit of $300. Pensions for widows were increased
and employer contributions to the pension and health and
welfare plans were to be increased in three stages. In
addition, the guaranteed annual income plan was im­
proved to provide a minimum of 2,080 hours’ pay.
Travel pay was eliminated for those hired in the industry
after September 30,1968.
Bargaining was continued for other ports and the
ILA demanded the full New York package for Phila­
delphia. Employers in Philadelphia agreed to the same
wage increases, and pension and health and welfare bene­
fit contributions as in New York, but objected to the
increased vacation costs and guaranteed annual income
plan.
On January 23, the union was warned by the NYSA
that it might be in violation of the Taft-Hartley Act by
not submitting the New York contract to the workers
for a vote. At this time, employers in Philadelphia
offered three contract packages, but these were de­
clined by the union.
Agreement on holiday and vacation benefits was
reached in Baltimore on January 26, but the union
turned down a guaranteed annual income o f 1,800
hours. Settlement was reached in Hampton Roads
several days later on a guaranteed income.
Members o f the NYSA agreed on February 4 to with­
draw their unratified contract if longshoremen did not

ber 1,1969, in Baltimore, and 1,600 and 1,700 hours’
pay in Hampton Roads effective October 1, 1969 and
1970, respectively. (The guarantee was new to Balti­
more and Hampton Roads.) Longshoremen returned
to work shortly after ratification in each case.
A late agreement was reached in Boston on April 2,
1969, where employers demanded concession in work
rules in exchange for higher wages, benefits, guaranteed
annual wage, and a container clause. The Boston con­
tract also was similar to the one for New York and
included the guaranteed wage of 2,080 hours’ pay.
Work was resumed on April 2 .12

o f the contracts.

return to work. In the meantime, negotiators in Phila­
delphia agreed on wage and most supplementary issues,
and container provisions, but agreement could not be
reached on eligibility for a fifth and sixth week of vaca­
tion and work schedules.
In an attempt to get the New York contract ratified,
the NYSA filed an unfair labor practice suit against the
ILA on February 7. The National Labor Relations Board
then petitioned the U.S. District Court for the Southern
District of* New York to order longshoremen back to
work in the Port o f New York. The court denied the
request, however, and instead ordered the ILA to hold
an election by February 14. New York longshoremen
ratified the contract on February 14, and returned to
work the following day.
Settlements were ratified by the workers for the
ports o f Baltimore and Hampton Roads on Febru­
ary 21, and for Philadelphia 2 days later. The pacts
were similar to the NYSA—ILA agreement, except for
the amount allowed under the guaranteed annual in­
come plan, that they did not allow for the early retire­
ment newly-established in New York, and other modi­
fications. The minimum income was set at 1,800 hours’

Wage Chronologies
The following wage chronologies are currently being maintained. Bulletins or reports for which a price is indi­
cated are available from the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C.,
20402, or from the Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics regional sales offices which are listed on the
inside back cover. (Order by check or money order; do not send cash or stamps.) Those publications for which no
price is indicated are not available from the Superintendent of Documents, but may be obtained without charge,
as long as a supply is available, from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Washington, D.C. 20212, or from the Bureau’s
regional offices. Items indicated as out of print may be available for reference in leading public, college, or uni­
versity libraries, or the Bureau’s regional offices.
Before July 1965, basic wage chronologies and their supplements were published in the Monthly Labor Re­
view and released as Bureau reports. Wage chronologies published later are available only in bulletins (and their
supplements). A summary of general wage changes and new or changed working practices will be added to the bul­
letins as new contracts are negotiated.
