This chronology describes the ma jor changes in wage rates and supplementary compen sation practices put into effect since 1934 for “long shoremen” in the ports of New York, Baltimore, Bos ton, Hampton Roads, and Philadelphia. It deals with provisions of General Cargo agreements covering long shoremen, negotiated by the International Longshore men’s Association (ILA) and the employer associations in the five major North Atlantic Coast ports. Long shoremen generally are defined as those engaged in moving all cargoes (including ships’ stores, mail, and baggage) from the vessel to the first place of rest on the dock or to the vessel from the last place of rest and in physically receiving and delivering cargoes on the piers and in terminals.1 Because of port requirements, jurisdictional considerations, and tradition, duties of longshoremen may vary slightly from port to port.2 Other categories of workers engaged in ancillary long shore work are not covered by this chronology, such as cargo repairmen, checkers, clerks, general mainte nance workers, mechanical and miscellaneous workers, marine carpenters, and port watchmen; they are not covered in the General Cargo agreements. Provisions shown for Guaranteed Annual Income (GAI), pension, and health and welfare benefits are applicable uniform ly among all categories of workers in a given port, ex cept for port watchmen, who are not represented by the ILA. er from sailor to teamster. The union’s leadership con tinued organizing crafts not directly related to long shore work, and by 1905, claimed to have 100,000 mem bers; half of them on the Great Lakes and the rest scat tered around the country. The AFL ordered the union to drop “Marine and Transport Workers” from its title and halt its industrial-type organizing. In 1908, the un ion reluctantly complied and readopted its previous name. Later that same year, a new administration took control of the union which then represented more than 40 crafts, and eliminated from the union those crafts furthest removed from longshore work and embarked on an organizing policy more in line with AFL thinking. In 1908, the union established, after a number of un successful attempts, a local in the Port of New York— the Nation’s largest port—and won jurisdictional control there by 1914. Locals in Hampton Roads and Baltimore had been established before 1908, and the union dominated these ports by 1917. The union quick ly gained jurisdiction over longshore workers in Bos ton after establishing a local there in 1912. Philadelphia longshore workers were won over to the ILA in 1926 after a prolonged struggle with a rival group. By 1914, the ILA had become the Nation’s dominant longshore union on all coasts, including the Great Lakes. Jurisdictional control, however, did not mean that the union had become a strong bargaining power. Many workers were still unorganized and any improvements in compensation were largely the result of unilateral employer actions. The union’s influence grew rapidly largely because employers tended to accept the ILA as an opposing force to more radical influences and in 1914, the war produced a greater demand for longshore workers.3 United States entry into the war further strengthened the union’s position due to the govern ment’s concern for unimpeded shipping operations. A tripartite National Adjustment Commission was estab lished to deal with wartime manpower needs. In 1918, The union, the ILA dates back to 1877 when a small longshoremen’s local was established in Chicago. It ex panded rapidly by recruiting workers in major Great Lakes ports and small shore towns. In 1892, delegates from 11 Great Lakes ports held a longshore convention in Detroit and established the National Longshoremen’s Association of the United States. A year later, it affil iated with the American Federation of Labor (AFL). The union was renamed the International Longshore men’s Association in 1895 after chartering some Cana dian locals. The ILA launched a campaign of organizing various categories of maritime workers on the Great Lakes, in addition to longshore workers—a policy contrary to the craft-oriented philosophy of the AFL. The union again changed its name, in 1902, to the International Longshoremen, Marine and Transport Workers’ Asso ciation of North and South America and the Island Possessions—a title encompassing every type of work 1The term “longshoreman” is derived from “alongshoreman” which evolved from calls in colonial times for “men along the shore” to help load and unload ships. For an informative history o f work on the docks in the United States, see Men Along the Shore, by Maud Russell (N ew York, Brussel & Brussel, Inc., 1966). 2For example, longshoremen in the Port o f N ew York handle lines to dock and undock vessels, but a separate category o f workers called “line handlers” perform this function in the Port o f Boston. 3See Levinson, Rehmus, Goldberg, and Kahn, Collective Bargaining and Technological Change in American Transportation (Transportation Center at Northwestern University, 1971). 1 the ILA sought a uniform wage scale over broad geo graphic districts to meet government requirements for shifting workers among ports. The Commission accept ed the proposal and established uniform rates for each of three districts—North Atlantic, South Atlantic, and Gulf. During the recession after the war, the ILA was able to maintain its recognition in North Atlantic ports through concessions, but elsewhere, the union’s strength was sharply reduced, even to the point of a return to employer determination of wages and working condi tions. During the depression beginning in 1929, the ILA maintained wage rates in North Atlantic ports by giv ing in on work rules. The union regained its strength in South Atlantic and Gulf ports in the 1930’s due to government legislation promoting union organization and representation. After 1934, radical influences again assisted the conservative ILA in maintaining and im proving its dealings with East Coast employers. In 1937, however, about 35,000 Pacific Coast dockworkers broke away from the ILA and affiliated with the newly formed Committee for Industrial Organiza tion (renamed the Congress of Industrial Organizations, CIO, in 1938) and obtained a charter as the Interna tional Longshoremen’s and Warehousemen’s Union (ILWU).4This left the ILA with a membership of about 62,000 workers. In August 1953, the ILA was suspended from the AFL after unfavorable publicity regarding scandals within the union, and the AFL formed a new union to supplant the ILA—the International Brotherhood of Longshoremen (IBL). The ILA eventually defeated at tempts by the IBL during the 1950’s to gain control of dockworkers. The ILA made formal application in Jan uary 1959 to rejoin the AFL-CIO (merged in Decem ber 1955). In August 1959, a committee of labor lead ers recommended that the ILA be readmitted. This rec ommendation was the final blow to the IBL, which held its last convention in October and voted to merge with the ILA. The IBL’s leader later was made presi dent of the ILA’s Great Lakes District. The ILA currently represents about 77,000 workers along the waterfronts of the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts, Great Lakes, and Puerto Rico. Its members perform work done directly and indirectly in connection with the loading and unloading of vessels, encompassing op erations that are located on vessels, on docks, or in ma rine warehouses. The five major ports covered by this chronology, plus all other ports north of Cape Hatteras (North Carolina) through Canada, constitute a district of the union for the North Atlantic. Other districts cov er workers on the South Atlantic and Gulf Coasts (in cluding Puerto Rico), the Great Lakes and their tribu taries on both sides of the border, and workers in sev eral locals in the State of Washington. Each district deals with matters and conditions affecting the locals and their members within the confines of the district. The decisions of the district organizations, however, are subject to review by the ILA’s Executive Council which is composed of the union’s international officers and representatives from the districts. Employers' associations. Cooperation among employ ers in each port dates back to the early 1900’s. There are records at the New York Shipping Association (NYSA) indicating agreements with union labor in the' port on hourly wages dating back to 1916. The em ployers initially functioned through informal commit tees of ocean carriers and stevedores in dealings with labor which, essentially, was represented by the ILA. A more formal employer structure developed in the wake of Federal legislation in the 1930’s which estab lished the right of workers to negotiate collectively with employers. Today, employer organizations in each port repre sent ocean carriers, contracting stevedores, marine ter minal operators, and other employers engaged in the movement o f passengers and ocean freight requiring waterfront labor represented by the ILA. Associations covered by this chronology are the New York Ship ping Association, Inc., Steamship Trade Association of Baltimore, Inc., Philadelphia Marine Trade Association, Hampton Roads Shipping Association, and Boston Ship ping Association, Inc. On behalf of their memberships, the associations negotiate the terms of labor contracts and arrange for the collection and administration of funds (both unilaterally and in conjunction with the ILA) covering contracted benefits for union workers. Bargaining pattern. A pattern of uniform bargaining has developed over the years in contract negotiations between the ILA and employers in the major North Atlantic Coast ports. New York, the largest seaport in the nation, has played a leading role in employer-union relations, particularly in the North Atlantic area. Be fore 1957, the terms of agreements negotiated by the NYSA and the Port of New York ILA locals general ly were adopted by employer associations and union locals in ports from Maine to Virginia, and also set the pattern for negotiations in South Atlantic and Gulf Coast ports. Although Boston had no written agree ment from 1935 to 1950, the terms under which em ployees worked were the same or substantially similar to those in other ports. The union practice before 1957 was to take the New York contract and attempt to achieve the same conditions in all of the other ports. 4 The National Labor Relations Board certified the ILW U as the exclusive representative o f Pacific Coast longshore workers in 1938. Exceptions were made for longshore workers in the Puget Sound ports o f Tacoma, Anacortes, and Port Angeles and checkers and foremen in Seattle (longshoremen in Seattle were represented by the ILW U) where ILA rights continud to be recognized. Most o f these workers, however, subsequently joined the ILWU. 2 Although similar agreements were reached, the results of piecemeal negotiations were confusion, bitterness, and recurring strikes throughout ports from Maine to Texas. In an attempt to reduce these difficulties, the NYSA was authorized in 1957 by employer associations in Bal timore, Boston, Hampton Roads, and Philadelphia to negotiate on their behalf on five contract items. In 1957, the NYSA and ILA first signed an agreement that pro vided uniform basic wages, hours of work, length of contract, and employer contributions to the local health and welfare and pension plans (but not the benefits) for the five ports. Settlement of these items became known as the “master agreement.’’ Bargaining for the ILA on these items was and is conducted by a committee com posed of officers of the International including repre sentatives from each port. The committee is headed by the union’s President. Each port, however, has negoti ated separate agreements between the management as sociation and union bargaining committee for that port on such issues as holidays, vacations, working condi tions, and other local issues. Master agreement terms are incorporated into the local agreements. Union bar gaining goals are framed at meetings held prior to ne gotiations by International officials and union officials from each port for master contract items and by local officials for local issues. These goals are submitted to the union membership for approval. The establishment of the master agreement, howev er, proved to be of little help in avoiding strikes. There also was dissatisfaction with master contract terms ne gotiated by the NYSA and ILA among employers in other North Atlantic ports. This led to efforts by em ployers to unify negotiations among the North Atlan tic ports or to at least include all of the North Atlantic port associations in negotiations that the NYSA had been conducting on their behalf. The efforts were successful in 1971 when the Coun cil of North Atlantic Shipping Associations (CONASA) was established to bargain on the master contract items for employers in the ports previously under the master agreement, and also Providence, Rhode Island. CONASA encountered opposition from the ILA be cause, initially, it refused the union demand to expand the number of items in the master contract. Negotia tions in the summer of 1971 also were complicated by the wage-price freeze ordered by President Nixon and a dispute between the NYSA and New York locals of the ILA over continuing the existing program of Guar anteed Annual Income (GAI) in the Port of New York. As a result, North Atlantic ports were struck by the ILA on October 1, 1971, as were South Atlantic and Gulf Coast ports as far west as the Mississippi River. Ports in west Louisiana and Texas covered by the West Gulf Maritime Association were not struck. Between October 1 and November 26, 1971, negoti ations produced no resolution of the dispute and a Taft- Hartley court injunction was obtained by the Federal Government when the strike was 56 days old. The ILA agreed to bringing in CONASA as a bargaining agent when CONASA agreed to extend the master contract items to cover rules for containerization and for ocean going barge vessels, referred to as LASH (lighter abroad ship). The parties continued to negotiate while work was resumed in all of the ports, and in February 1972, the first master contract was reached between CONASA and the ILA. On October 22, 1977, however, the NYSA announced its resignation from CONASA, basically because of dis agreement between NYSA members and employers in other ports over how to respond to an ILA demand for job security in the 1977 negotiations. The dispute stemmed from a 1975 decision by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) which held that the Rules on Containers (a master contract item) in the Port of New York violated Federal labor law. The rules were designed to prevent the escape of con tainer-handling work from the docks to inland ware houses that did not use ILA labor. The NLRB’s deci sion was upheld in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. This paved the way for challenges in other ports. Subsequent NLRB rulings affected the rules in Baltimore and Hampton Roads. Since the introduction of highly efficient cargo han dling techniques in the 1950’s, mainly involving con tainerization—shipping freight in standardized, easy-tohandle boxes—the conflict between job security and economic efficiency has been the dominant factor in longshore labor relations. The ILA reluctantly accept ed the containerization concept but insisted that the consolidation of small shipments into a single contain er (stuffing) and also deconsolidation (stripping) be per formed by ILA labor. Factors such as decentralized bargaining, a large surplus labor force, and interport variations in dock facilities and trade composition com plicated attempts to reach a coastwide approach to technological change. Over the years, however, a com plex system of rules on containers involving jurisdic tion, penalties, etc. resulted from trade-offs between la bor and management. As compensation for loss of work, Guaranteed Annual Income (GAI) programs were es tablished in the last half of the 1960’s in the five major North Atlantic Coast ports on a port-by-port basis which guaranteed eligible workers a specified number of hours of pay per year, varying by port, at an em ployee’s straight-time rate. A major part of the ILA’s contract with management was negated by the 1975 NLRB ruling and the union in turn demanded a new form of job security in the 1977 round of bargaining unless the rules on containers could be reinstated legally. A proposal surfaced to es tablish a coastwise GAI “feeder” fund which prompt ed employer associations outside New York to demand that GAI not be discussed in any way in master con3 provided a financial backup in the event of a shortfall in the GAI, pension, and welfare funds. If a carrier moved from port to port, it continued to pay into the same (JSP) fund which helped stabilize GAI, pension, and welfare funds. A master contract, agreed to by the ILA and North Atlantic Coast employers on Novem ber 13, 1977, permitted the ILA to refuse to handle ships or cargoes of ocean carriers which did not sub scribe to JSP. The legal situation with respect to Rules on Contain ers was clouded in 1979, when the U.S. Court of Ap peals for the District of Columbia Circuit overturned NLRB rulings which had invalidated container rules affecting the ports of New York, Baltimore, and Hamp ton Roads. The case was remanded to the NLRB for any further action it deemed appropriate. tract talks since it was not a master contract item. Fund ing costs for GAI varied from port to port, being high est in New York, and employer associations outside New York preferred to fund their programs independ ently. New York’s high GAI benefits coupled with loss of work due to that port’s high level of container op erations accounted for the higher costs. Since other em ployer associations refused to discuss GAI in master contract talks, the NYSA voted to resign from CONASA on 30 days’ notice as provided by CONASA by-laws in order to allow itself greater freedom to ne gotiate on the demand for job security by the ILA. The NYSA announced, however, that it would not act on the resignation and would continue to negotiate joint ly with other CONASA members beyond the 30-day period as long as prospects for a settlement of the dis pute over job security remained, and this position held for more than 60 days. On October 1, 1977, when the previous port agree ments expired, ILA members along the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts began a partial strike directed against containerships and other forms of automated vessels. The NYSA announced its resignation from CONASA on October 22, after other CONASA members refused to be parties to a job security offer made to the union by ocean carriers. The NYSA and CONASA resolved their differences over job security several weeks later, but the NYSA remained independent. The resolution of the job security dispute involved the establishment of a Job Security Program (JSP) for ports from Maine to Texas subscribed to by individual employer associ ations outside their normal agreements with the ILA. JSP involved only ocean carriers and the union and Method o f pay. Longshoremen are paid a basic rate and receive 8 hours’pay at their straight-time (basic) hourly rate of pay for a normal day. Penalty premiums for handling specified cargoes (usually because they are dangerous, onerous, or uncomfortable to handle) are applied to the basic rate of pay. In some ports, skill premiums now exist which also are added to basic rates. In earlier years, nonsupervisory longshoremen in most of the ports received the same rate of pay regardless of the function performed. When penalty differentials or skill differentials (where applicable), or both, are paid, the overtime rate is one and one-half the basic rate and differential(s). Some differentials may vary from port to port. As mentioned earlier, guaranteed annual in come plans provide employees with minimum amounts of pay. 4 Summary of Contract Negotiations October 1934-September 1951 the union factions. Findings of the Board included a statement that “the collective (New York) agreement was validly ratified and should remain in full force and effect.” Further, the Board recommended the continu ation of the present system of having the entire Atlan tic Coast District vote on the Port of New York agree ment. The Regional Wage Stabilization Board approved the contract on January 10, 1952. The terms of the agreements negotiated since 1934 by the New York Shipping Association (NYSA) and the New York locals of the International Longshore men’s Association (ILA) generally were adopted by employers and union locals in the major North Atlan tic Coast ports. Each port, however, maintained its own bargaining committees, which negotiated separate agreements. In Boston, there was no written agreement from 1935 to 1950, but terms under which men worked were the same or substantially similar to those in other ports. During the October 1934-September 1951 period, workers received 11 general wage increases, paid va cations were established and improved, and pension plans were established in each port. Improvements also were made in call-in pay and in premium pay for work on Saturday and during mealtime. 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, 1950. The pension agreements were to continue in effect for 5 years. October 1952-September 1953 The 2-year agreement between the ILA-AFL and the NYSA was reopened in August 1952 for discussions on general wage changes and other matters. When the parties were unable to reach agreement, the matter was referred to arbitration. 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 gen eral 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 of 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 of the changes that had been awaiting WSB action. There upon, the increase was put into effect in the New York Harbor area as well as in the North Atlantic Coast ports which followed the New York pattern. October 1951-September 1952 Negotiations for a new contract to replace the agree ment scheduled to expire September 30, 1951, were be gun early in that month by the NYSA and the ILA. Although the contract expired before negotiations were completed, it was extended to prevent interruption in dock operations. By October 8, 1951, the Union Wage Scale Commit tee for the Atlantic Coast District and representatives of the NYSA (comprised of about 175 operators) had reached agreement on the terms of a 2-year contract to be effective as of October 1, 1951. The new contract provided for one wage reopening, in September 1952. Ratification by the union membership was voted on October 11. As in previous years, the New York agree ment established a pattern that was accepted by oper ators and local unions from Portland, Maine, to Hamp ton Roads, Virginia. Subsequently, dissident local groups challenged the validity of the contract, and the ensuing work stoppage led to the appointment of a New York State Board of Inquiry to investigate the claims and counterclaims of October 1953-September 1962 For the ILA, this period was one of uncertainty, characterized by the regulation of hiring activities by the bistate Waterfront Commission of New York Har bor, strikes, legal actions, and representation elections. Collective bargaining, particularly with the NYSA, was influenced by developments ordinarily outside the scope of industrial relations. The period was also highlighted by expulsion of the union from the AFL in 1953, con ditional reaffiliation with the merged American Feder ation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO) in 1959, and unconditional affiliation with the AFL-CIO in January 1961. In the fall of 1953, when the existing agreement was scheduled to terminate, a representation challenge by the newly chartered AFL International Brotherhood 5 of Longshoremen and other problems made negotia tions in the New York area impossible. However, ne gotiations proceeded in the other North Atlantic Coast ports, and by early 1954, new 1-year agreements had been reached in Baltimore, Boston, Hampton Roads, and Philadelphia5. 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 25, 1954, negotiations for a new 2-year agreement were concluded by the NYSA, the other port stevedoring associations, and the ILA. The tenta tive agreement, retroactive to October 1, 1954, provid ed for a 17-cent-an-hour package, the union shop, vir tual elimination of the shapeup,6 a no-strike no-lockout clause, and grievance and arbitration machinery. The agreement was rejected by the union membership on December 10, primarily because of 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 guar antee that existing port practices would remain un changed. The agreement was ratified by the members, on January 5, 1955, and signed on February 24, 1955. The major deterrent to agreement in the 1956 nego tiations was the union’s insistence on a master contract for all Atlantic and Gulf Coast ports. Earlier agree ments had been on a port-by-port basis, with the New York contract setting the pattern. After prolonged ne gotiations and two contract extensions, some 60,000 longshoremen, in ports from Portland, Maine, to Brownsville, Texas, went on strike November 16 to protest the employers’ refusal to agree to an industry wide contract. The national emergency provisions of the Labor Management Relations Act were invoked, and 6 days after the strike began, a Board of Inquiry was appointed. The November 24 report of the threeman 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 re straining order, later extended to the full 80-day statu tory period and modified to provide that any negoti ated increases in wages, pensions, and welfare contri butions would be retroactive to October 1. In mid-De cember 1956, the same court, at the request of the Na tional Labor Relations Board (NLRB), issued a tempo rary injunction barring the union from industrywide bargaining for Gulf and Atlantic Coast ports. With the expiration of the 80-day injunction on February 12, 5Settlement was also reached at a number o f smaller ports not cov ered by this chronology. 6With the establishment o f the Waterfront Commission o f New York Harbor by concurrent action o f the N ew York and N ew Jer sey legislatures in 1953, the longstanding “shape” system for hiring longshoremen was modified. The need for reform was dramatically pointed up by the findings o f a special committee appointed by the Governor o f N ew York on the misuse o f hiring authority. The “shape” continued to be used in other North Atlantic Coast ports except Baltimore. Although the commission’s responsibility was limited to the elimination o f unsavory practices in the port area, the accomplish ment o f this objective required some regulation o f the individual workers and o f hiring practices. Many o f the problems in the area ex isted only because o f the large excess o f workers over available jobs. The commission’s approach to the problem was to require registration o f all longshoremen and to refuse certification to individuals with serious criminal records or with only irregular attachment to the in dustry. In 1953, after the initial registration and some reduction in the available labor force, the commission established a prevalidation hir ing system. Under this system, employers were required to submit ad vance lists o f permanent workers needed for a week and to inform the commission o f 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 o f employment. This applied to both the weekly and daily lists. Under the commission’s rules, the list o f permanent employees could be extend ed 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 employ ment offices. By permitting hiring agents and others to expand the lists until ex cessive numbers o f men were eligible for jobs, the employers largely invalidated the advantages o f the system. A somewhat different approach, designed to rectify the deficiences o f the prevalidation method, was instituted by the commission in 1955. Regulations issued by the commission required stevedores to certify the names o f 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 o f each month, stevedores removed from their lists the names o f workers who had not been hired regularly. Regular gangs not employed at their own pier, extra gangs, apd casuals were hired for fill-in work through the commission’s employment centers. Despite these measures, primary responsibility for fair employment procedures rested on the representatives o f labor and management. A measure o f this responsibility was met by the negotiation o f a quasiseniority system in 1955 that implemented the commission’s regula tions. Gangs or individuals who were attached to a particular pier or who received preferred employment 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 o f 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. 6 19577, the strike resumed in Middle and North Atlantic ports; settlements had been reached in southern ports. Five days later, the NYSA and the ILA signed an agreement providing that all ports from Maine to Vir ginia would have uniform wages, hours, and employer contributions to the welfare and pension funds. The contract, which was to run to September 30, 1959, in creased 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 of the new agreement, local negotiations were to deal with working conditions, va cations, holidays, and welfare and pension benefits. In the negotiation for this agreement, the NYSA acted for the industry under authorizations from the associations in the other North Atlantic ports. Late in 1958, a dispute arose between the NYSA and the ILA, when union members refused to handle con tainers 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 shipper-loaded con tainers handled by companies not using this system pri or to October 1,1956. A temporary solution was reached when the NYSA assured the arbitrator that no loss of jobs would result from the use of the containers during the term of 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 con templated such operations. Since it was evident that the stevedoring industry was changing, the parties also agreed on the need to direct the course of automation and containerization in the port so as to increase productivity without materi ally depressing the economic status of the longshore men. In addition, future expansion of 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 of jobs and earning power of its members, as well as its indirect effect on the pension and welfare funds. The NYSA agreed in principle that regular employees should be given some indemnification for loss of job opportunities because of containerization but demanded unrestricted use of con tainers and the sole right to determine the size of 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 con tract due to expire September 30, 1959, began on Au gust 10. With the approach of the expiration day, it be came evident that a work stoppage was imminent. In attempts to forestall a strike, the Secretary of Labor, the Governor of New York, and the Mayor of New York City each requested the parties to continue nego tiations. On September 30, the ILA and NYSA agreed to a 15-day contract extension with the understanding that adjustments in wage rates and contributions to the welfare and pension funds would be retroactive to Oc tober 1. On October 1, Gulf Coast ports were struck when employers refused to agree to retroactivity; later in the day, the walkout spread to the entire Atlantic Coast. Some 70,000 workers were affected. Six days later, a Taft-Hartley Board of Inquiry was appointed by the President of the United States. On October 7, the board reported that the unresolved is sues were “wage rates, procedures for installing me chanical devices and effecting containerization, gang size, and certain fringe benefits, including pension, health and welfare.” The following day, on application of the NLRB, a Federal district court issued a tempo rary order restraining 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 containeriza tion which the union labeled inadequate. By November 4, the union had proposed royalty payments on con tainers and the NYSA had restated its earlier proposal for a 25-cent-a-ton payment on containerized cargo loaded off the doqks. Coupled with this, shippers wanted the right to regulate the size of gangs. Both offers were rejected. On December 10, the ILA and the NYSA agreed on a 3-year contract covering North Atlantic Coast ports. It provided a 46-cent-an-hour package over the con tract period, with rates for handling general cargo in creased 12 cents an hour, retroactive to October 1, 1959, and 5 cents more on October 1 of 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 of 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 of penalty payments for shipments loaded or unloaded off the pier. It was agreed that the question of these penalty payments would be submitted to arbitration if the parties could not settle the problem. In August 1960, when negotiations failed to produce agreement, the issue was submitted to a board of arbi tration consisting of one member each representing la bor and management and an impartial chairman. The board, on November 22, I960, handed down an award that would indemnify ILA members for loss of work resulting from the movement of containerized cargo 7 After extended legal proceedings, the NLRB on Jan. 15, 1961, or dered the case closed. 7 through the Port of New York. The award required employers to pay into a jointly administered fund a royalty for each ton of containerized cargo shipped, with tha amount ranging from 35 cents to $1 per gross ton, depending on the proportion of ship capacity fit ted for vans or containers. Payments into the fund were made retroactive to July 1, 1960, and were to continue for the duration of the existing collective bargaining agreement, with the provision that either party could seek adjustments on October 1, 1961. The method of distributing the fund among the work force was to be agreed upon by the parties. Although the award cov ered only the New York Shipping Association, all oth er associations and locals were urged to study the award because of its effect on waterfront operations.8 and the Governors of New Jersey and New York that negotiations were deadlocked and that a strike appeared likely. The next day, September 12, both industry and union officials sent telegrams to the President of the United States alerting him of the impending strike. On September 24, the FMCS proposed a 1-year ex tension of the 1959 contract coupled with a recommen dation of joint study of the disputed manpower utiliza tion 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 ILA members stopped work at Atlantic and Gulf Coast ports. Hours after the strike started, President Kennedy ap pointed a three-member Board of Inquiry to review the issues and to report to him by October 4. The board reported that the parties were deadlocked over the is sue of gang size and that almost no progress had been made toward an agreement. A 10-day Taft-Hartley re straining order was issued October 4, and longshore men in all ports returned to work October 6. A perma nent injunction issued on October 10, for the full stat utory period of 80 days deferred the stoppage until De cember 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 of work gangs by one man a year during the following 3 years and a total wage increase of 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 of the strike deadline, and a special study of the disputed issues by two committee—one, under the direction of the Secretary of 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 ap pointed a three-member special board to mediate the dispute, and, if no contract settlement was reached by October 1962-September 1964 Bargaining positions of the ILA Atlantic Wage Scale Committee and the NYSA were established when ne gotiating sessions opened on June 13,1962.9The NYSA had been authorized to represent the employers in oth er North Atlantic Coast ports during these negotiations on the five points covered by the master agreement. On June 13, the union demands included a key propo sal to reduce the workday from 8 to 6 hours with no loss in pay. Other demands were for annual wage re openers, increases in pensions from $85 to $125 a month, and an additional $2 an hour for all longshoremen who moved cargoes on pallets.10The total proposed increase in wages and benefits was estimated by the union at 50 cents an hour over a 2-year period. On June 16, the association presented its counterpro posals, including a wage increase of 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 reduc tion in the size of gangs working general cargo. On August 1, the association revised its wage offer to include three 9-cent-an-hour wage increases to be effective on September 30 of 1963, 1964, and 1965. The proposal was rejected by union negotiators. By late Au gust, negotiations were concerned solely with the size of work gangs. At this stage, the employers’ 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 of gang size was withdrawn. On August 23, the Director of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service (FMCS) appointed a special panel in an attempt to resolve the economic issues from all East Coast ports from Maine to Virginia. The New York City Department of Labor appointed representa tives to work with the panel. Negotiations resumed on September 4, under the auspices of the FMCS. One week later, the union notified the Secretary of Labor 8 Management in Boston and Baltimore accepted the principle o f a containerization fund but did not agree on the details with the ILA. Agreements in Hampton Roads and Philadelphia made no provisions for a containerization fund. ’ After the 1959 contracts were signed, the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service maintained continuous liaison with the parties in an effort to avoid a crisis in 1962. In Jan. 1962, Federal mediators met with top union and industry representatives 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. 10At no time did the union open negotiations on the containeriza tion fund, although it had the right to do so under the provisions o f the Nov. 22, 1960, arbitration award. 8 January 20, to propose action to Congress. On January 20, the board presented its recommendations to the par ties, 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 mem bership ratified the agreement on January 23. Long shoremen in other North Atlantic ports voted between January 24 and 26 to accept agreements embodying benefits similar to those provided in the New York set tlement. The 39-day strike, the longest in the history of the North Atlantic longshore industry, 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 gen eral 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 of the contract, bringing the total to nine. After 25 years of service, vested pension rights were established and pension, health and welfare con tributions were increased. Both parties agreed to a U.S. Department of Labor study of manpower utilization and job security, after which they were to bargain on disputed issues in the light of the findings. The parties were to select an impartial board to make recommen dations for resolving any differences remaining on July 31, 1964. The parties also agreed to a study during the first contract year to determine the feasibility of pro viding more comprehensive medical service with exist ing employer contributions. to assist the parties in resolving the work practices issue. At the second negotiating session on July 7, compa ny representatives proposed that talks be based on the Labor Department report, but union negotiators refused to proceed until they received a counteroffer from the employers. One week later, the employers presented a counteroffer of a 5-year agreement that included a wage reopener after the third year, elimination of royalty payments on containerized cargo, and the formation of a joint committee to study the Labor Department re port. The union agreed to a joint committee study of the Labor Department report. Near the end of July, the Secretary of Labor select ed a three-man neutral board, as authorized by the Jan uary 1963 agreement between the parties, to help re solve issues in dispute. The board met with each party and held joint sessions in the 2 months that followed. Size of work gangs was one of the major issues; the union indicated it might accept a reduction in gang size in return for a guaranteed annual wage. In the third month of 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 the parties with its recommendations including a phased reduction in the size of work gangs, a guaranteed annual wage plan, greater flexibility in the assignment of work, and curtailment of new entrants into the longshore labor force. On September 30, the last day of the agreement, the union served notices that it would not work without a contract. Negotiations ceased and the President appoint ed a three-man Board of Inquiry under the Taft-Hartley 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 restraining, order which was subsequently extended to an 80-day injunction to halt the the strike. Work practices consti tuted the major area of disagreement; two of the key issues were employer demands for greater flexibility in the assignment of work to cargo checkers and union demands for retention of the standard 20-man gangs. The Assistant Secretary of Labor suggested in late November that the parties agree on a 1-year contract covering wages and wage-related benefits and contin ue negotiations on unresolved manpower issues. Union negotiators accepted the proposal, but the companies rejected it. Four days before the expiration of the 80-day injunc tion on December 20, the NYSA and ILA reached agreement subject to a vote of the ILA membership on January 8, 1965. The 4-year contract was to provide for wage increases of 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 of 3 paid holidays, 4 weeks’ vacation after 12 years’ serv ice, increased company contributions to the health and October 1964-September 1968 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 of hiring halls to joint union-management control from the Waterfront Com mission, and abolishment of the register used for licens ing of additionsl dockworkers. On June 25, union negotiators formally presented the demands to the NYSA. Economic provisions in the proposed 3-year agreement included wage increases of 15 cents in the first year and 10 cents in the second and third years, three additional paid holidays, increased vacation time, a guaranteed 8-hour day for 9 hours’ pay, liberalized pension benefits, and increased employ er contributions to provide improved health benefits. The parties then recessed for 2 weeks to allow the em ployers time to study the proposals. During the recess, the parties met with the Assistant Secretary of Labor for Labor-Management Relations to receive the manpower utilization and job security study of the Port of New York prepared by the U.S. Department of Labor as a result of the settlement of January 1963. Similar reports were to be issued for all major ports, the intention being to provide a useful tool 9 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 of the contract. Settlement on these issues, gen erally referred to as the master agreement, then were incorporated into local agreements. Negotiations on working conditions, holidays, vacations, and other mat ters were conducted at the local level. On August 7, the NYSA offered a 48-cent-an-hour wage increase over the term of a 4-year contract and stated that it was authorized to bargain only on provi sions of 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 of the United States, on September 24, directed the Un der Secretary of Labor to assist in mediating the dispute. On September 26, the international president of 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 ad equate to finance a pension and welfare plan considered satisfactory by the union. Because of the considerable savings in man-hours possible with containerships, the union maintained that hourly pension and welfare con tributions would have to be much higher to finance these benefits at current levels. The NYSA had pro posed earlier that the ILA load and unload containers consolidated within the port area, but the union rejected this offer fearing that container consolidating operations would be opened outside of the port area. With a strike imminent, the President of the United States declared on September 30, that a stoppage would imperil the national health and safety, and he appoint ed a three-member Board of Inquiry under the provi sions of the Labor Management Relations Act. This marked the seventh time that Atlantic Coast longshore men were involved in a “national emergency” dispute. Last minute efforts to avoid a strike failed, and work ers in New York began leaving their jobs before the September 30 midnight deadline. On October 1, about 46,000 longshoremen in Atlan tic 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 President that there were “...two overriding issues, and the fail ure to resolve these has prevented the parties from reaching agreement on other items.” The two issues were unionwide collective bargaining and the problems of containerization. The President then requested that the Attorney General seek to end the strike, and a tem porary restraining order was obtained from the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. welfare and clinic funds, and liberalized pension bene fits. Of major importance was the agreement on reduc tion of 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 of a guaranteed work year to provide eligible workers with 1,600 hours of work or pay each year. In the days that followed the expiration of the TaftHartley injunction, sporadic walkouts took place at sev eral major ports. On January 8, 1965, the ILA mem bership voted to reject the agreement reached in late December and 3 days later went on strike for the sec ond time. ILA officials saw confusion and incomplete information among members as reasons for rejection of the agreement. After a period of informational meet ings, a second vote was held on a port-by-port basis. New York dockworkers accepted the contract on Jan uary 28, 1965. The other major North Atlantic ports resumed operations by the end of February, subsequent to local negotiations which modified the agreement pre viously rejected. The contracts were to remain in effect through Sep tember 30, 1968. October 1968-September 1971 A 2-month longshore strike in the Port of New York, the longest in its history, was ended on February 14, 1969, when members of the ILA ratified a 3-year agree ment that had been reached tentatively about a month earlier with the NYSA. A ratification vote was delayed pending ILA contract settlements at other ports in an attempt to obtain uniformity of collective bargaining agreements throughout the North Atlantic district, but this tactic was enjoined 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 began on July 10, 1968, when negotiations to replace the contract expiring on September 30 were opened by the ILA and NYSA. The union proposed a 2-year agreement, the provisions of which were to ap ply uniformly to the five major North Atlantic Coast ports. The uniform demands included the elimination of simultaneous loading and unloading of containerships; granting of exclusive rights to pack and unpack containers away from piers, except those with a man ufacturer’s label; and the establishment of 17-man work gangs, the size of 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 an nual income of 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,11 Hampton Roads, and Philadelphia on 11A written agreement had not been signed in Boston since 1959. 10 would be forced to reject a contract if other employer associations were to do the same. Talks were reopened in New York on December 23, and the ILA demanded that the master agreement spec ify that a reasonable guaranteed annual income be ne gotiated in other ports. A day later, the Boston Ship ping Association notified mediators that it would nego tiate only a local contract. After failure of the NYSA and ILA to reach agree ment on the jurisdiction of the ILA in stripping and loading of containers and hiring practices under the guaranteed income plan, the NYSA appealed to the President on January 8 to refer the dock strike to Con gress as provided for under the Taft-Hartley Act. A major breakthrough in bargaining occurred on Jan uary 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 of New York, but rat ification by the workers was deferred pending settle ment at other ports. Terms of the pact included a gen eral 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 of vacation in 1968 and 1969, respectively. Pension improvements included an in creased 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 1 of 2 option periods at $250 a month at age 55 and 20 years of 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 hour’ pay. Trav el 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 October 9 was the date set for a hearing on a TaftHartley injunction. Longshoremen returned to work at all ports on Oc tober 3, and on October 9, the restraining order was extended. 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 se curity provisions for all Atlantic and Gulf Coast ports. The NYSA, speaking for New York employers, previ ously had made an offer of a 2,080-hour guaranteed an nual 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 liberal ized pension and welfare benefits, as well as an im proved income guarantee, but the ILA disapproved the offer. The union was dissatisfied with the failure to ne gotiate a single North Atlantic district agreement, the size of the money package, and the retirement provisions. The Board of Inquiry reported to the President on November 30 that the positions of the parties had not changed since its first report, and that none of the is sues 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 NLRB. A tentative oral agree ment reportedly was reached for the North Atlantic district providing about a $1.60-an-hour wage and benefit package12 increase over 3 years, the right to pack and unpack containers with cargoes consolidated with in 50 miles of New York, and a guaranteed annual in come of 2,080 hours. The union rejected this offer, however, primarily because the container provision did not prevent freight forwarders in other ports from ship ping through New York, thereby causing a decrease in employment in these ports. Philadelphia and Boston longshoremen representatives also stated their disap proval 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 of Philadelphia and Boston would not offer the same provisions as New York, Baltimore, and Hamp ton Roads, contending that improved supplemental ben efits would have to be paid for by increased produc tivity through automation.13 On December 20, the talks ended without agreement, and the strike by some 46,000 workers was resumed when the injunction expired. A day later, employers in Philadelphia and Boston stated that they could commit their support to only a part of the total money package offered by the NYSA, and that the NYSA and ILA were overstepping their authority. Employers in Baltimore indicated that they 12This was the figure for N ew York which included an amount re quired to grant additional holiday and vacation benefits. Since terms o f holidays and vacations were negotiated locally, the package amounts would vary by port. 13Container facilities were established in Apr. 1969 in Philadelphia when full container ships began using port facilities. 11 October 1971-September 1974 wage increases and pension and health and welfare ben efit 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 of fered three contract packages, but these were declined 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 of 1,800 hours. Set tlement was reached in Hampton Roads several days later on a guaranteed income. Members of the NYSA agreed on February 4 to with draw their unratified contract if longshoremen did not 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 va cation 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 NLRB then petitioned the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York to order longshoremen back to work in the Port of 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 con tract on February 14 and returned to work the follow ing day. Settlements were ratified by the workers for the ports of Baltimore and Hampton Roads on February 21, and for Philadelphia 2 days later. The pacts were similar to the NYSA—ILA agreement, except for the amount al lowed under the guaranteed annual income plan, that they did not allow for the early retirement newly-es tablished in New York, and other modifications. The minimum income was set at 1,800 hours’ pay effective April 1, 1969, in Philadelphia and October 1, 1969, in Baltimore, and 1,600 and 1,700 hours’ pay in Hampton Roads effective October 1, 1969, and 1970, respective ly. (The guarantee was new to Baltimore 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 concessions in work rules in exchange for higher wages, benefits, guaran teed annual wage, and a container clause. The Boston contract also was similar to the one for New York and included the guaranteed wage of 2,080 hours’ pay. Work was resumed on April 2.14 The contracts were scheduled to remain in effect through September 30, 1971. Bargaining goals for new contract talks for North Atlantic and also South Atlantic and Gulf ports were approved by representatives of all port ILA locals at a National Wage Scale Conference held in Washington, D.C., in May 1971. A list of tentative demands previ ously had been circulated to the union membership, management, government, and other interested parties. The approved demands, while calling for substantial wage and benefit improvements, emphasized job secu rity and income maintenance to ease the impact of re duced work opportunities due to the increasing mech anization of freight handling. The union also expressed hope that some progress could be made towards its continuing goal of establishing a national agreement covering all ports from Maine to Texas, and extending to Puerto Rico and, eventually, the Great Lakes. During the ILA’s convention in Miami Beach in midJuly, ILA President Gleason said that money issues would not prevent an early settlement if job security items could be agreed to. This concern over declining work opportunities was voiced against a backdrop of similar problems on the West Coast which had led to a strike by 15,000 members of the International Long shoremen’s and Warehousemen’s Union (ILWU) after the July 1 expiration of their coastwise pact-15 Talks for a new master agreement for the ports of Baltimore, Boston, Hampton Roads, New York, and Philadelphia began in mid-August. In addition, for the first time, Providence longshore workers were to be brought under the master contract.16 A new employer group, the Council of North Atlantic Shipping Associ ations (CONASA), was established in 1970 to bargain for management in the six ports on items such as wages, hours, length of contract, containerization, LASH (lighter aboard ship), and employer contributions to the welfare and pension plans (but not welfare and pension benefits).17 Both parties had expressed a desire that lo cal bargaining on holidays, vacations, working condi tions, and other local issues be completed swiftly to al low a peaceful settlement. 14See U.S. Department o f Labor, Bureau o f Labor Statistics, N a tional Emergency Disputes, Bulletin 1633 (1969), for a more detailed account o f the issues that resulted in work stoppages in Atlantic and Gulf Coast ports and efforts made by the parties and Federal officials to resolve these disputes. 15See Wage Chronology: Pacific Maritime Association and Internation al Longshoremen's and Warehousemen's Union, 1934-78, BLS Bulletin 1960 (1977), for difficulties encountered in negotiating an agreement covering longshore workers on the West Coast as well as for terms o f the resulting 1972 settlement. 16This chronology, however, relates specifically to the five ports previously covered by the master agreement. 17The NY SA previously had been authorized to bargain for the other four North Atlantic District ports (not Providence) on these master contract items (except container rules) after which such terms were incorporated into local agreements. 12 The start of local talks was delayed by the ILA’s in sistence that the guaranteed annual income plan (GAI) be considered as an item under the master agreement, while the CONASA wanted it to continue to be nego tiated locally. Management, in turn, wanted the union to end its policy of “one port down, all ports down” in the case of local disputes over local issues, including the GAI. The parties did not press these demands fur ther and local bargaining began in early September. As the September 30 expiration date neared, ILA President Gleason told delegates to meetings of the At lantic Coast District Wage Scale Committee in New York City that the union’s members should continue working until after the end of the Federal Government’s 90-day wage-price-rent freeze (in effect since August 15) if the steamship carriers would agree to extend the agreements until after the freeze. The NYSA, howev er, refused a contract extension because it would have meant continuance of the GAI plan which employers considered too expensive. Specifically, the NYSA wanted the plan modified so that longshore workers who repeatedly refused work would be made ineligible for guarantee benefits. After refusal of the NYSA to extend the pact, the ILA ordered its members to strike. The strike began in New York on October 1 and quickly spread to other ports from Maine to Texas and to the Great Lakes; 45,000 longshore workers were in volved, 28,000 in CONASA ports. This strike, com bined with the West Coast walkout, created the first coast-to-coast longshore strike in the Nation’s history. The tie-up prompted President Nixon to seek injunc tions to end the West Coast and Great Lakes disputes, the latter on the grounds that it would have an untime ly effect on grain shipments.11 It was hoped that the East and Gulf Coast disputes could be resolved through collective bargaining since they were less than a week old at the time the requests for injunctive relief were made. A five-member Board of Inquiry, appointed on October 4 by the President under authority of the TaftHartley Act, had recommended this course of action. A temporary restraining order was obtained on Oc tober 6 to halt the ILWU strike pending hearings on the full 80-day injunction, which was subsequently ob tained, to expire December 25.19 An injunction to end the Great Lakes walkout was denied. East and Gulf Coast longshore workers also were enjoined on No vember 26 from striking under a Taft-Hartley injunc tion which would expire on February 14, 1972. On January 6, tentative agreement on a new 3-year master contract was reached between the ILA, its At lantic Coast District, and CONASA which became the pattern for South Atlantic and Gulf ports. The pact was subject to approval by the Pay Board under Phase II of the Federal economic stabilization program, and would be retroactive to November 14, 1971, with a 70cent-an-hour general wage increase on that date and deferred increases of 40 cents each in both 1972 and 1973. Over the term of the pact, employer contributions would be increased for the pension and welfare plans by 47 cents and 30.5 cents an hour, respectively. A sec ond container royalty of 35 cents, 70 cents, or $1 per ton of container cargo (depending upon the proportion of ship capacity fitted for vans or containers) was es tablished to finance pension and welfare benefits (as de termined locally) other than supplemental cash pay ments. This royalty was in the same amounts as the ex isting container royalty. Shippers who violated terms of the container provisions would be assessed a fine of $1,000 per container (was $250). Tentative agreement for about 17,500 workers was reached on local issues by the ILA and NYSA on Feb ruary 3. A key element in this pact was the revision of eligibility requirements for GAI benefits so that those who repeatedly refused work would ultimately be dis qualified for such benefits. The annual pledge to the GAI fund was reduced, but trustees of the fund would be allowed to borrow from banks to cover any short fall in funds required for GAI payments. A guarantee of $2 million a year towards supplemental income pay ments was to be paid by management into the Royalty Fund in lieu of travel pay. Pensions were improved by increasing the basic ben efit to $400 and the disability benefit to $240 plus $16 for each year of service over 15 (to a combined maxi mum of $400). Benefits for those already receiving pen sions also were increased. The pact also provided for a “one-shot” early retirement pension for eligible work ers who applied for such retirement by a specified date. This early retirement was expected to reduce what em ployers considered an excessive number of longshore workers in relation to the amount of work available. In addition to the pension and welfare contributions set by the ILA-CONASA master agreement, the second container royalty was to be allocated to the pension fund in the second and third contract years and to the welfare and clinic funds in the first year. The NYSA-ILA Fringe Benefits Escrow Fund was established, into which all assessments would be depos ited for welfare and clinics, GAI, $2 million in lieu of travel time, and vacation and holiday payments. This was a “feeder” fund without legal status and was to be liquidated at the end of each benefit year. Pension con tributions would be deposited directly into the NYSAILA Pension Trust Fund. To maintain the current lev el of benefits, a special work-hour/tonnage assessment (less any container royalties collected) was to be put “The President had indicated earlier that the need for an injunction would be questionable as long as the strike was confined to the West Coast. 19 The ILWU and Pacific Maritime Association later agreed to a contract extension until Jan. 17 at which time their strike resumed. An agreement for these workers was ratified in mid-Feb., and they returned to work. 13 into the Fringe Benefits Escrow Fund to be allocated as needed, except that portion of the assessment marked as pension contributions. A formal agreement would not be signed for New York, however, until negotiations could be completed for the other five CONASA ports, where the major is sue was the GAI. With the approaching expiration of the Taft-Hartley injunction, ILA President Gleason an nounced that the union would agree to continue work ing until March 14 under extension of the old contracts. A March 8, ratification vote was held for all Atlan tic and Gulf Coast ports. New York, Boston, and Hamp ton Roads longshore workers ratified their pacts but workers in Philadelphia and Baltimore rejected theirs, chiefly because of dissatisfaction over the local GAI levels. Local issues were resolved in Baltimore on March 15 just before a strike deadline, but workers were off the job the next day until 7 p.m. for a union briefing on settlement terms. In Philadelphia, a 2-week strike that began March 15 ended with the March 29 ratification of an agreement reached March 24. In Baltimore, the GAI was increased to 1,900 hours per contract year with payments to be made quarterly in the first contract year and twice a month beginning in the second contract year. In Hampton Roads, GAI was to be paid biweekly beginning in 1971 and was to be increased to 1,800 hours effective August 1972. In Philadelphia, the GAI payments were to be made monthly beginning October 1972. During the term of the agreements (November 14, 1971, through September 30, 1974), basic and disability pensions were increased in Baltimore (for those meet ing qualifications established April 1, 1969), Hampton Roads, and Philadelphia, to the same amounts as agreed to in New York (increases were smaller for basic and disability benefits in Baltimore for those who retired with the qualifications in effect before April 1969), and spouses’ benefits also were increased. For these ports, various increases were made in benefits for those al ready receiving pensions. Additionally, in Baltimore ef fective January 1, 1973, early retirement would allow a benefit of either $350 a month until age 62 and $400 thereafter, or $300 for life, depending upon which set of age and service requirements was met. On May 8, the Pay Board pared the first-year wage increase for the 45,000 Atlantic and Gulf Coast long shore workers by 15 cents an hour, to 55 cents. Ap proval of a second-year increase was conditional upon implementation of work rules that resulted in higher productivity. Labor and management then requested reconsideration of the Board’s May 8 decision, assert ing that the savings resulting from increased produc tivity would allow the increase without violating the Pay Board’s guidelines of 5.5 percent. This appeal, how ever, was rejected on June 6. ILA President Gleason, and CONASA and NYSA President Dickman, on June 26, 1972, requested ap proval of the CONASA-ILA agreement, also dated June 26, 1972, which was modified to comply with the earlier Pay Board objections. The parties agreed to modify the first-year wage adjustment to 55 cents an hour; the second-year adjustment was kept at 40 cents. It was subsequently agreed that the retroactive pay ments would be paid in a lump sum. In mid-May 1974, following expiration of Federal wage-price controls on April 30, the ILA and CONASA agreed to a wage increase of 15 cents an hour, to be effective June 1, 1974. This increase was the same amount cut by the Pay Board in 1972. Rules on containers. During the 1971 contract negoti ations, the ILA had been very much concerned with adopting methods which would assure compliance with the Rules on Containers. The rules, which were first codified in the NYSA-ILA collective bargaining agree ment in 1968, had been developing since 1958. The rules basically provided that: (A) ILA longshoremen shall have the right to stuff and strip, at the piers and terminals, containers made up of goods of more than one shipper (LTL or con tainer loads) which come from or go to points within 50 miles of a port, to or from persons who are not the beneficial owners of the cargo, and (B) All other containers shall be moved without re striction, i.e., all containers which come or go to a point more than 50 miles from a port or which contain the goods of one shipper who is the beneficial owner of the cargo may come on to the docks and go off the docks without being stuffed or stripped by ILA longshoremen.20 In the 1971 negotiations, the NYSA rules were adopt ed as the CONASA-ILA Rules on Containers with some modifications. Even after the agreement was signed, however, the ILA continued to protest that the rules were being violated because of the growing num ber of off-pier consolidators who were taking away, traditional ILA work. The ILA took the position that all of these contract violations would cease if the car riers would not supply their containers to the consoli dators, and in November 1972, the ILA took the firm position that supplying containers to consolidators was a violation of the contract. The CONASA-ILA Committee on Containers met in Dublin, Ireland, in January 1973, to discuss propo sals for the enforcement of the Rules on Containers. The resulting document—Interpretive Bulletin No. 1, known as the “Dublin Rules’’—was adopted. The par ties agreed that the Dublin Rules were the means nec essary to prevent violations of the contract. The contracts were scheduled to remain in effect through September 30, 1974. 20 Containers consisting entirely o f U.S. mail, household furniture, or military effects and containers loaded by a producer’s own em ployees were exempted. 14 of $450. Pensions were increased by $25 a month for those who retired before October 1, 1974. Discussions in other North Atlantic ports continued. In Baltimore and Hampton Roads, workers sought 2,080 hours’ guaranteed annual pay. In Boston, workers sought to continue a GAI of 2,080 hours; employers wanted the GAI structured so that payments would be reduced if the funding level, based on a tonnage con tributions, fell below a certain amount. Employers also wanted greater control of work assignments. In a ratification vote held August 21, workers in North Atlantic ports ratified their contracts, except Bal timore and Boston where the GAI remained at issue. Baltimore workers ratified their pact about 2 weeks later. In Baltimore and Hampton Roads, the existing GAI levels were continued. All of the approved agree ments added Christmas Eve as a paid holiday. Employ ers in Boston still were reluctant to meet the union’s GAI demand because there reportedly were as many pensioners as workers, and therefore, all container roy alties had to be allocated to pension financing. In Boston, when agreement on the GAI could not be reached by a strike deadline there of May 30, 1975, workers went on strike. The walkout ended a month later when workers approved, on June 29, an agree ment which provided for a GAI of 1,500 hours’ pay.21 The pact also allowed shippers to schedule around-theclock container terminal operations with shifts begin ning as late as 11 p.m. Funding of the GAI was “openended” in that a fixed royalty was not set, but rather enough sums per long ton (2,240 pounds) sufficient to keep the fund solvent. As indicated earlier, management had wanted the GAI structured so that payments would be reduced if the funding level, based on tonnage con tributions, fell below a certain amount, while the union wanted the GAI maintained regardless of the tonnage handled. During the contracts’ term, pensions were increased in Philadelphia to the same amounts as for New York and were also improved in Hampton Roads and Bos ton. Baltimore pensions were to be increased substan tially in 1976. October 1974-September 1977 On June 21, 1974, agreement was reached on a 3-year master contract between CONASA employers and the ILA. This settlement enabled parties in the various ports to concentrate bargaining on local issues. The CONASA-ILA pact covered about 25,000 workers and became the nucleus for bargaining for another 15,000 workers in South Atlantic and Gulf Coast ports. Bargaining for the master contract had begun on March 27, 1974, well in advance of the contract expi ration date of September 30. It was hoped that an ear ly agreement on master contract items would allow am ple time for negotiating local settlements before the ex piration date. The union sought a 1-year pact which would raise the basic wage rate to $8 an hour and es tablish a cost-of-living escalator clause. Contributions to the welfare and pension funds would be increased. A major union concern was job security. The union said that 16,000 ILA jobs had been lost over the last 6 years due to increased use of laborsaving methods of freight handling, primarily containerization, and it sought to tighten work rules on handling container and other types of cargo loading operations as well, to help offset this trend. Terms of the master agreement provided for increases in the basic wage rate of 70 cents an hour on October 1, 1974, 60 cents on October 1, 1975, and 60 cents Oc tober 1, 1976, bringing the rate to $8 an hour. Employ ers’ contributions to the welfare and pension funds were increased over the life of the contract by 33 and 49 cents per hour worked, respectively. The Rules on Con tainers were expanded and spelled out in greater detail. A tentative agreement on local issues for the Port of New York’s 14,000 workers was reached on July 10. Shippers had sought a cut in the guaranteed annual in come (GAI) because of its high cost, which shippers said was diverting cargo to other ports and areas. Over 700 employees reportedly were regularly receiving GAI benefits. Although the 2,080 hours’ GAI was main tained, changes were made to reduce the cost. One such innovation was a lump-sum payment to induce GAI-eligible workers who were age 65 as of October 1, 1974, and eligible for a pension to retire. This same opportu nity was offered to workers eligible for the GAI who were age 65 as of October 1, 1975, and also eligible for a pension at this time. In both cases, if such individuals did not retire, they would no longer be eligible for GAI payments. In addition, disqualification for GAI benefits would be swifter for those who did not make them selves available for work or refused work. Christmas Eve was added as a paid holiday. For new retirees, the regular pension benefit was increased to $450, $475, or $500 a month, for 25, 30, and 35 years of service, respectively, and the disability benefit was increased to $270 for 15 years of service plus $18 for each year of service over 15 to a combined maximum Rules on containers. The ILA announced on March 26, 1975, that it wanted to reopen negotiations on the Rules on Containers which were a crucial part of the 6-month-old CONASA-ILA agreement, as permitted by Rule 8 of the container rules, because of continuing “violations” by some containership operators. Of key concern to the union was the diversion of cargo from North Atlantic Coast ports by the increasing use of 21 The new guarantee was to apply to all workers who were paid for 700 hours in the 1973-74 contract year, although subsequent de cisions on an individual basis extended G A I eligibility to some other t workers. 15 stuffing and stripping, thus bypassing ILA longshore workers. An Administrative Law Judge of the NLRB found that the ILA had a valid work preservation ob ject, and therefore, there was no violation of the Na tional Labor Relations Act as charged. Upon appeal to the NLRB, however, this decision was reversed, and both the NYSA and the ILA were ordered to cease and desist from maintaining the rules in their agree ments with respect to all off-pier facilities. The NLRB’s decision was affirmed and ordered en forced by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit on June 29, 1976. A petition for a rehearing by the full court (en banc) was denied on August 6, 1976. The NYSA and the ILA then filed a petition for a writ of certiorari seeking review by the Supreme Court of the United States, on October 22, 1976. There were several other similar or related charges pending before regional offices of the NLRB in various stages of ad ministrative and judicial processing or litigation. The ILA and CONASA later agreed to review their master agreement with the key intention of revising portions of the pact relating to the container work rules that were upset by the NLRB decision and court rul ing.23 A joint statement issued by the parties on August 20 declared that “both sides have worked too hard for stability and peace to let it be undermined by uncer tainties created by the court decision,” and that the pact should be renegotiated. Such negotiations began on August 24 and an “ad dendum” to the master agreement, designed to stimu late work and job opportunities, was announced on Oc tober 6, 1976. The addendum built upon provisions of an interim agreement to channel more cargo to the docks and to provide surveys and other data to gauge the impact of the court ruling on longshore workers. A legal remedy would, however, still be pursued through the Supreme Court. The addendum called on employers to encourage movement of “all mini-bridge LTL (less-than-trailerload) container cargo through waterfront facilities in each CONASA port” and use workers covered by CONASA-ILA agreements for work “which histori cally and regularly has been and currently is performed by workers covered by CONASA-ILA agreements.” “mini-bridge.”22 The increasing use of mini-bridge car go movements employed by some CONASA containership operators and the impact of the recession com bined to reduce tonnage in all the North Atlantic ports. The rules included provisions relating to the over land movement of containers from a CONASA port zone (a 50-mile radius extending from the geographic center of the port) to a non-CONASA port for the pur pose of evading container rules, and a penalty was as sessed for such an evasion. The union contended that the use of mini-bridge by some CONASA members was an effort to circumvent container rules in violation of the agreement. In addition, the ILA and CONASA had placed the mini-bridge issue before the Federal Mari time Commission, arguing that the practice violated several sections of the Shipping Act, but an initial de cision was not expected until summer or fall of 1976. Negotiations on container rules were reopened but, because of lack of progress, the union unilaterally sus pended container rules of the 1974 contract as was its right under Rule 8. In April, the union implemented a policy of stuffing and stripping all containers destined for or originating within a 50-mile radius of the port unless a manufacturer’s label was displayed (indicating the container was loaded by employees of the producer). The 2-month dispute over work rules between the ILA and CONASA ended in June when the parties agreed to set up a Council of Container Carriers which would bring CONASA members into more direct con tact with the ILA to “head off trouble before it erupts.” The Council was to assist in all matters related to ne gotiation, interpretation, and administration of the Rules on Containers. There were also legal developments affecting the Rules on Containers provision of the agreement. Cer tain companies had been performing consolidation work (i.e., containerizing less-than-full containers, also known as stuffing) and deconsolidation (also known as strip ping) of loads not coming from or to manufacturers or single consignees at off-pier facilities within a 50-mile radius of New York (defined as the jurisdictional zone by the CONASA-ILA pact) using empty containers supplied by some NYSA members. The CONASA-ILA Rules—incorporated into the NYSA agreement—pro vided that this was ILA work. In mid-1973, charges were filed by two off-pier con solidating companies with the NLRB. These charges were confined to New York. Similar challenges to con tainer work rules were pending in other ports. The charges alleged that (1) the rules violated the “hot car go” provisions of Section 8(e) of the National Labor Relations Act, and (2) the ILA was engaging in a sec ondary boycott against the consolidating companies. Their immediate complaint was directed to the Dublin Rules that prohibited the vessel carriers from furnish ing their containers to off-pier container stations for 22’’Mini-bridge” is a method by which container cargoes originat ing in the Orient for ultimate destination to East and Midwest loca tions, which historically were transported by sea from the Orient for discharge at East Coast ports, are now discharged instead at West Coast ports and then transported by truck or rail to East and Mid west locations. “Mini-bridge” also involves the converse method by which container cargoes destined for the Orient, and historically shipped from East Coast ports, are transported by truck or rail from East and Midwest locations to West Coast ports instead, for ultimate transport by sea to the Orient. 23 The legal test o f the container work rules was applied to the Port o f N ew York, but the outcome could affect other ports covered by the master agreement. 16 act on the resignation as long as prospects for settle ment remained. Negotiations for a master contract continued sporad ically, without success, and were broken off on Sep tember 27 after failure to reach agreement on job secu rity. On October 1, the union initiated a limited strike against containerships and LASH cargoes in ports from Maine to Texas. Some container operations also were affected on the Pacific Coast where dockworkers re presented by the International Longshoremen’s and Warehousemen’s Union respected lines of pickets sent by the ILA. The NYSA finally announced its resignation from CONASA on October 22, when other CONASA mem bers refused to be part of a Job Security Program offer made by ocean carriers. Under the program, ocean car riers would pay into a coastwise pool to assure local GAI, pension, and welfare benefits. CONASA mem bers outside of New York felt that uniform contribu tion rates would lead to uniform GAI benefits and to a competitive disadvantage to their ports. The two man agement factions attempted to negotiate separately with little success. Several weeks later, NYSA and a restruc tured CONASA organization resolved differences over a contract proposal, which included the job security offer, and a master contract covering about 35,000 work ers was reached with the ILA on November 13 and signed on the 18th. The NYSA, however, continued to function as an independent association. This settlement paved the way for agreements on local issues in the North Atlantic ports and also for agreements covering another 15,000 ILA-represented workers in South At lantic and Gulf ports. The CONASA-ILA and NYSA-ILA settlement pro vided for a 3-year pact with an increase in the basic wage rate of 80 cents an hour retroactive to June 1, 1977, and 80-cent deferred increases on October 1 of 1978 and 1979. Pension and welfare contributions were increased by 54 and 37 cents an hour, respectively, over the life of the contract. Integral to settlement of the master contract, but not part of it, was the establish ment of the Job Security Program (JSP) to fund any shortfalls in local GAI, pension, and welfare funds. The JSP Agency, Inc., was created to administer the JSP contract. The JSP was a separate document from those normally existing between the ILA and employ er organizations in that it involved only ocean carriers and the ILA. An eighth . item was added to the CONASA-ILA and NYSA-ILA master contract per mitting the ILA to refuse to load and unload ships of any carrier refusing to subscribe to the JSP. The ocean The minimum size of a container gang on a ship was set at 18 workers. The parties also agreed to encourage the development of a single collective bargaining agree ment for master contract items for all ports from Maine to Texas and begin formal negotiations to replace the existing master pact by April 1, 1977. The agreements were scheduled to expire September 30, 1977. October 1977-September 1980 A 2-month strike aimed at containerized cargo in ports from Maine to Texas was ended after members of the ILA ratified agreements with various associa tions of ocean carriers, stevedoring companies, and ter minal operators along the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts on November 29, 1977. Dockworkers had continued to load and unload conventional ships, except for brief pe riods in Baltimore and New Orleans when all shipping was struck. The dispute stemmed from the 1975 NLRB decision which negated Rules on Containers in the Port of New York. A similar work stoppage had been called in April of 1977 against seven major domestic and foreign containership lines to protest the NLRB ruling and attract the Carter administration’s attention.24Although the le gal test was applied to New York, later NLRB rulings affected the rules in Baltimore and Hampton Roads (and subsequently in Philadelphia in 1979). In talks which began in June 1977, as a condition for a new master agreement with CONASA, the union em phasized and demanded a new form of job security, unless the Rules on Containers could be reinstated le gally. The existing pact was scheduled to expire at 12:01 a.m. on October 1. Initially, the union had sought a coastwise Guaranteed Annual Income (GAI) plan as an eighth master contract item,25 instead of having it negotiated locally, but this demand later was revised to one for a new form of job security. A management ne gotiator stated that “The issue is containerization and the consolidation of cargo. Everything hangs on that.” In an attempt to respond to the ILA job security de mand, in August, a proposal surfaced to establish a coastwise feeder fund for locally-negotiated GAI plans, although never formally demanded by the union or of fered by CONASA negotiators. This proposal found favor with the NYSA. Because GAI was not a master contract item and benefits and costs varied from port to port, being highest in the Port of New York, CONASA members outside of New York demanded that GAI not be discussed in any way in master con tract talks. The NYSA subsequently tendered notice of resigna tion from CONASA on 30-days’ notice, as provided for by CONASA bylaws, in order to have greater free dom to negotiate the job security demand. The NYSA also announced, however, that it would continue to ne gotiate jointly with other CONASA members and not 24The 5-day “selective strike” ended when the U.S. Department of Labor agreed to ask the NLRB for a “clarification” o f its 1975 ruling. 25The existing seven master contract items were wages, hours, length o f contract, containerization, LASH (lighter aboard ship), and em ployer contributions to pension and welfare plans (but not pension and welfare benefits). 17 carriers were to be assessed specified amounts per long ton (2,240 pounds) of cargo handled, varying accord ing to the type of cargo (automated, etc.), and the as sessments were to be uniform from port to port. The money would be placed into a common pool to fund shortfalls only in the three types of benefits mentioned. The assessment rates were to be periodically revised based on funding needs. GAI, pension, and welfare funds themselves continued to be locally controlled, negotiated, and funded. Prior to settlement on a new master agreement, by addendum dated May 12, 1977, payments to one of the employers’ container royalty funds were doubled effec tive May 1, 1977, with the additional money to be al located to finance supplemental cash payments. Discussions in the five major North Atlantic Coast ports resulted in local agreements in late November which incorporated terms of the master agreement. Workers ratified the packages on November 29.26 All of these local agreements provided for an additional paid holiday. Vacation requirements were liberalized in Philadelphia and Boston. The GAI benefit was in creased to 1,900 hours in Philadelphia and 1,700 hours in Boston. During the contracts’ terms, pensions were increased in New York and Philadelphia. Pension benefits also were increased in Baltimore, Boston, and Hampton Roads. (See table 3 for details.) On September 25, 1979, the legal situation with re spect to container rules was clouded when the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit overturned NLRB rulings which had invalidated con tainer rules affecting the ports of New York, Baltimore, and Hampton Roads. The case was remanded to the NLRB for any further action it considered appropriate. The following tables are complete to the October 1, 1980, scheduled expiration date of the contracts. “ Contracts for other North Atlantic ports and for South Atlantic and G ulf Coast ports also were ratified by the IL A ’s membership on Nov. 29. 18 Table 1.

Not included within the term are adjustments in individual rates (promotions) and minor adjustments in wage structure that do not have an immediate effect on the general wage level. The changes listed were the major adjustments in wage rates made during the period covered. Because of fluctuations in earnings occasioned by premium and penalty rates and other factors, the total of the general changes listed will not neces sarily coincide with the changes in average hourly eamfngs over the period of the chronology. 2This represented the first agreement jointly negotiated and signed by major employer associations in North Atlantic Coast ports with the ILA. The agreement dealt with wages, hours, the amount of contributions for welfare and pension bene fits (but not the benefits provided), and the period of the agreement. Since it applied to longshoremen and related labor classifications, stevedoring as well as other wa terfront associations and organizations were signatories. The employer groups repre sented were (a) New York Shipping Association, Inc; Deepwater Steamship Lines and Contracting Stevedores; Cargo Repairmen Contractors; Checking and Clerking Contractors; General Maintenance Contractors; and Contracting Marine Carpenters; (b) Steamship Trade Association of Baltimore, Inc.; and Deepwater Steamship Lines and Contracting Stevedores in the Port of Baltimore; (c) Boston Shipping Association, Inc.; Contracting Stevedores; and Deepwater Lines; (d) Hampton Roads Maritime Association, Inc.; (e) Philadelphia Marine Trade Association; (f) Portland Shipping Association, Inc.; and (g) Rhode Island Shipping Association, Inc.

Under an amendment to the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, approved on July 20, 1949, and made retroactive .to the effective date o f this act, the liability of employers to pay for work in excess o f 40 hours a week at the rate of time and one-half the regular rate was removed in cases where the rate paid was already a premium rate equal to time and one-half. 3Longshoremen seeking work at North Atlantic Coast ports are hired as re quired by foremen stevedores o f shipping lines and stevedoring companies. The system o f employing labor in these ports, as differentiated from the hiring hall common to most maritime trades, is termed the “ shape.” Under the shape, longshoremen congregate and are hired at the pier on which work is available. Although employers o f longshore labor do not ordinarily maintain permanent staffs, longshoremen tend to seek work at a specific pier or for an individual employer. Over a period o f years, this practice has established a precedent which entitles regular workers to employment preference at their chosen piers. The 1949 contracts acknowledged this right by providing that workers “ who regularly work” on a pier must be given “ preference in hir in g.” During the early 1900’s, workers seeking longshore work were required to be available at the piers all day. Since then, the union and the employers have established fixed periods during which employers may hire labor. The 1949 agreement provided shaping periods as follows: (1) From Monday to Friday at 7:55 a.m. for work between 8 a.m. and 12 noon; at 12:55 p.m. for work be tween 1 p.m. and 5 p.m ., and for work starting at 5, 6, or 7 p.m.; (2) on Saturday, Sunday, or legal holidays, additional workers at the 12:55 p.m. shape of the previous day, if a ship was worked at the pier on the previous day. Longshoremen working on the previous day receive their orders before leaving work; (3) on a Saturday or legal holiday preceded by a day on which no ship was worked at the pier at 7:55 a.m.; and (4) on a Sunday preceded by a day on which no ship was worked at the pier before 12 noon of the preceding Satur day. 4In Boston, longshoremen did not work before 8 a.m. *In New York and New Jersey, a single “ shape-up,” at 7:55 a.m. each day instead o f 2, as in the past, with special arrangements for the employment of workers after 5 p.m ., was provided for in the 1951 contract. Each o f the other ports continued to have 3 or more shape-ups. 6With the modificaton o f the shape (text footnote 6), the parties to the New York Port agreement also negotiated ordering procedures. These procedures specified the day and hour gangs were to be provided with work assignments. They required notice for work on (1) Sunday, by 3 p.m. on Friday, unless the gang worked on Saturday in which case notice was required by 3 p.m. on that day; (2) Monday, by 4 p.m. on Friday; and (3) Tuesday through Saturday, by 4 p.m. the previous day. Gangs needed for nightwork from Monday through Saturday were to be notified not later than 3 p.m. of the day to be worked; on Sunday, by 3 p.m. Friday. Provisions for work on the day following a legal holiday were similar to those for Sunday-Monday callouts— notice was re quired before the day of rest. Because of the uncertainty connected with maritime scheduling, provision was made for cancellation of the job orders before specified hours on the days to be worked. 7This was the only agreement reached at Boston. All other details of the plan were to be worked out at a later date. 8The clinic fund at Boston was combined with the welfare fund on Oct. 31, 1963; Boston no longer has clinics or a clinic fund. 9Unfunded benefits available through Dec. 31, 1963 (not paid through the Group Insurance Plan but paid directly by the fund). 10 Amounts for life insurance and accidental death and dismemberment made retroactive from trustee action dated May 28, 1969. "E ffective Jan. 1, 1958, or thereafter, provision also applicable to widow and dependent children of deceased employee (medical benefits for widow only) for the remainder of the insured year; like coverage extended for the next calendar year if deceased employee had at least 700 hours to his credit prior to his death. "C om plete clinical services for dental and optical care were provided in NYSA— ILA Medical Centers for employees and dependents. "The deductible was to be satisfied within 6 consecutive months. " A ls o applicable to widows of pensioners, if they were entitled to w idow s’ benefits from the pension fund, and widows and dependent children of de ceased employees for the balance of the insured year, with like coverage ex tended for the next calendar year if deceased employee had at least 700 man hours credit prior to his death. 76 Wage Chronologies Available Bituminous Coal Mine Operators and United Mine Workers of America— October 1933-November 1974, BLS Bulletin 1799. 1974-77, Supplement to BLS Bulletin 1799.
