Preface
This report is one of a series prepared by the Bu­
reau of Labor Statistics to trace changes in wage scales
and related benefits negotiated by individual employers or
combinations of employers with a union or group of unions
in selected collective bargaining situations. Benefits uni­
laterally introduced by an employer generally are included.
The information is obtained from collective bargaining
agreements and related documents, voluntarily filed with
the Bureau as new settlements are reached. Any descrip­
tion of the course of collective bargaining is derived from
news media and confirmed and/ or supplemented by the
parties to the agreement. The chronologies, dealing only
with selected features of collective bargaining or wage
determination, are intended prim arily as a tool for r e ­
search, analysis, and wage administration.
References
to grievance procedure, job security, method of piecerate adjustment, and sim ilar m atters are omitted.
This wage chronology sum m arizes changes in wage
rates and related wage practices negotiated by the W estern
Greyhound Lines with the Amalgamated Transit Union and
the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace
W orkers since 1945. This bulletin supplements the chron­
ology by incorporating the provisions of three agreements
negotiated since 1963 and effective through 1967.
The analysis for the period 1954—67 was prepared by
Willmon Fridie, under the supervision of Philip M arcus.

Wage Chronology—

Western Greyhound Lines, 1945—67'
Introduction
1945-53
Operating over 11,000 route m iles in
California, Oregon, Nevada, Utah, Arizona,
New M exico, and Texas and employing more
than 4, 200 w orkers, Pacific Greyhound is the
largest line in the Greyhound system . It is
largely owned by the Greyhound Corp. and
the Southern Pacific Railroad, although some
stock is also held by individual stockholders.
The Amalgamated Association of Street,
Electric Railway and Motor Coach Employees
(AFL) has served as bargaining agent for the
company's bus operators and terminal em ­
ployees since April 1937. In 1944, the parties
failed to reach agreement on 80 of the 138
sections of a contract and the dispute was
certified to the Regional War Labor Board.
An order covering the issues in dispute was
released by the Regional Board in July 1945,
and an agreement was reached October 22,
1945, complying with the directive of the R e­
gional Board. In March 1952, after lengthy
negotiations, the parties again failed to reach
an agreement and an 80-day strike occurred.
A new agreement was reached May 10; many
of its term s were retroactive to March 2,
1952. This agreement was to run until Sep­
tember 30, 1954, and thereafter from year
to year unless either party gave 60 days'
notice in writing between August 1, 1954, and
March 1, 1955, of its desire to amend or
terminate the agreement.
The 1952 agreement also provided for
deferred changes in pay rates at 6-month
intervals.
The amount of the increases in
contract rates due in October of 1952 and of
1953 was specified in the agreement.
The
changes in March of 1953 and of 1954 were
made dependent on the change in the revised
Consumer Price Index; existing scales were
to be increased by the same percentage as
the rise in the revised CPI between January
1952 and January 1953 and between January
1953 and January 1954, respectively. (Thus,
on March 1, 1953, the rates specified in the
contract for October 1, 1952, were increased
by a percentage equal to the rise in the cost
of living between January 1952 and January
1953.
In October 1953, the rates specified




in the contract for the first day of that month
were increased by the cost-of-livin g amount
allowed in March 1953. )
The increase in hourly and mileage rates
in October 1953 was proportionately larger
for operators than for terminal employees:
The workweek for operators, which had been
reduced from 6 to an average of 5 V2 days in
October 1952, was reduced again— this time
to an average of 5 days.
Normal hours of
all terminal employees working a schedule in
excess of 40 hours were reduced to 40 at the
time this agreement was first put into effect.
The company's maintenance employees
are represented by the International A sso c ia ­
tion of Machinists (AFL) and the International
Brotherhood of T eam sters, Chauffeurs, W a re­
housemen and Helpers of A m erica (AFL
Bargaining with the Machinists and Team sters
is not conducted on a systemwide basis. The
provisions dealing with maintenance employ­
ees included in this chronology are those for
the San Francisco, C alif., IAM Local No.
1305 which became their bargaining agent
January 16, 1937. The 1953 IAM agreement,
to be e f f e c t i v e from June 1, 1953, until
June 1, 1954, was extended to June 1, 1955.
This chronology traces the changes in
wages and related practices from 1945 through
1967 for employees represented by SERMCE
and the IAM San Francisco local. Since the
chronology begins with the 1945 agreem ents,
the provisions for that year do not n eces­
sarily indicate changes from prior conditions
of employment.

1954—63
During the 9-year period 1954—63, W est­
ern Greyhound Lines and the Amalgamated
Association of Street, Electric Railway and
Motor Coach Employes of A m erica (SERMCE)
amended the basic document that governed 1

Greyhound Lines on June 1, 1957.

company-union relations and regulated work­
ing conditions five tim es.
Five agreements
were also negotiated during that period by the
company and the International Association of
Machinists (IAM) for maintenance employees
in the San Francisco area.

SERMCE Contracts
In m id-October 1954, the Pacific G rey­
hound Lines and the SERMCE agreed on an
18-month contract to replace the one that had
expired on September 30.
The settlement
provided for a wage increase averaging 5 V2
cents an hour— half effective immediately and
half on July 16, 1955— for both operators and
terminal e m p l o y e e s in California and six
other western States.
Operators paid on a
mileage basis received an immediate increase
of 1. 37 m ills per m ile and equivalent amount
in July 1955. The parties also reduced se rv ­
ice requirements for the third week of vaca­
tion from 15 to 12 years. The contract, cov­
ering about 2, 800 employees, was scheduled
to expire March 1, 1956.
In 1956, extended negotiations began on
January 26 and culminated in a 2-year agree­
ment on March 29. Although settlement was
not reached by the scheduled expiration date
of the previous contract, service continued
on a day-to-day basis.
The term s of the
settlement, m a d e retroactive to March 2,
provided a wage increase of 10 cents an hour,
or 4 m ills a m ile, for operators and $ 18 a
month for terminal employees.
Additional
increases of 8 cents an hour, or 2. 5 m ills
a m ile, for operators and $ 15 a month for
terminal employees were to be effective a
year later. An employee-paid health and w el­
fare plan was replaced by one which the com ­
pany and the employees would finance by joint
contributions until March 1957, when the com ­
pany was to assume the full cost of the plan.
Vacation benefits were liberalized and certain
other contract provisions were revised. The
agreement was to remain in force through
February 28, 1958.
On June 1, 1957, Pacific Greyhound Lines
merged with Northwest Greyhound Lines and
a segment of Overland Greyhound Lines to
form W estern Greyhound Lines. 2 To facilitate
bargaining, the seven SERMCE divisions of
the merged c o m p a n i e s , in January 1958,
organized a Council of W estern Amalgamated
Divisions. In addition to the classes of work­
ers covered by the previous agreement with
Pacific Greyhound Lines, the Council repre­
sented office workers throughout the system
and some of the maintenance employees out­
side the San Francisco area. The 1958 agree­
ment, the first negotiated by the Council with



W estern, was embodied in five separate con­
tracts. In I960, the wages and working con­
ditions for all W estern's employees repre­
sented by the SERMCE were incorporated into
one document.
The first c o n t r a c t s between W estern
Greyhound Lines and the SERMCE, agreed
to in May 1958, were made effective for 2
years from March 1, 1958. They varied the
general wage increase in order to standardize
rates in all areas immediately. The contracts
also provided deferred increases, effective
March 1, 1959, of 8 cents an hour, or 3 m ills
a m ile, for operators and $ 13. 86 a month
for terminal employees. A number of existing
supplementary benefit provisions were im ­
proved, and paid holidays were provided for
the first time since the parties started nego­
tiating.
A fourth week of vacation after 25
years for operators and terminal employees
was also added to the growing list of employee
benefits.
The company contribution to the
health and welfare plan was also increased
at this tim e.
Improvements in the pension
plan were to be negotiated at a later date.
The new SERMCE contracts, covering about
4, 700 employees, were scheduled to expire
March 1, I960.
On July 12, I960, after the 1958 agree­
ment had been extended three tim es, a 2-year
contract, retroactive to March 1, was signed.
Term s of the settlement included wage in­
creases of 10 cents an hour, or 4 m ills a
m ile, for operators; 10 cents an hour for
maintenance employees; and $ 1 7 . 3 2 a month
for office and terminal employees. An addi­
tional 8 cents an hour, 3 m ills a m ile, or
$ 1 3 . 8 7 a month was to become effective on
March 1, 1961.
The parties also agreed to
an extensive reclassification of office jobs
and increased holiday pay for operators and
terminal employees. A fourth week of vaca­
tion was provided after 20 years, and pro­
visions for jury-duty pay were included in
the contract for the first tim e. Company con­
tributions to the health and welfare fund were
increased and the pension plan improved. The
agreement was to remain in force through
February 28, 1962.
Beginning early in June and continuing
beyond the February 28 expiration date of the
existing contract, extended negotiations for
a new agreement culminated in a settlement
on April 24, 1962.
Before settlement was
reached, m em bers of the SERMCE had voted

to strike in support of their demands, the
parties had extended the term of the a gree­
ment twice, and for a few days operations
had continued without a contract.
Wage changes provided by the settlement
included increases of 8 cents an hour, 3 m ills
a m ile, or $ 13. 87 a month retroactive to
March 1, and 6 cents an hour, 2 m ills a
m ile, or $ 10.40 a month a year later. Office
employees received additional increases r e ­
sulting from job classification adjustments.
Other contract changes included increased
holiday pay for operators and terminal em ­
ployees and a ninth paid holiday for office
em ployees.
Meal allowances, subsistence
pay for terminal employees, extra service
pay for operators, and company contributions
to the health and welfare plan were increased
in two steps over the term of the agreement.
Employees were permitted to accumulate up
to 7 days* sick leave. The current contract,
covering 5, 000 employees, was scheduled to
remain in effect through February 28, 1964.
IAM Contracts
Between June 1, 1955, and June 1, 1961,
maintenance employees in the San Francisco
area, represented by the International A s s o ­
ciation of Machinists, received general wage
i n c r e a s e s totaling almost $ 1 . 0 6 an hour.
These increases, effective June 1 of each
year were as follows: 15 cents, 1955; 12. 5
cents, 1956; 8 cents, 1957; 16. 25 cents, 1958;
and 18 cents in each of the years 1959, I960,
and 1961. In addition, the 1955 contract added
a ninth paid holiday and reduced service r e ­
quirements for 3 w eeks1 vacation. Both the
1958 and 1959 contracts provided for a further
reduction in the service requirements for 3
weeks' vacation.
The 1959 contract was to
remain in effect until May 31, 1962.
Negotiations between the IAM and the
company for a new agreement began April 1,
1962.
Economic demands of the union in­
cluded a general wage increase of $ 1. 50 an
hour spread over 3 years, a fourth week of
vacation, increased premium pay for work
on Sundays and paid holidays, a new paid sick
leave provision, and an improved health and
welfare plan, On May 30, the parties agreed
to extend the contract to June 30. However,
a work stoppage began at the end of the exten­
sion period. Settlement was reached 12 days
later, on July 11.
The new 3-year agreement provided for
hourly wage increases of 16, 14, and 12 cents
an hour, effective June 1, 1962, 1963, and
1964, respectively. Changes in supplementary
benefits included a new paid sick leave pro­
vision, increased premium pay for work on



paid holidays, a fourth week of vacation, and
increased company contribution to an im ­
proved health and welfare plan.
The current
IAM contract covering 350 employees in the
San Francisco area, was to be effective from
June 1, 1962, until May 31, 1965, with no
reopening provisions.

1964—66
ATU Contracts
Negotiations to replace the April 24, 1962,
contract between Western Greyhound Lines
and the Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU) 3
began in December 1963, more than 2 months
before the February 29, 1964, termination
date.
The union's bargaining program, in a
proposed 2-year contract, was designed to in­
crease earnings, improve a substantial num­
ber of working practices, provide a sound
financial foundation for the health insurance
plan, and expend and liberalize retirement
benefits. Few of the 1962 agreem ent's eco­
nomic provisions were without a proposed
change.
The union proposed equal increases in
each year of the contract for operators, and
terminal and maintenance employees equiva­
lent to 30 percent of the maximum of each
classification range. Additional increases of
15 cents an hour in 1964 and 1965 were asked
for maintenance employees. Higher guaran­
tees for special assignments and larger spe­
cial allowances also were sought for W estern
Greyhound Lines' employees.
In addition, the union proposed that the
number of paid holidays be increased by two.
The list of demands also included a substan­
tial increase in the length of vacations for
long-term employees; 4 weeks after 15 years,
24 days after 20 years, and an additional 4
days for each 5 years of service after 20.
Another proposal, also designed to reduce
total worktime, would have shortened the
workday of office and terminal employees.
The company did not present form al counter
proposals.
After several extensions of the 1962 con­
tract, a new 2-year agreement was concluded
by the parties on April 15, 1964, and ratified
by the uyion membership on May 19.

^ The Amalgamated Association of Street, Electric Railway
and Motor Coach Employees of America (SERMCE) changed its
name to the Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU) on July 1, 1964.

4
Wage changes provided by the settlement
included increases of 10 cents an hour or 4
m ills a mile for operators, and 13 cents an
hour for maintenance employees; and average
increases of 4 percent for office employees,
and 4. 6 percent for terminal employees, all
retroactive to March 1, 1964. An additional
8 cents an hour or 3 m ills a m ile for oper­
ators, 10 cents an hour for maintenance em ­
ployees, $13. 87 a month for terminal employ­
ees, and 3. 1 percent for office employees,
were to become effective on March 1, 1965.
A fourth week of vacation was added after
18 years of service, and a fifth after 30
years for all operators, and terminal and
maintenance employees.
Other major con­
tract changes included a seventh paid holiday
for operators, and terminal and maintenance
em ployees, and a 7-hour workday for office
em ployees.
The 7-hour day was to be a c ­
complished following four 15-minute reduc­
tions to become effective March 1 and June 1,
1964; March 1, 1965; and January 1, 1966.
Company contributions to the health and w el­
fare fund were increased and the pension plan
was improved. The new agreement, covering
5, 000 em ployees, was to remain in effect
through February 28, 1966.

1966— 67
ATU Contracts
Western Greyhound Lines and the A m al­
gamated Transit Union (ATU) began negotia­
tions for a new contract late in December
1965.
ATU wage demands consisted of wage in­
creases in each year of a 2-year contract,
continuation of the cost-of-living clause, and
an additional increase for mechanics. P ro ­
posed changes in wage practices included an
additional paid holiday, improved vacation
provisions, increases in stand and extra se rv ­
ice allowances, and the establishment of a
company paid dental program for office em ­
ployees.
The company's counteroffer con­
sisted of a package reportedly totaling 4 V2 to
5 percent in each year of a 2-year contract.

Although agreement was not reached by
the expiration date of the existing agreement,
there was no work stoppage; work continued
on a day-to-day basis. On May 5, after ex­
tended negotiations failed to produce a settle­
ment, the ATU served notice of its intention
to strike, if agreement was not reached by
May 15.
When accord on a new contract
was not reached by that date, a strike began,
idling 5, 00 0 employees in 11 States. Major
unresolved issues were pensions and wages.




A modified pension proposal was sub­
mitted by the union on May 24 and accepted
by the company; however, negotiations r e ­
mained deadlocked on the other issues and
strike continued.
The Federal Mediation and Conciliation
Service announced on June 10 that it would
make specific recommendations for a new
contract and submit them to the parties for
approval.
On June 14 the FMCS submitted
a list of 32 specific recommendations for a
settlement, which included a number of pro­
posals that had been agreed to by the parties.
The parties were given 24 hours in which to
accept or reject the proposal.
Both the company and the ATU negotiator s
tentatively accepted the recommendations of
the FMCS on June 16, but the ATU announced
it would submit the proposal to its m em ber­
ship "without re co m m en d a tio n s."4 The 4 0 day strike ended on June 24 when the union
m e m b e r s accepted the recommendations,
3, 014 to 1, 215. 5
Economic term s of the settlement in­
cluded wage increases of 10 cents an hour or
4 m ills a m ile for operators, and 10 cents an
hour for other hourly paid employees retro ­
active to March 1. No negotiated general wage
increase was provided for the second year,
but the annual cost-o f-liv in g clause was con­
tinued with any adjustments to become effec­
tive March 1, 1967. Mechanics were to r e ­
ceive an additional 10 cents an hour the first
year and another 5 cents the second year.
A lso in the second year, the company agreed
to assume the employees* 4-percent contri­
bution to the pension fund and improve pension
benefits, add a paid holiday, liberalize vaca­
tion provisions, increase spread and stand
service pay, and establish a dental program
for office employees. The contract, covering
about 5, 000 employees, was scheduled to r e ­
main in effect through February 29, 1968.
IAM Contracts
Late in May 1965 the company and the
International Association of Machinists and
Aerospace W orkers 6 (IAM) agreed on a 1year contract to replace the one scheduled to

4 Representatives of the ATU stated they did not adopt
an official position on the recommendations because the " Media­
tion Service in publicly asserting what the parties should write
in their collective bargaining agreement sets a dangerous and
intolerable precedent. "
5 On the day the ATU strike was settled, mechanics in
the San Francisco area represented by the IAM walked out in a
dispute over wages. The strike lasted 1 day.
6 The IAM changed its name to the International Associa­
tion of Machinists and Aerospace Workers on Jan. 1, 1965.

5
expire on June 1 of that year.
The agree­
ment was ratified by the union m embership
on June 19.
The settlement provided for a
general wage increase of 50 cents an hour
effective June 1, 1965.
The parties also
agreed to substitute the employee's birthday
for Adm ission Day as a paid holiday and lib ­
eralized transportation privileges. Jury duty
and occupational injury pay provisions also
were established. The contract was scheduled
to remain in effect until May 31, 1966.
Extended negotiations for a new agree­
ment between the company and thelAM culm i­
nated in a settlement on June 25, 1966, after
a 1-day work stoppage over higher wages.




The new 3 - year contract provided for
hourly wage increases of 25 cents effective
June 1 of 1966 and 1967 and an additional
22. 5 cents effective June 1, 1968. Other con­
tract changes included an improved sick leave
p r o v i s i o n , liberalization of transportation
privileges, and higher subsistence pay.
The
current IAM contract covering about 3 75 em ­
ployees in the San Francisco area was to
remain in effect until May 31, 1969.

Greyhound Lines wage chronology up to date

1 General wage changes are construed as upward or downward adjustments affecting a substantial number
of w orkers at one tim e.
Not included within the term s are adjustments in individual rates (prom otions, length o f-s e r v ic e in cr e a se s, e tc .) and minor adjustments in wage structure (such as changes in certain minim um gu a r­
antees) that do not have an immediate and noticable effect on the average wage lev el.
The changes listed above were the m ajor adjustments in wage rates made during the period covered.
Be­
cause of fluctuations in length of se rv ice , earnings affecting m ileage and trip ra te s, nongeneral changes in ra te s,
and other fa cto rs, the sum of the general changes will not n e ce ssa rily coincide with the amount of change in a v ­
erage hourly earnings over the period of the chronology.
2 In crea ses average 3. 84 percent for operators and 2. 69 percent for a ll w orkers covered by SERM CE
agreem ent.
3 The contracts of 1952, 1954, and 1956 provided for annual in creases in rates of pay, effective on the first
payroll period after M arch 1 of each y e a r, equal to the percent increase in the Consum er P rice Index (1947—49=100)
during the year ending the preceding January 15; rates were not to be reduced if the index had d ecreased .
The
1958, I96 0 , and 1962 contracts provided for sim ila r adjustments in the ye ars between negotiations— in 1959, 1961,
and 1963.
The 1962 agreem ent used the CPI with 1957— 59=100.

vision of the Greyhound C o r p .)— also covered for the first time som e maintenance em p loyees, outside the San
F ra n cisco area and all office w orkers.
6 A greem en t also provided another deferred hourly increase of 12 cents on July 1, 1964.
