Preface

The Bureau of Labor Statistics conducts annual surveys of wage rates and scheduled hours of work for specified crafts or jobs as provided in labor-management agreements in four industries: Building construction,printing, local transit, and local trucking. The studies present the wage rates in effect as of July 1 of each year, as reported to the Bureau by the appropriate local labor organizations in each of the cities included in the survey.

Information on the union scales and hours prevailing for the printing trades in each city is available in October of each year upon request to the Bureau's regional offices, as shown on the inside back cover. A release summarizing the rates for the printing trades on a nationwide basis was issued in February 1963. This analysis provides additional data and indexes of the trend of wages and hours for the period 1907—62.

This bulletin was prepared by Thomas C. Mobley, under the supervision of John F. Laciskey, in the Bureau's Division of National Wage and Salary Income, under the general direction of H. M. Douty, Assistant Commissioner for Wages and Industrial Relations.

Union Wages and Hours:

Printing Industry, July 1, 1962

Summary

Hourly wage scales of organized printing trades workers in cities of 100,000 or more population rose 10 cents, or 2.9 percent, on the average, during the year ending July 1, 1962. The advance was 10 cents in both book and job shops and newspaper establishments according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics annual survey of such scales in the printing industry.

Revisions in pay scales which became effective between July 1, 1961, and July 1, 1962, raised hourly wage rates for nine-tenths of the printing tradesmen covered by the survey. Advances varied from 8 to 10 cents for a fourth of the workers, 10 to 12 cents for almost another fourth, 6 to 8 cents for a tenth, and 12 to 15 cents for slightly more than a tenth. 1 The advance was 15 cents or more an hour for an eighth of the printing trades workers.

As a result of the widespread rate re visions, union hourly scales on July 1, 1962,averaged $3.41 for all printing trades workers combined— $ 3. 24 in book and job shops and $ 3. 66 in newspaper plants. Slightly more than half of the printing tradesmen had negotiated rates of $ 3. 20 to $ 3. 80 an hour and a fourth had rates of $ 3. 80 or more.

Straight-time weekly work schedules averaged 36. 5 hours on July 1, 1962, unchanged from the previous year. The predominant workweek was, however, 37V2 hours, which applied to 44 percent of the printing craftsmen. Straight-time workweeks of 36V4 hours were specified for 28 percent of the workers and of 35 hours for 21 percent.

Health and welfare (insurance) programs financed wholly or in part by the employers were specified in labor-management agreements applicable to slightly more than three- fourths of the printing tradesmen. Similarly financed pension plans were provided in contracts covering almost three-fifths of the workers.

1 For ease of reading, in this and subsequent discussions of tabulations, the limits of the class intervals are designated as 10 to 12 cents, 3 to 5 percent, e tc ., instead of using the more precise terminology, 10 and under 12 cents, 3 and under 5 percent, etc.

Scope and Method of Study

Union scales are those agreed upon through collective bargaining between trade unions and employers, and defined as (1) the basic (minimum) wage scales (excluding holiday, vacation, or other benefit payments regularly made or credited to the worker each pay period) and (2) the maximum schedules of hours at straight-time rates. Rates in excess of the negotiated minimum, which may be paid for special qualifications or other reasons, are not included.

The information presented in this bulletin was based on union scales in effect on July 1, 1962, and covered approximately 113,000 printing trades workers in 54 cities with populations of 100,000 or more. Data were obtained primarily from local union officials by mail questionnaire; in some instances, Bureau economists visited local union officials to obtain the desired information.

The current survey reflects union wage scales in the printing industry in all cities of100.000 or more population. All cities with500.000 or more population were included, as were most cities in the 250,000 to 500,000 group. The cities in the 100,000 to 250,000 group selected for study were distributed widely throughout the United States. Data for some of the cities included in the study were weighted to compensate for cities not surveyed. To provide appropriate representation in the combination of data, each geographic region was considered separately when city weights were assigned.

Average hourly scales, indicating current levels, were based on all scales reported in effect on July 1, 1962. Individual scales were weighted by the number of union members at each rate. These averages are not designed for precise year-to-year comparisons because of fluctuations in membership and in job classifications studied. Average cents-per- hour and percent changes from July 1, 1961,to July 1, 1962, were, however, based oncomparable quotations for the various occupational classifications in both periods, weighted by the membership reported for the current (1962) survey. The index series, providing long-term trend data, is similarly constructed.

Trend of Union Scales, 1907—62

The Bureau's series of surveys of union wage scales in the printing industry began with data for 1907. Subsequent data were obtained annually except for the period from July 1, 1946, to July 1, 1949, when scale information was collected every 18 months. In the initial survey, information was collected for 11 classifications in 39 cities. The current report presents data for 20 trade classifications in 54 cities.

During this 56-year span, wage scales for printing trades workers in book and job shops and in newspaper establishments advanced each year except 1932 and 1933. For the years 1907 through 1910, however, the data were not tabulated for all printing trades combined. The Bureau's index of union hourly wage scales on a 1957—59=100 base shows the level of scales for all printing trades workers combined rose from 13.9 on May 15, 1911, to 112.9 on July 1, 1962. (See table l . ) 2This increase has been at an annual rate of 4. 2 percent.

The rate of advance, however, has varied widely during the 52-year span for which data are available. Advances were small prior to World War I but rose sharply during the war and in years immediately following the cessation of hostilities. A record gain of 28 percent in 1920 raised the level of union scales to almost double that of 1911. After a 10 percent advance in 1921, union wage scales continued a moderate upward movement through 1931 when a level 35 percent above 1920 was reached. The downward movement occasioned by declines of 1 percent in 1932 and of 6 percent in the following year was reversed in 1934 but its effects were not fully offset until 1936. In June 1941, the level of rates was 12 percent above the 1931 level. Rates rose moderately (12 percent) in the World War II years of 1941—45. Advances during this period were moderated by the Government's wage stabilization program. Scales rose sharply after the war and on July 1, 1949, attained a level 67 percent above that of 4 years earlier. Except for the period of the Korean outbreak (1950—53), the advance ranged from 2 to 3V2 percent in each of the years subsequent to 1949. The percent change in each year is shown in an accompanying chart.

2 Effective with this report, the Bureau is currently using 1957-459 as 100 in the computation of the index. When computed on the January 2, 1948—July 1, 1949=100 base as shown in Union Wages and Hours: Printing Industry, July 1, 1961 (BLS Bulletin1315, 1962), the index for July 1, 1962, is 162. 1.

The index for book and job shops rose from 10.4 in 1907 to 114.0 in 1962 and for newspaper establishments from 13. 8 to 111. 3. The annual rate of advance over the 1907—62 period was 4. 4 percent for book and job shops and 3. 9 percent for newspaper plants; for the 1911—62 period, the rates were 4 .3 and 3.9 percent, respectively.

Scale Increases, 1961—62

Many of the union contracts in effect on July 1, 1962, were negotiated for 2 years—a few were for longer periods. Contracts of more than a year's duration frequently provide for wage reopenings or contain provisions for periodic increases. Although individual contracts provided for increases at various dates, only those scale changes that actually became effective between July 1, 1961, and July 1, 1962, were included in the current study. Some of these scale revisions were provided for in contracts which became effective prior to July 1, 1961. A number of agreements negotiated during the year ending July 1, 1962, contain provisions for rate increases after July 1, 1962. Thus, the scalerevisions presented herein do not reflect the total wage scale changes negotiated in individual contracts during the survey year.

Between July 1, 1961, and July 1, 1962,the level of union scales for printing trades workers in cities of 100,000 or more population rose 2.9 percent. This advance, although slightly smaller than the gain registered in the year ending July 1, 1961, equaled the increase recorded in the 12 months ending July 1, I960. This upward adjustment re flected advances of 3. 1 percent in book and job (commercial) shops and 2. 7 percent in newspaper establishments.

The rate of gain varied widely among individual trades in both types of printing establishments. It ranged from 2 .4 percent for electrotypers to 3. 7 percent for mailers in commercial shops and from 1. 8 percent for pressmen-in-charge to 3. 1 percent for machine tenders (machinists) in newspaper establishments (table 5).

Hourly wage scales rose 10 cents, on the average, in both commercial shops and newspaper plants. Among the individual trades, the advances varied from 7 cents for bindery women to 14 cents an hour for photoengravers in commercial shops and from 7 cents for pressmen (journeymen) and pres smen-in- charge to 11 cents for machine operators and machine tenders (machinists) in newspaper plants.

Union hourly wage scales were adjusted upward during the year for slightly more than nine-tenths of the printing trades workers in book and job shops and seven-eighths of those in newspaper plants. For a few workers in three trades in commercial shops, scales were revised downward. Such decreases affected less than one-half of 1 percent of the workers in book and job shops. Rates rose for at least 5 of every 6 workers in all trades in book and job shops and in 5 of the 8 trades in newspaper establishments.

Advances in the hourly scales for commercial work varied from 8 to 10 cents for slightly more than a fifth of the workers, 10 to 12 cents for a fourth, and 12 cents or more for almost another fourth. For newspaper work, the respective proportions were a fourth, a fifth, and about a fourth (table 4).

Increases in the hourly wage scales between July 1, 1961, and July 1, 1962, represented gains of 3 to 4 percent for three- eighths of the workers in commercial shops and for almost the same proportion in newspaper establishments, and of 2 to 3 percent for about a fifth of the workers in both types of printing establishments. Gains of 4 to 5 percent were recorded for a sixth of the book and job shop workers and a sixteenth of those in newspaper establishments. Scales rose 5 percent or more for a sixth of the printing trades workers in both commercial shops and newspaper plants (table 3).

Rate Variations by Type of Work

Commercial (book and job) printshops produce many different items in varying quantities; newspaper establishments, on the other hand, are geared to mass production of a single recurring item at regular intervals. Because of these variations, the composition of the labor force differs materially in the two branches of the printing industry. A substantial proportion of the labor force in commercial shops is comprised of bindery women, mailers, and press assistants and feeders, who typically perform routine and less skilled tasks; in newspaper printing, however, journeymen are required in greater proportions to meet daily demands. These different work force requirements are reflected in the average rates, which take into account the number of printing trades workers at the various rates of pay in each type of establishment.

On July 1, 1962, hourly wage scales ofunionized printing trades workers averaged $ 3. 24 in book and job shops and $ 3. 66 in newspaper plants. Nightwork scales in newspaper establishments averaged about 6 percent, or 22 cents an hour, higher than com

parable daywork scales— $3.77 compared with $3 .5 5 (table 7). Because relatively few workers are employed on nightwork in commercial shops, data for such workers were excluded from the survey.

Although daywork scales were higher on the average in newspaper plants than in commercial shops, no consistent pattern of scale differentials existed among occupational classifications common to both types of printing. Daywork scales for mailers were, on the average, 16 cents an hour more in newspaper establishments than in book and job shops. Photoengravers and stereotypers on commercial work, however, averaged 31 and 37 cents an hour, respectively, above day-shift workers in these crafts in newspaper plants.

On July 1, 1962, negotiated wage scalesfor printing trades workers showed a wide variation. In commercial shops, day-shift scales ranged fr o m $1 .47 an h ou r for some platen press assistants and feeders in Memphis to $5. 06 an hour for first pressmen on 4-color offset presses in Boston. Scales of $ 3. 30 to $ 3. 80 an hour were specified in labor-management agreements for three- eighths of the printing craftsmen and of $ 2. 80 to $ 3. 30 for a fifth. Scales of $ 3. 80 or more an hour were reported for a fifth of the workers, including some printing craftsmen in all trades except bindery women and press assistants and feeders. Two-fifths of electrotypers, a slightly smaller proportion of photoengravers and about two-thirds of the stereotypers had scales ranging from $ 3. 80 to $4. 30 as did a sixth of compositors and cylinder pressmen, a seventh of the mailers and a tenth of the bookbinders. Slightly more than two-fifths of the photoengravers had scales of $4. 30 or more. Rates of less than $ 2. 30 an hour were reported for almost a fifth of the workers, including nine-tenths of the bindery women, a sixth of the mailers, and a few workers in four other trades. A- mong bindery women, nearly half had scales of less than $2 an hour and two-fifths had rates ranging from $2 to $ 2 .2 0 (table 7).

In newspaper plants, hourly wage scales varied from $2 .5 9 for day-shift mailers in Little Rock to $5 .27 for night-shift stereotypers on German and Polish language newspapers in Chicago. Wage scales of $ 3. 30 to $ 3. 80 an hour were specified in labor- management agreements for 64 percent of the day-shift workers and 48 percent of the night- workers. Negotiated rates of $ 3. 80 or more applied to 19 and 45 percent of the day- and night-shift workers , respectively. Scales of


5

at least $3 .80 were in effect for so m e workers in each of the newspaper printing trades; approximately three-fourths of the photoengravers and pressmen-in-charge had such scales as did a third of the compositors and pressmen.

Among the individual printing trades in book and job shops, average union hourly scales, except for bindery women ($2) and press assistants and feeders ($2 .92 ), varied from $ 3 .0 8 for mailers to $4 .2 0 for photoengravers. Of the eight remaining trades, six had scales averaging at least $ 3. 53 an hour. In newspaper establishments, scales averaged highest ($4.01) for pressmen-in- charge and lowest ($3.38) for mailers. Except for photoengravers ($3 .97), average scales for the other newspaper printing crafts showed little variation, ranging from $ 3. 66 to $ 3. 7 1 an hour.

Nightwork scales in newspaper establishments were, on the average, 22 cents, or 6 percent, above daywork scales. Among individual trades, the differential for nightwork varied from 16 cents for machine tenders (machinists) to 32 cents for pressmen-in- charge. In percentage terms, differentials varied from 4. 4 to 8 .8 percent.

City Variations

Union hourly scales were increased between July 1, 1961, and July 1, 1962, for some printing trades workers in each of the cities surveyed except Spokane. Almost all of the printing trades in that city were in negotiation at the time of the study. No union scales, however, were reported for commercial shops in Charlotte or for newspaper establishments in Portland. In book and job shops, hourly scales rose 8 to 10 cents in 17 cities, 6 to 8 cents in 12 cities, 10 to12 cents in 10 cities, and 12 cents or more in 6 cities. In newspaper plants, the comparable number of cities were 11, 12, 12, and 10, respectively. The advance represented gains of 2 to 3 percent for book and job printing in 24 cities and for newspaper work in a like number, of 3 to 4 percent in 15 and13 cities, respectively. Gains of 4 percent or more were recorded in four cities for commercial work and in three cities for newspaper work (table 6).

The city averages presented in table 8 were designed to show current levels of rates; they do not measure differences in union scales among areas. Scales for individual crafts, of course, varied from city to city. The city averages, however, were influenced not only by differences in rates a- mong cities, but also by differences in the

proportion of organized worker s in the various crafts. Thus, a particular craft or classification may not be organized in some areas or may be organized less intensively in some areas than in others. In addition, certain types of work were found in some areas but not in others, or to a greater extent in some areas than in others. These differences were reflected in the weighting of individual rates by the number of union members at the rate. Hence, even though rates for all individual crafts in two areas may be identical, the average for all crafts combined in each area may differ.

Standard Workweek

Changes in negotiated weekly work schedules at straight-time rates between July 1, 1961, and July 1, 1962, affected relativelyfew workers. The reported changes had no effect on the average straight-time workweek, which remained at 36. 5 hours for all printing trades workers combined. Day-shift schedules averaged 36. 6 hours in book and job shops and 36. 9 hours in newspaper establishments; night-shift workers in newspaper plants had an average weekly schedule of 36. 1 hours (table 9).

The most common straight-time workweek, 3 7 V2 hours, affected two-fifths of the book and job shop workers and almost half of those in newspaper establishments. Negotiated weekly schedules of 36V4 hours were specified for three-tenths and a fourth of the printing craftsmen in book and job shops and newspaper plants, respectively. Standard workweeks of 35 hours or less were in effect for a fourth of the workers in both types of printing establishments.

Health, Insurance, and Pension Plans

Negotiated health, insurance, and pension programs in the printing industry have increased in recent years, although less rapidly than in some industries. 3 The rate of development has undoubtedly been influenced by programs operated by a number of unions for many years, which provide members with one or more types of benefits.

Labor-management agreements providing for health and insurance programs affected

The prevalence of negotiated health, insurance, and pension programs in the printing industry was first studied by the Bureau as of July 1, 1954. Information gathered on these plans was restricted to those financed entirely or in part by the employer. Plans financed by workers through union dues or assessments were excluded. No attempt was made to secure information on the kind and extent of benefits provided or on the cost of plans providing such benefits.


6

more workers than did those containing provisions for pension plans— three-fourths compared with slightly less than three-fifths. Health and insurance programs were applicable to 4 of every 5 workers in book and job shops and to 7 of every 10 on newspaper work. Pension plans affected about half of the workers in each type of printing establishment.

Of the printing tradesmen provided health and insurance protection, seven-eighths were covered by plans entirely financed by the employer. Such plans were included in agreements affecting nine-tenths of the commercial

shop workers and four-fifths of those on newspapers. Employer-financedpension plans prevailed for four-fifths of the printing craftsmen covered by labor-management contracts providing for such plans. This proportion prevailed for both book and job shops and newspaper establishments.

Union Scales by City and Trade

Table 12 presents the union scales of wages and hours in effect on July 1, 1961,and July 1, 1962, for the individual tradesin each of the 54 cities included in the study.
