Preface

The Bureau of Labor S tatistics conducts annual surveys of wage

ra te s and scheduled hours of work for specified c ra fts o r jobs as

provided in labor-m anagem ent agreem ents in four i n d u s t r i e s :

Building construction, printing, local tra n s it, and local trucking.

These studies p resen t the wage ra te s in effect on July l , a s reported

to the B ureau by the appropriate local labor organizations in each of

the c ities included in the survey.

P re lim in ary listin g s of union wage ra te s and hours for local

tru c k d riv e rs and h elp ers in 68 c ities w ere issued within a few months

of the referen ce date for the c u rren t survey (July 1, 1969). Copies

of these a re available from the B ureau of Labor S tatistics, Washing­

ton, D.C. 20212, o r any of its regional offices listed on the inside

back cover of th is rep o rt.

This study was conducted in the B ureau’s Office of Wages and

Industrial R elations. The bulletin, which provides a com prehensive

account of the c u rre n t study and includes indexes of wages for the

period 1936-69, was prepared by A rthur I. Rose in the Division of

Occupational Wage S tructures.

Union Wages and Hours:

Local Truckdrivers and Helpers, July 1, 1969

Summary

Union wage rates for local truckdrivers and their helpers in cities of 100,000 inhabitants or more averaged $3.97 an hour on July 1, 1969, up 5.9 percent over the year earlier. The 22- cent-per-hour increase in average wage rates during the year was the largest since the annual surveys began in 1936. The 5.9-percent increase in wage-rate levels for the 1968-69 period exceeded the increase (5.2) recorded in 1967-68 and equaled the advance registered for 1966-67. The Bureau’s index of union wage rates for local truckdrivers and h e l p e r s was 161.4 (1957-59 = 100) on July 1, 1969 (table 1).

Nearly all workers covered by the survey received wage-rate increases during the 1968-69 period. Increases of less than 4 percent were recorded for about one-sixth of the workers. About one-half of the workers received in­creases of 4 to 6 percent, and another one-fifth received increases of 6 to 9 percent. Slightly more than one-tenth of the workers had increases of 9 percent or more (table 4). On a cents-per- hour basis, increases ranged from less than 10 cents for about 3 percent of the workers to 50 cents or more for about 5 percent. The largest clustering of workers (44 percent) in the array of increases were at 15 to 20 cents an hour (table 5). Wage-rate increases for truckdrivers’ helpers during the year were generally sim ilar to those for truckdrivers.

Hourly wage rates for truckdrivers averaged $4.01 on July 1, 1969, an increase of 22 cents or 5.9 percent during the year. Truckdrivers’ helpers averaged $3.56 an hour, up 19 cents or 5.8 percent. Truckdrivers’ helpers, who com­prised about one-tenth of the workers covered by the survey, were mostly found in general freight, beer and newspaper deliveries, and in construc­tion equipment hauling. Where c o m p a r i s o n s were possible within the same area and truck operation (e.g., beer delivery), wage rates for drivers and their helpers usually varied by 20 cents an hour or less (table 10).

Regional and city averages of the union rates for all types of truckdrivers and helpers covered by collective bargaining agreements within scope of the survey are presented in tables 7 and 8. These averages reflect not only differences in wage rates among individual cities, but dif­ferences in the occupational composition of the two groups. The occupational composition fre­quently has more influence on the area averages than do the actual differences in rates for in­dividual classifications. The average for truck- drivers, for example, may in one city include the rates for several different types of trucks with widely different wage rates; in another city, it may include only 1 or 2 types of trucks for which hourly rates are typically high or low. In such instances, the difference in the averages for the two cities will be large even though the rates for comparable types of trucks may be the same. Table 10 presents, by city, data for specific types of truckdrivers and helpers, and provides the best means of inter­city comparisons at this level.

Weekly work schedules at straight-time rates averaged 40 hours for both truckdrivers and helpers (table 6). Ninety-six percent of the workers in each classification had work sched­ules of 40 hours a week. Work schedules of less than 40 hours (usually 35 or 37-1/2 hours a week) were frequently reported for beer and newspaper delivery, and longer s c h e d u l e s (mostly 45 or 48 hours) were often found for bakery and fuel oil delivery.

Contract provisions for employer-financed health and welfare and pension plans applied to most of the workers covered by the survey. Information, where available, on these plans is presented in table 10 which lists amount of employer contributions to these benefits by city and type of driver or helper.

Scope and Method of Study

Union wage rates and hours are those agreed on through collective bargaining between trade

unions and employers, and are defined as (1) the basic (minimum) rates (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 exceeding 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 rates in effect on July 1, 1969, and covered approximately 320,000 drivers and 35,000 helpers in 68 cities. The study ex­cluded local city drivers paid on a mileage or commission basis and over-the-road drivers operating between cities or various parts of the United States. Data were obtained primarily from local union officials by mail questionnaire; in some instances, Bureau economists visited local union o f f i c i a l s to obtain the desired information.

The current survey was designed to reflect union wage rates of local truckdrivers and helpers in all cities of 100,000 inhabitants or more excluding Honolulu, based on the 1960 Census of Population. All cities with 500,000

inhabitants or more were studied, as were most cities in the 250,000 to 500,000 group. The cities selected for study in the 100,000 to 250,000 group were distributed widely throughout the U n i t e d States. Data for some cities were weighted to compensate for cities which were not surveyed. To provide appropriate representa­tion in the combination of data, each region was considered separately when city weights were assigned.

Average hourly wage rates, designed to show current rate levels, were based on wage rates in effect on July 1, 1969. Individual rates 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 classifications studied. Average cents-per-hour and percent changes from July 1, 1968, to July 1, 1969, how­ever, were based on comparable quotations for the various occupational classifications in both periods, weighted by the membership reported for the current (1969) survey. The index series, designed for trend purposes, was similarly constructed.
