Union W ages and Hours:

Building Trades, July 1,1970

Hourly wage rates for union building-trades workers, in cities with 100,000 inhabitants or more, averaged $6.18 on July 1, 1970— up 64 cents, or 11.6 percent, over the previous year. The percentage increase in average rates exceeded that for the 1968-69 period (8.3 percent) and was the largest annual advance since 1945-46 (14.4 percent).

Beginning July 1970, the wage-rate index for build­ing-trades workers was calculated on a 1967=100 base period; the base previously used was 1957-59=100. On the new base (1967=100), the index for July 1970 is 128.81

Nearly all the workers surveyed received wage-rate increases during the year ending July 1, 1970. The amount of the increases varied considerably— nearly one-sixth of the workers received increases of less than 6 percent, while a slightly larger proportion were granted wage adjustments of 17 percent or more. (See table 8.) Cents-per-hour increases during the year are presented in table 9.

Since 1960, union wage rates for construction work­ers advanced at an annual rate of 5.5 percent. The annual rate of increase amounted to 3.8 percent for the first half of the decade, compared with 7.2 percent for the 1965-70 period. The following tabulation shows the pattern of increases for all building-trades workerscom bined, and separately for journeym en and forhelpers and laborers, during the decade.

Among the 24 journeymen trades studied, average wage rates ranged from $7.01 an hour for plumbers to $5.81 for slate and tile roofers on July 1, 1970. (See

table 6.) The range in average wage rates for the nine helper and laborer classifications included in the survey was from $5.46 an hour for terrazzo workers’ helpers to $3.65 for composition roofers’ helpers. Building laborers, who constitute about three-fourths of the workers in the helper-laborer classifications, averaged $4.78 an hour.

Many labor-management agreements for the building trades provide for employer payments to insurance (health and welfare), pensions, and vacation plans. When these payments were added to the basic wage rates, the average for all building-trades workers on July 1, 1970, was $6.97 an hour. Corresponding averages were $7.39 for journeymen and $5.47 for helpers and laborers. The following table shows the importance of employer con­tributions to specified funds as a percent of wage rates for 1965 and 1970 for all workers, journeymen, helpers and laborers, and for selected trades.2

Straight-time workweek schedules averaged 39.2 hours on July 1, 1970, for all building-trades workers com­bined. (See table 5.) A 40-hour weekly schedule was in effect for about 4 of every 5 w orkers. Weekly work schedules of 35 hours, covering nearly all of the remaining workers, were typically reported in Detroit, Newark, New York City, and San Francisco—Oakland. (See table 15.)

Scope and method o f study

Union wage rates and hours are determined by 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 over the negotiated minimum, which may

1 The all trades-index was 186.3 on the 1957-59 base. The U.S. Office of Management and Budget established the new base period for use by Federal Government statistical agencies in line with a long-standing policy that index bases be updated period­ically. The change in base period does not affect percentage changes in the index over time, except for rounding differences.

2 The Bureau first developed average employer contributions per hour in 1965.

The information presented in this bulletin was based on union rates in effect on July 1, 1970, and covered approximately 760,000 journeymen and 205,000 helpers and laborers in 68 cities actually surveyed. 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.

Based on the 1960 Census of Population, the current survey was designed to reflect union wage rates in build­ing construction in all cities having a population of100,000 or more, excluding Honolulu. All cities having a population of a half million or more 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 cities were weighted to com­pensate for cities 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 levels, were based on all rates reported in effect on July 1, 1970. Individual rates were weighted by the number of union members at the 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 were based on comparable quotations for the various occupational classifications in both periods, weighted by the membership reported in the current (1970) survey. The index series, designed for trend pur­poses, was constructed similarly.
