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 f o u r 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 in each city is available in October of each year on request to the Bureau's regional offices as shown on the inside back cover. A release summarizing the rates for local-transit operating employees on a nationwide basis was issued in November 1967. This analysis provides additional data and indexes of the trend of wages and hours for 1929-67.

This study was conducted in the Bureau's Office of Wages and Industrial Relations. The bulletin was prepared by Thomas C. Mobley, under the general supervision of Alvin Bauman.

Local-Transit Operating Employees, July 1, 1967

Summary

Hourly wage scales of unionized local- transit operating employees averaged $3.22 on July 1, 1967, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics annual survey of such scales in cities of 100, 000 population or more. Hourly scales averaged $3.18 for operators of surface equipment, who accounted for about 90 percent of all the workers covered by the survey, and $3.57 for operators of elevated and subway equipment.

All but 6 percent of the operating employees had scales of at least $2.50 an hour. Hourly scales of $2.50 to $3 were in effect for one-fifth of the workers, $3 to $3.50 for almost one-half, and $3.50 or more for slightly more than one-fourth. Among operators of surface equipment, scales ranged from $3 to $3.50 an hour for almost one- half, and $3.50 or more for one-fourth. Hourly scales of elevated and subway operators were more concentrated. One-third were about evenly divided among three intervals: $3 to $3.20, $3.20 to $3.30, and $3.30to $3.40. Nearly three-tenths had scales between $3.40 and $3.50; rates of $3.50 or more were in effect for about two-fifths of the operators.

The average scale advanced 6.8 percent during the year ending July 1, 1967, andbrought the Bureau's index of such scales to 146.6 (1957—59 = 100). This was the largest relative increase since July 1, 1952. The20-cent increase in the average was the largest cents-per-hour increase recorded since 1929, when these surveys began. Upward scale adjustments, primarily resulting from either newly negotiated collective bargaining agreements or deferred increases negotiated earlier, were received by 97 percent of the workers. One-tenth received increases of less than 3 percent; one-fourth each had scale advances of 3 to 5 percent and 5 to 7 percent; more than one-fourth had their scales increased 11 to 12 percent. For operators of surface cars and buses, the average scale rose 6.3 percent, or 19 cents an hour. For elevated and subway operators the increase was 10.6 percent, or 34 cents an hour.

Straight-time w e e k l y work schedules were reported for surface equipment operators in 52 of the 67 cities included in the survey. These schedules, applicable to 92

percent of the operators, averaged 40.2 hours on July 1, 1967, the same as a year earlier. A scheduled straight-time workweek of 40 hours, which was in effect in about 4 of every 5 cities reporting such workweeks, applied to 7 of every 8 operators of surface equipment and to all operators of elevated and subway equipment.

All but 5 percent of the local-transit operating employees were covered by contracts which provided for health, insurance, and pension plans financed either entirely or in part by the employer. Health and insurance plans financed entirely by the employer covered slightly more than one-half the workers; pension plans so financed covered about three-fifths.

Scope and Method of Study

Union scales in this bulletin are those scales agreed on through collective bargaining between trade unions and employers, and are 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 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 scales in effect on July 1, 1967, and covered approximately 64,000 local- transit operating employees in 67 cities that had populations of 100, 000 or more. Trackmen and maintenance workers were excluded from the study. Operating employees of municipally owned transit systems were included, if unions acted as the bargaining agents. Data were obtained primarily from local union officials by mail questionnaire; in some instances, Bureau representatives visited local union officials to obtain the desired information.

The current survey was designed to reflect union wage scales of local-transit operating employees in all cities of 100, 000 population or more (excluding Honolulu). All cities that had 500, 000 population or more were included, as were most cities in the 250, 000—500, 000 group. The cities in the 100, 000—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 geographic region was considered separately when city weights were assigned.

In addition to data for the 67 cities surveyed, table 9 contains information on wage and hour scales in cities which were within the scope of the survey but were not studied. This information, obtained from secondary sources, was not used in any of the other tables.

Average hourly scales, designed to show current levels, were based on all scales reported in effect on July 1, 1967. Individualscales 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 the classifications studied. Average cents-per-hour and percent changes from July 1, 1966, to July 1, 1967, however, were based on comparable quotations for the various classifications in both periods, weighted by the membership reported for the current (1967) survey. The index series, designed for trend purposes, was constructed similarly.
