  • Union Wages and Hours: Motortruck Drivers and Helpers, July 1, 1960

    Summary

    Union hourly wage scales o f loca l m otor truck drivers and helpers advanced an average of 10.8 cents, or 4. 3 percent, in cities o f 100,000 or m ore population during the year ending July 1, I960.

    Higher wage scales were reported for nine-tenths of the m otortruck drivers and helpers included in the Bureau of Labor Statistics 25th annual survey of union sca les in lo ca l city trucking. Increases ranged from 10 to 15 cents an hour for slightly m ore than tw o-fifths of the w orkers. 1 Hourly advances of 5 to 10 cents applied to a fifth of the w orkers as did those of 15 cents or m ore.

    Union hourly scales for loca l m otortruck drivers and helpers averaged $2.65 on July 1, I960. Hourly rates of $ 2. 50 to $ 2. 75 were specified in labor-m anagem ent agreem ents for alm ost tw o-fifths of the w orkers. Contract scales of $ 2. 25 to $ 2. 50 w ere applicable to nearly a fifth of the drivers and h e lp ers , and those o f $2. 75 to $ 3 to a slightly larger proportion. Slightly m ore than a tenth of the w orkers had negotiated rates o f $ 3 or m ore an hour.

    The trend toward a shorter straight-tim e workweek continued, averaging 40. 1 hours on July 1, I960, com pared with 40. 2 hours a year earlier. W orkweeks of 40 hours were predominant and affected 9 of every 10 w orkers.

    Health and insurance provisions w ere contained in contracts covering nine-tenths of the drivers and h elpers. Pension plans w ere incorporated in labor-management agreem ents applicable to three-fourths of the w orkers.

    Scope and Method of Study

    Union scales are defined as the minimum basic wage scales (excluding holiday, vacation, or other benefit payments regularly made or credited to the w orker each pay period) or maximum schedules of straight-tim e hours agreed upon through co llective bargaining

    1 F or ease of reading in this and subsequent discussions of tabulations, the lim its of class intervals are designated as 10 to 15 cents, 3 to 4 percent, etc. , instead o f using the m ore precise term inology "10 and under 15 cents, 3 and under 4 p e rce n t," etc.

    between trade unions and em ployers. Rates in excess of the negotiated m inim um , which may be paid for specia l qualifications or other rea son s , are not included.

    The inform ation presented in this report was based on union scales in effect on July 1, I960, and covered approxim ately 275,000 drivers and 38,000 helpers in 52 cities with populations of 100,000 or m ore . L oca l city drivers paid on a m ileage or com m ission basis and over-th e -roa d drivers operating between cities or various parts o f the United States w ere excluded from the study. Data w ere obtained from loca l union offic ia ls p r i m arily by m ail questionnaire; in som e cit ie s , data were obtained from regional or loca l o f fic ia ls o f the union by Bureau representatives.

    The current survey was designed to r e flect union wage scales of loca l m otortruck drivers and helpers in all cities of 100,000 or m ore population. A ll cities with 500,000 or m ore population were included, as w ere m ost cities in the 250,000-500,000 group. The cities in the 100,000-250,000 group s e lected for study were distributed widely throughout the United States. The data for som e of the cities included in the study in the two sm aller size groups w ere weighted to com pensate for cities which were not surveyed. In order to provide appropriate representation in the combination o f data, each geographic region and population group was considered separately when city weights w ere assigned.

    The averages computed on the basis of hourly sca les are designed to show current rate levels in effect on July 1, I960. Individual scales are weighted by the number o f union m em bers having each rate. These averages are not designed for p rec ise y ea r- to -yea r com parisons because of fluctuations in m em bership and in classifications studied. A verage cen ts-per-hou r and percent changes from July 1, 1959* to July 1, I960, are based on com parable quotations for the various occupational classifications in both period s, weighted by the m em bership reported for the current survey. The index se r ie s , designed for trend p u rp oses , is s im ilarly constructed.

    Wage Scale Changes and Trend

    The 4 . 3-percent in crease in average sca les o f unionized m otortruck drivers and helpers was slightly sm aller than the 4. 7- percent gain recorded in the preceding year.

  • 2As o f July 1, I960, the Bureau*s index o funion hourly wage rates for m otortruck d riv ers and helpers was 88. 3 percent above the average for the years 194749 (table 1).

    R eflected in the advance w ere in creases o f 4. 2 percent for drivers and o f 4. 3 percent for helpers. Although the rate o f advance was quite sim ilar for both groups o f w orkers , the gain, in term s of cents per hour, was 1 cent m ore for drivers than for helpe r s ---- 10.9 cents com pared with 9 .9 cents(table 4).

    Wage scale changes for loca l trucking w orkers w ere achieved prim arily through negotiations on contract expirations or reopenings. The tendency to negotiate labor-m an agement contracts of m ore than a year*s duration continued to prevail. Of the con tracts in effect on July 1, I960, many werefor 2 or 3 years, some fo r longer periods. M ultiyear contracts usually provide for wage reopenings or for interim deferred in creases. Only those scale changes which actually b e cam e effective between July 1, 1959, andJuly 1, I960, were included in the survey.Some of the adjustments reflected in the survey w ere negotiated prior to July 1, 1959.Excluded from the survey were negotiated increa ses effective after July 1, I960. Thus,the scale changes presented in this report do not re fle ct the total wage adjustments negotiated in individual contracts during the year.

    Rate revisions were extensive during the 12-month period for both drivers and helpers. Nine-tenths o f the w orkers in each of these classifica tion s had their scale adjusted upward between July 1, 1959, and July 1, I960. Scale advances ranged from 10 to 15 centr an hour for alm ost half of the drivers and for a third o f the helpers. Advances of less than 10 cents an hour affected about a fourth of the drivers and three-eighths of the h e lpers; and those of 15 to 20 cents, a tenth of the drivers and a seventh o f the helpers. The upward adjustment amounted to 20 cents or m ore for a tenth of the drivers and a twentieth of the helpers (table 3). In percentage term s, the advances represented gains o f 4 to 5 percent for tw o-fifths of the drivers and a fourth of the helpers, of 3 to 4 percent fo r an eighth o f the truckdrivers and for alm ost a fourth of the helpers, and of 5 to 6 percent for about an eighth o f the w orkers in both class ifica tion s. Rates advanced 6 percent or m ore for about a fifth of both the drivers and helpers (table 2).

    On a regional basis, advances in a v erage sca les fo r loca l m otortruck drivers ranged from 9 to 12 cents an hour in all regions except New England and the P a cific . In these regions, average hourly sca les in creased 6 and 18 cents, respectively . The rate o f gain was 2. 5 percent in New England, 6. 4 in the P a cific , and from 3. 5 to 5 percent in the other regions. Among drivers* helpers, the greatest advance was in the P acific region where average hourly sca les in creased 20. 5 cents or 8. 3 percent. In all other regions, the in crease in average hourly sca les ranged from 5 to 11 cents; in percentage term s, the gain ranged from 3. 2 percent in New England to 5. 9 percent in the Southwest (table 4).

    Higher wage sca les were indicated for at least som e loca l m otortruck drivers in each o f the 52 cities studied. The increase in the average hourly sca les showed wide variation among the individual cit ies , ranging from 4 cents in Newark to 29 cents in San F rancisco Oakland. A verage scale advances of 10 to 12 cents were reg istered in 27 c it ies , o f 12 to 14 cents in 7 cit ies , and of 14 cents or m ore in 5 c it ies . A verage rates increased for helpers on m otortrucks in each of the 45 cities for which inform ation was reported for truckers* helpers. The advance ranged from 10 to 12 cents in 15 cit ies , from 8 to 10 cents in 8 cities, and from 6 to 8 cents in 10 others. In eight cit ies , average scales advanced 12 cents or m ore (table 4).

    On a percentage basis, the rate o f gain ranged from 3 to 5 percent in about three of every five cities for both drivers and helpers; 5 percent or m ore in one o f every four cities for drivers and in one o f every three for helpers.

    The increases in some of the cities were partly attributable to provisions o f contracts negotiated on a broad regional basis for num erically im portant groups of trucking w orkers. These contracts provide for in creases in rates and reductions in weekly hours at stated intervals over a period o f several years, until previously determ ined rates and work schedules are attained.

    Union sca les in effect on July 1, I960,for loca l m otortruck drivers and helpers averaged $ 2. 65 an hour $ 2. 68 for drivers and $ 2 .3 8 for helpers riding on trucks. L abor- management agreem ents stipulated hourly rates o f $ 2 .5 0 to $ 2 .7 5 for tw o-fifths of the drivers; of $ 2. 75 to $ 3 for a fourth; o f $ 2. 25 to $ 2 .5 0 for a sixth; and of $3 or m ore for

  • 3an eighth. Negotiated rates o f $ 2 .2 5 to $ 2 .5 0 an hour w ere specified for three- eighths o f the helpers; o f $ 2 to $ 2 .2 5 for alm ost a fourth; of $ 2 .5 0 to $ 2 .7 5 for a fifth; and o f $ 2. 75 or m ore for a tenth (table 5).

    City and Regional Scale Levels

    Although broad regional agreem ents w ere negotiated for som e types o f loca l trucking, negotiations fo r m ost of the labor-m anagement contracts w ere conducted on a locality basis. Wage sca les , therefore, varied widely among the individual cit ies . Wage scales are also affected by size and type of truck and the kind of com m odities hauled within individual cities . Because o f varying classifications and term inology used in individual cities, it is im possib le to present separate averages by type o f com m odity or industry, o r by type and size o f truck. Hence, the city and regional averages shown in this report relate to all loca l drivers and /or helpers, combined.

    Average hourly sca les for m otortruck d rivers among the individual cities studied ranged from $ 2. 17 in New Orleans to $3 .11 in San Francis co-Oakland. Rates averaged$ 2. 50 to $ 2. 75 in 30 c it ie s ; $ 2. 25 to $ 2 .5 0 in 11 cit ies ; and $ 2 .7 5 or m ore in 8 others. F or helpers, hourly scales averaged highest ($3) in San F ranciscoOakland and lowest ($ 1.25) in Knoxville. Average hourly scales o f $ 2. 50 or m ore prevailed in 11 o f the r e maining 43 cities reporting helpers riding on trucks, and ranged from $ 2. 25 to $ 2 .5 0 in 19 cities, and from $2 to $ 2 .2 5 in 7 others (table 6).

    Grouping the cities according to population size shows that average hourly scales varied by size o f city and that the variation was greater for drivers than for helpers. The average scale for d rivers was highest ($2 .74 ) in the group o f cities with 1 m illion or m ore population and lowest ($ 2. 56) in the 100, 000 to 250, 000 population group, the sm allest size studied. For the other two groups, 250, 000 to 500, 000 and 500, 000 to 1 m illion population, the averages w ere $ 2. 65 and $ 2 .7 0 , respectively . Scales for helpers in the group o f cities with 250, 000 to 500, 000 population averaged $2 .41 an hour, 1 cent m ore than the next la rger size group, and $ 2. 38 and $ 2. 33, respectively , in the largest and sm allest size population groups (table 6).

    Average scales for both classifications of w orkers overlapped among cities in the different size population groups. For ex ample, the average scale for truckdrivers in Seattle ($ 2 .86 ) in the 250,000-500,000 population group was exceeded by only one city in each o f the two larger size groups.

    On a regional basis, hourly sca les for loca l m otortruck drivers averaged highest ($ 2 .9 1 ) in the P acific region and lowest ($ 2. 37) in the Mountain region. The national average o f $ 2. 68 for d rivers was also ex ceeded in the Great Lakes region. Among helpers, average hourly sca les ranged from $ 1.28 in the Southeast to $ 2. 69 in the P acific region. Scales averaged m ore than $2 . 20 an hour in five of the seven remaining regions (table 7).

    Standard WorkweekStraight-tim e workweeks w ere reported

    for virtually all o f the loca l m otortruck drivers and helpers included in the survey and averaged 40. 1 hours on July 1, I960,com pared with 40. 2 hours on July 1, 1959.The Bureau's index of weekly hours for drivers and helpers re flects the movement toward a shorter workweek. On July 1, I960, the index was 7 .7 percent below the 194749 level.

    Weekly straight-tim e work schedules of 40 hours w ere in effect fo r nine-tenths o f the d rivers and the same proportion of helpers. Workweek schedules of m ore than 40 hours w ere specified in agreem ents fo r about 1 o f every 16 w orkers on loca l m otortrucks (table 8).

    Health, Insurance, and Pension PlansAgreem ents providing for health and w e l

    fare program s w ere applicable to nine-tenths of the d rivers and helpers engaged in the loca l trucking industry. Pension plan provisions w ere contained in agreem ents covering three- fourths of the w orkers. 2 Plans financed entire ly by the em ployers affected m ore than 95 percent of the w orkers covered by such p rov is ion s .

    Union Scales by City and C lassificationUnion sca les o f wages and hours in effect

    on July 1, 1959> and July 1, I960, together with the amount of em ployer contributions to health, insurance, and pension plans on July 1, I960, for the individual classifications in each o f the 52 cities included in the study are p re sented in table 9.

    2 The prevalence o f negotiated health, insurance, and pension program s for loca l m otortruck drivers and helpers was first studied by the Bureau in July 1954. In form ation for these plans was restricted to those financed entirely by the em ployer or jointly by the w orkers and em ployers. Plans financed by w orkers through union dues or a s s e s s ments w ere excluded from the study. No attempt was made to secure inform ation on the kind and extent o f benefits provided or on expenditures for such benefits.
