Preface

The Bureau of Labor Statistics conducts annual surveys of union wage rates and weekly straight-time hours of work for specified crafts or jobs in the construction, printing, local transit, and local trucking industries. A biennial survey of grocery stores also is included in this program. These studies present the wage rates in effect on the first workday in July, as reported to the Bureau by the appropriate local labor organization officials in each of the 70 cities surveyed.

Preliminary listings of union wage rates and hours for printing trades employees in each of the cities surveyed were issued earlier. Copies of individual city listings are available from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Washington, D.C. 20212, or any of its regional offices listed on the inside back cover of this bulletin.

This study was conducted in the Bureau’s Office o f Wages and Industrial Relations. Field work for the survey was directed by the Assistant Regional Commissioners for Operations. Mary Kay Rieg of the Division of Occupational Wage Structures prepared this bulletin, which provides a comprehensive account of the current study, and also includes indexes of wage rates for printing trades employees from 1907 to 1975.

Printing Industry, July 1,1975

Summary

Average union wage rates for printing trades workers in cities of at least 100,000 inhabitants increased 8.5 percent between July 1, 1974, and July 1, 1975. This increase was somewhat greater than the 8.1-percent gain reported for printing trades workers one year earlier and much higher than the 6.3-percent rise in July 1972-73. (Over the year ending July 1975, the increase in the national Consumer Price Index was 9.7 percent.)

Union wage rates for printing trades workers averaged $7.36 an hour on July 1, 1975. Day-shift workers in commercial lithography shops averaged $8.14, compared with $7.57 for workers in newspaper plants ($7.36 if limited to day-shift trades), and $6.86 for day-shift workers in book and job shops.

Among the nine regions studied separately, the highest average wage rates were in the Middle Atlantic States; lowest averages were in the Southwest. Grouped by population size, the largest cities (1 million inhabitants or more) had the top wage levels, and the smallest cities (100,000 to 250,000) had the lowest. Among these regions and size groups, however, considerable overlapping of individual city averages was noted.

Industry characteristics

T y p e o f es ta b lish m en t. Workers studied were employed in 1 of 3 types of printing establishments: (1) Book and job shops, which print books and fill many different types of small printing orders; (2) newspaper shops, which produce a large volume of newsprint rapidly at very low cost per unit; and (3) commercial lithographic shops, which mass-produce items of high quality (e.g., catalogs, magazines, etc.) for wide distribution.

Processes. Three major printing processes are in common use today. The oldest and most widely used is the relief or letterpress method, in which the image to be printed is carried on a surface raised above the rest of the printing plate. The image areas are inked, and the printing plate is pressed against paper and removed; the ink image left on the paper is allowed to dry.

In the intaglio, or gravure process, the image to be printed is depressed into the surface of the printing plate. The entire surface of the plate is flooded with ink, then scraped with a “doctor” blade, a procedure which leaves ink only in the depressed image areas. Images are transferred when the paper against which the printing plate is pressed drinks up ink from the depressions.

The third and fastest growing process is lithographic printing, in which images are transferred from a plane or flat surface wrapped around a drum, rather than from depressions or elevations on the printing plate. The image area on the plate is treated chemically to accept printing ink; the nonimage area is treated to repel ink. After the plate has been inked, it is pressed against a rubber surface or “blanket,” which accepts the image without wearing down the surface of the printing plate, as paper does in letterpress printing. The blanket is then used to impress the image onto paper in an operation called “offset.”

S ta g es o f p ro d u c tio n . The workers covered by this survey may be grouped according to their involvement in 1 of the 3 major stages of production. (See chart.)

The image transference or preparatory group imposes the original textual and illustrative material to be reproduced on a printing medium (e.g., a printing plate) which can be used on a press. These occupations include: Hand and machine compositors, photoengravers, stereotypers, electrotypers, lithographic artists, camera operators, strippers, and platemakers.

The pressroom group consists of press operators, press assistants, and feeders. This group mounts the image carriers on presses, feeds the presses with paper and ink, supervises the quality of the printing done, and performs routine maintenance on the pressroom machinery.

The finishing group is made up of bookbinders, bindery workers, and mailers. They bind the printed pages into books and pamphlets, assemble and wrap newspapers and magazines, or otherwise prepare printed materials for mailing and distribution.

Developments in printing equipment during recent years are producing significant changes in the size and

occupational composition of the industry’s work force.1 These technological innovations include: Computers which automatically justify lines of text; phototypesetting machines, which enable a specially trained typist to set text in film without the expensive manufacture of metallic type; advanced photographic techniques, which improve color separation—an essential aspect of the reproduction of multicolor subjects; automatic film processing systems; electronically controlled printing presses; and bindery machinery which does many operations formerly done by hand. These and other forms of automation are designed to increase print shop efficiency but they may limit employment opportunities in the printing industry, despite continued growth in demand for printed material.

Moreover, automation modifies, and in some cases lowers, skill requirements for printing trades workers. Functions which formerly called for extensive hand crafting—the setting of metallic type, the etching of plates, and the binding of books, to name a few-are largely carried out today by a smaller work force trained in computer programming, keypunching, monitoring of electronic equipment, and the operation of various specialized machines.

U n io n iza tio n . Four printing trades unions represent virtually all of the workers studied. Hand compositors, machine operators, and machine tenders belong to the International Typographical Union (ITU). The Graphic Arts International Union (GAIU), resulting from the September 1972 merger of the Lithographers’ and Photoengravers’ International Union (LPIU) with the International Brotherhood o f Bookbinders (IBB), covers bindery workers, bookbinders, photoengravers, and most craft workers under commercial lithography ™ntra^tc Press operators and press assistants outside or commercial lithography, electrotypers, and stereotypers are members of the International Printing and Graphic Communications Union (IPGCU), an organization created in October 1973 from the former International Printing Pressmen and Assistants Union (IPP&AU) and the International Stereotypers’ and Electrotypers’ Union (ISEU). Most mailers belong to the International Mailers’ Union (IMU).

Survey findings

Wage trends. Average union wage rates for printing trades workers advanced 8.5 percent, or 57 cents, over

the year ending July 1, 1975. This increase, up from the8.1 percent for the year ending July 1, 1974, brought the Bureau’s index o f basic (minimum) union wage rates for all printing trades to 179.8 (1967=100). The wage index for book and job workers was 180.8 and the corresponding index for newspaper workers, 179.0 (table 1).

The July-July increase for all printing trades workers was somewhat below the 9-percent wage gain reported for all workers under major collective bargaining agreements (those covering at least 1,000 workers) for the same period. Since 1965, union wage rates for printing trades workers have risen at an average annual rate o f 6.8 percent. The annual rate of increase averaged 5.5 percent for 1965-70, contrasted with 8.2 percent for the 1970-75 period. (See text table 1 for yearly increases.)

Over the year July 1974-75, the purchasing power of wage rates for printing trades workers fell an average of1.2 percent; the 8.5-percent rise in wage rates was more than offset by the 9.7-percent advance in the National Consumer Price Index. The July 1975 index o f real wages in the industry was only 111.1 on the 1967 base; real wage declines occurred in each of the last 2 years. The tabulation below shows the movement o f real wages for all printing trades workers over the past decade:

Current-dollar wage rates for slightly more than nine- tenths of the workers studied increased over the year July 1, 1974-75. Increases for the middle 50 percent of the workers who received wage adjustments ranged from 6.7 to 11.2 percent. (See table 8 for distribution of workers by percent o f wage increase.)

Workers in book and job shops had the largest annual increase, 8.8 percent, followed closely by those in lithography shops (8.4 percent) and newspapers (8.2 percent) (table 5). Advances in pay scales over the year ending July 1, 1975, were recorded for a larger percentage of commercial lithography workers (99 percent) than for those in either book and job (94 percent) or newspaper shops (85 percent) (table 7). In commercial lithography more than in other industry branches, cost-of-living in-

creases were a factor in the average rise in pay scales. Variations from year to year in the proportion of workers receiving wage increases also result from variations in the timing of negotiations. For example, extended negotiations in major cities—among them New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Boston—past the July 1, 1975, reference date lowered the incidence of workers receiving wage increases over the year in the newspaper sector.

In d u s tr y averages. Among the three industry branches, day-shift workers in commercial lithography, at $8.14, averaged the most, compared with $7.57 for workers in newspaper plants ($7.36 if limited to day-shift rates), and $6.86 for workers on day shifts in book and job shops (table 6).

Even though the overall wage level was 50 cents an hour higher for daywork on newspapers than in book and job shops, comparison of daywork rates for six occupations common to both types o f printing2 showed higher levels in the book and job sector in all instances but one. For the lithographic jobs permitting comparison (camera operators, platemakers, and strippers), wage averages were higher in commercial lithographic shops than in book and job shops.

Varying skill requirements accounted for some of the difference among national averages for the three types of printing establishments studied. For example, nearly one-fifth of all book and job workers were concentrated in low-paying, semiskilled bindery occupations involving mainly routine tasks. Had the wage rates of these workers been excluded, the July 1975 average for book and

2 H and co m p o sito rs , m ach in e op era tors, m ach in e tenders (m a ch in ists), m ailers, p h otoen gravers, and stereo typers.

job shops would have been nearly 58 cents an hour higher. Newspaper and commercial lithographic operations showed relatively higher averages, partly because they employed larger proportions of skilled journeymen.

Prevalence of nightwork in newspaper shops also boosted the average for that industry branch, as noted previously. More than one-half of the newspaper workers studied on July 1, 1975, were reported on night shifts. Nationwide, the overall differential for nightwork over daywork in newspaper plants averaged 41 cents an hour. Nightshift differentials were found in all 65 cities with unionized newspaper trades; the size of such differentials, and the proportion of workers receiving them, however, varied by city and trade.

In addition, pay differences among industry branches resulted from the way workers were distributed among the cities surveyed, as well as from industry pay relationships within cities. Text table 3 illustrates variations in industry pay relationships and employment mix among the six largest cities studied (those having 1 million inhabitants or more). For example, the six largest cities showed an 8-percent differential between average rates in lithography and those in book and job shops; the differential between these two industry branches for all cities studied was 18 percent. Although lithography was typically the highest paying industry branch, in New York City, where the largest concentration of printing trades workers was found, it was the lowest paying of the three industry branches.

O cc u p a tio n a l averages. On the national level, average wage rates for the occupations surveyed in book and job shops ranged from $4.50 for bindery workers to $8.38 for photoengravers. The range of average daywork rates in newspapers was $6.93 for mailers to $7.98 for photoengravers. In commercial lithography shops, press assistants and feeders averaged the least ($7.27); offset press operators recorded the highest average ($8.47), as well as the highest day-shift rate for the survey as a whole (table 5).

R e g io n a l a n d c i t y averages. Regionally, average wage rates for all printing trades workers studied ranged from $5.88 in the Southwest to $7.82 in the Middle Atlantic States. The Southwest also accounted for the lowest average in each of the three industry branches—$5.46 in book and job shops, $6.07 in newspaper plants, and $5.97 in commercial lithography. Middle Atlantic averages in book and job establishments ($7.46) and newspapers ($8.24) were highest among the regions, but the Great Lakes led the Nation in commercial lithography scales ($8.64) (table 10).

Larger cities tended to have higher wage rates for printing trades employees than smaller cities. On July 1,

1975, workers in cities of at least 1,000,000 inhabitants averaged 12 percent more ($8.12) than those in cities of500.000 to 1,000,000 ($7.22); 15 percent more than those in cities of 250,000 to 500,000 ($7.05); and 26 percent more than those in cities of 100,000 to 250,000 ($6.45)(table 12). However, considerable overlapping of city averages among population groupings in the survey was noted. For example, Fresno, a city of the smallest size group studied, recorded an average wage ($7.96) higher than 4 o f the 6 cities of 1 million inhabitants or more. On the other hand, Houston, one o f the 6 largest cities, averaged less ($6.52) than 20 o f the 44 cities of100.000 to 500,000 inhabitants. As is evident from other BLS occupational wage surveys, location, geographic concentration of the various industry branches, and the bargaining power of individual union locals can be more important than population size in explaining wage rate variations.

Regional and city averages are influenced by various factors, including differences in the occupational composition for a given industry branch among and within cities, due to the type of printing demand. Also, a partic

ular craft may not be covered by a collective bargainingagreement in some cities and thus this craft is not recorded for the survey, whereas all or part of the workers in the craft may be covered in other cities. Table 16 presents, by city and industry branch, the most detailed wage rates available for specific occupations.

H ou rs o f w o r k a n d su p p le m e n ta ry ben efits . Weekly hours paid at straight-time rates averaged 35.9 for all printing trades workers in the survey. Straight-time workweeks o f 35 hours applied to over two-fifths o f the workers; nearly three-tenths were required to work 3 1 lA hours per week before overtime premium pay became effective. Straight-time hours averaged about 36 per week in book and job shops and newspaper establishments, and 35 per week in lithography (table 9).

Contract provisions for paid vacations and employer- financed health, welfare, and pension plans applied to most of the workers covered by the study. Where available, information on the amounts employers contributed to insurance and pension plans is presented by city and trade in table 16.

1 Average rates based on all rates in effect July 1, 1975; each union rate was weighted by the number of union members at each reported rate.

2 Based on comparable quotations for 1974 and 1975, and weighted by the number of union members at each reported quotation in 1975.

3 Relatively few workers in book and job or lithography shops were employed on nightwork; therefore, data on such workers were excluded from the survey.

NOTE: Variations in the size of annual increases from survey to survey may reflect, in part, variations in timing of negotiations. Wage rates and increases indicated reflect rates available and payable on the survey date, and do not include increases made later that are retroactive to July 1 or before. Such retroactive increases are included in the wage rates reported in the following year's survey.

Appendix: Scope and method of survey

Union wage rates and hours reported in this bulletin were agreed on through collective bargaining between trade unions and employers. The rates $re defined as (1) the basic (minimum) wage rates (excluding holiday, vacation, or other benefit payments made regularly 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 be paid for special qualifications or for other reasons, are excluded.

Information presented in this bulletin is based on union rates in effect on July 1, 1975, reported for approximately 97,300 printing trades workers in 70 cities studied. 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 survey was designed to reflect union wage rates of printing industry employees in all cities of 100,000 inhabitants or more (according to the 1970 Census of Population), excluding Honolulu. All cities that had500,000 inhabitants or more were included, as were most cities with 250,000 to 500,000 inhabitants. Data for some cities were weighted to compensate for cities

not surveyed. To provide appropriate regional representation, each region was considered separately when city weights were assigned.

Average wage rates, designed to show current levels, were based on wage rates reported in each city on July 1, 1975. Each wage rate was weighted by the totalv number of union members at the rate in the area. In the book and job and lithography branches, wage-rate averages were developed only from the daywork (first-shift) rates weighted by union members at these rates; in the newspaper branch, members at nightwork or second- shift rates were also included in the averages. Rates for third or “lobster” shifts, however, are excluded from the scope of this survey.

These averages were not designed for precise year-to- year comparisons because of fluctuations in membership in the classifications studied. Average cents-per-hour and percent changes from July 1, 1974, to July 1, 1975, however, were based on comparable quotations for the various job classifications in both periods, and weighted by the memberships reported for the current (1975) survey. The index series, designed for trend purposes, was constructed similarly.
