This is the first o f a two-part study o f provisions in construction industry collective 

bargaining agreements. For this study, agreements were selected to represent a variety 

o f construction crafts in large metropolitan areas. In this first bulletin, the prevalences 

o f selected provisions are presented in the form o f tabulations; analytical comments and 

illustrative clauses will follow in the second bulletin. The agreements were selected in 

part from the files o f the Bureau’s Division o f Industrial Relations and were supplemented by agreements on file with the Construction Industry Wage Stabilization 

Committee, whose cooperation and assistance in this study are gratefully acknowledged.

This bulletin was prepared in the Bureau’s Division o f Industrial Relations by 

Winston L. Tillery, Carl A. Batlin, and Edward F. Hanley, Jr.

Introduction

Traditionally, the construction industry has held an 

important position in the national economy, accounting 

for relatively large proportions o f total employment as 

well as gross investment. The industry is characterized 

by several factors which distinguish it from other industries: workmen generally are highly skilled; they are

highly mobile between employers and geographical 

areas; unions are single craft rather than industrial, and 

exercise considerable control over the labor supply; 

many contracting firms are small and highly specialized; 

and employment is subject to seasonal factors and 

rapidly changing construction technologies.

Collective bargaining in the industry has become a 

subject o f increasing interest as exemplified by the 

establishment o f the Construction Industry Stabilization Committee in 1971. But (with the exception o f 

wage rates) relatively little research on the subject has 

been carried on. In the past, the Bureau has included 

construction among the other major industries in its 

studies o f agreement provisions. This bulletin and its 

companion are the Bureau’s first devoted exclusively to 

the construction industry and to the extensive analysis 

o f its collective bargaining agreements.

The 769 agreements chosen for this study covered 

1,213,317 workers, represented by 16 unions, and were

in effect on or after April 1, 1972. This coverage 

compares with an annual average o f 3,521,000 workers 

employed in the construction industry in 1972. Agreements were selected, to the extent they were available, 

for 26 standard construction crafts for each o f the 66 

largest Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas— that is, 

those SMSA’s having 1970 Census populations o f 

500,000 or more. When two or more agreements 

covered the same craft and SMSA, the largest in terms 

o f worker coverage was used.

In this bulletin, tabulations are presented on a wide 

variety o f provisions; some are peculiar to construction, 

others are common to all industries. O f the latter, some 

prevalences do not differ greatly from those o f other 

industries; others indicate a distinct construction industry pattern. A caveat should be inserted— these 

tabulations reflect only our understanding o f the language o f the agreements, which is open to alternative 

interpretations. It is also possible that the terms o f the 

agreements do not necessarily reflect the actual practices on the job site.

In addition to preparing this bulletin, the Bureau’s 

Office o f Wages and Industrial Relations is expanding its 

research in the construction industry with three other 

studies. These include a study o f work stoppages, an 

analysis o f health and retirement plans, and a survey o f 

wage rates and selected fringe benefits.
