1 Although these industries are commonly considered as continuous-process industries, every company or plant

covered by the agreements studied may not have been on continuous operations. There is no way of knowing this

from the language of the agreement. 2 See Premium Pay for Night, Weekend, and Overtime Work in Major Union Contracts (BLS Bulletin 1251,

1959). An exact comparison cannot be made because of a difference in the composition of two of the industries

studied. In the 1958 analysis, railroad and airline agreements were not included; and all of the printing and publishing agreements were included, while the 1966 study limited agreements in this industry to the newspaper segment.
