Wage Escalation and Inflation
Since the UAW-General Motors negotiations in 1948, wage escalator clauses have become quite common in collective agreements in the basic mass-production industries. Usually, such clauses have been accepted by managements as the price for long-term agreements. In recent months, however, there has been a reaction, among management groups especially, against the continuance of the escalator clause, and attempts have been made to eliminate such provi…

Economic Concentration and Price Inflexibility
Although Means had compiled concentration and data for 94 industries, he based his conclusions on the chart covering 37 industries reproduced by Blair (page 427). Actually, in the original study,3 price data in relation to Census classification were considered adequate or fair for 7I industries serving national markets and for I3 industries serving other types of markets; data were poor for only 9 industries.4 In his presentation, Dr. Blair omitt…

Wage-Productivity Comparisons
The economic issue of distributing the gains from increased productivity has long been a vital one at almost every level of labor-management relations. Appropriate measures of productivity and of earnings, particularly at company and industry levels, are technical matters on which there is no common agreement, even among disinterested students of labor relations and collective bargaining. The author of this article argues for a broad definition o…

Multi-Employer Bargaining and Relative Wage Costs
mHE literature dealing with industry-wide or multi-employer bargaining associates this bargaining with various characteristics of industries. Factors that have been emphasized as conditioning the form of collective bargaining which has evolved include relative labor costs, nature of the product market, extent of competition, number of firms, nature of production process, structure of the union, etc. Many writers stress the significance of relativ…
Automatic Annual Improvement Provisions
ONE of the outstanding developments in collective bargaining in I948 was the General Motors contract with the United Automobile Workers.' Two phases of this contract led to considerable discussion: (a) the cost of living adjustment clause and (b) the annual improvement factor for each of the two years for which the contract was drawn. Cost of living clauses are not unique in labor contracts.2 The inclusion of an annual improvement factor in the c…
