FEBRUARY DATE :
WILL NOT APPLY
TO TANDEM WAGES
!
Leonard S. Evans, Alaska repre
?ci. :,iive for the U. S. Department)
nf Labor, today announced a Wage
Stabilization Board decision which
he said would be of interest to lo
cal contractors and business oper
ators.
The WSB has voted not to apply !
the February 9, 1951, cutoff date
cn tai.t em wage increase cases cur
rently before the board, pending a
r'eview of General Wage Regulation
10 which covers such cases.
Tandem cases are those, Evans
:xplained. in which the general
rate increases of some employee
units are dependent upon, and gov
erned by, agreements, negotiations
and rate movements of other em
ployee units of the same employer,
or of other employers in the same
industry and laoor market area.
it or example, he said, the white
col<ar employee of a company may
traditionally receive the same in
crease which is negotiated initially
for production workers, or increas
es for one unit of a production
group may be based on adjustments
granted to another unit of the
same group.
Regulation 10, issued March 8
authorized that tandem wage in
creases would have automatically
been put into effect and would be
applicable to work performed on or
before February 9, 1951, except for
tjie January 25 vage “freeze" or
der. The regulation also provides
that proof of tandem relationship
be Submitted to the executive dir
ector of WSB.
Members of the boar<J, Evans
said, felt it would haye been in
equitable to terminate tandem ad
justments arbitrarily as of a cer
tain date. Hence, cases op ffle will
be processed without reference to
the February 9 date, provided tan
dem relationship is established as
required by general wage regulation
10.
