in the wage information submitted by the United Automobile
Workers as representing the minimum wage of trained workers
(sec. (e) above); it also includes the lower level of the
bracket which in the tables submitted by the International
Association of Machinists (Exhibit J) includes most of the
trained workers in the lower wage brackets of the industry.
The Board finds that the 57.5-62.5 cent interval contains
the prevailing minimum wage of trained employees in the
aircraft industry and feels justified in following the
statistical practice of taking the midpoint of this inter-
val as representing the fairest division that can be made
for its purposes, in the absence of specific evidence of
greater concentration of workers at some other point within
the interval.
The Board consequently finds that 60 cents an hour
is the prevailing minimum wage in the aircraft manufacturing
industry as previously defined.
LEARNERS:
In view of the importance of learners in the aircraft
industry and in view of the evidence (1) that the great
majority of the employees are concentrated in plants which have
a starting rate of 40 cents an hour, and (2) that approximately
15% of the employees in the industry are learners, the Board
is of the opinion that a tolerance for learners should be
allowed, and finds that a tolerance of 15% of the total number
of productive employees in any plant represents a reasonable
allowance for employment of learners; and finds further that 40
cents an hour represents the entrance rate for the great
majority of learners in the industry.
