The International Association of Machinists submitted
wage data summarizing minimum wages written into contracts with
three manufacturers employing 4,759 workers (Exhibit N), and
the wage contracts from which the tabular data were derived
(Exhibits K, L, M). A further and more comprehensive table
(Exhibit J) covering wage data representing 706 employees was
also presented.
The Board is of the opinion that the wage data re-
ferred to under (1), (2) and (3) above, supplemented by other
testimony in the record are sufficient for the finding of the
prevailing minimum wage.
WAGE STRUCTURE:
l. PRODUCT DIFFERENTIALS:
An examination of the wage data supplied by the
Aeronautical Chamber of Commerce, classified on the basis of
products covered, namely, aircraft, engines, propellers,
instruments, parts and accessories (Exhibit G), reveals
certain differences in the respective wage levels. These
differences are readily brought out by determining separately
for each product how far the first 25% and the first 50% of
the workers reach in the wage scale. This determination may
be made by the simple statistical operation of locating the
wage interval into which fall the first quartiles and the
medians of the wage frequency table.
The following table shows the different wage levels
existing in the manufacture of the various aeronautical
products as determined by the method just set forth:
