Excerpt from Union Scale of Wages and Hours of Labor in Massachusetts, 1913
This report deals chiefly with time-rates,1 which are in nearly all cases minimum rates and not actual or maximum rates. Trade unions which fix rates Of wages usually establish one rate as a standard minimum for all of their members engaged in a specific occupation, such a rate being ordinarily applied to the work upon which the member is engaged rather than to the member as an individual. Members are allowed, how ever, to receive more than the minimum rate, such excess over the mini mum being usually determined by individual negotiation, but any member who works for less than the minimum rate is in most instances liable to punishment for violation of union rules.
