In response to a telephone request from) on
October 16, 1984, the following information is provided regarding
the 1984 wage increases for GPO's bargaining unit employees.
The wage increase for June"'-18, 1984, was based on the percentage
increase in the CPI-W for March 1983 to March 1984 with a cap of
5 percent.
In February 1984, the Bureau of Labor Statistics corrected the 1983
CPI-W figures, which had been incorrectly reported. On the basis of
the revised 1983 CPI-W, the wage increase due blue collar employees
for June 18, 1983, should have been 1.85 percent, not the 1.64 percent
which they received. Using the corrected CPI-W figures, the wage
increase for June 18, 1984, was 4.62 percent of the revised base rate
from June 1983 to June 1984.
The revision by the BLS resulted in the June 1983 to June 1984 rates
being approximately 3 cents less than they should have been for most of
the crafts. In order to correct this inadvertent pay rate, a one-time
lump sum back paycheck was issued to bargaining unit employees. The
lump sum amounts yere predicated on the loss of 2, 3, or 4 cents,
depending on the craft, times 2,080 hours plus 12 percent for loss in
estimated overtime earnings. The base lump sum rates were as follows:
Compositors and Related Crafts
$62.40
Offset Strippers and Platemaker Strippers
62.40
Bookbinders
62.40
Cylinder and Offset Pressmen
62.40
Offset Photographers
83.20
Printing Plant Workers
41.60
Journeyman Bindery Workers
41.60

The affected employees received lump sum checks in the amounts indicated
above, minus appropriate deductions.

June 18, 1984, were paid the appropriate pro rata amount of back pay due
to their former craft upon written request.
