PROPOSED CONSENT DECREE



TO PRESENT AND FORMER BLACK EMPLOYEES OR APPLICANTS 
FOR EMPLOYMENT (OR THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS OR ESTATES) 
OF NORFOLK SHIPBUILDING AND DRY DOCK CORPORATION

In May, 1972, Edward D. White and five other persons filed suit 

in the United States District Court in Norfolk against the Norfolk 

Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Corporation [N.S.D.D.], the International 

Brotherhood of Boilermakers, Iron Ship Builders, Blacksmiths,

Forgers and Helpers of America, and Local 68^ of this International 

Union. The lawsuit alleged that the company and the unions had dis­

criminated against black persons in employment. The suit was brought 

as a class action whereby the plaintiffs represent all present and 

former black employees and applicants of N.S.D.D.

The plaintiffs and the defendants have agreed to settle the 

case, and have submitted the proposed terms of settlement, called a 
Consent Decree, to the Court for approval.

The Decree will bar all claims of racial discrimination for any­

thing occurring up to the Court's approval of the settlement. If 

you object to any of the terms of the proposed Consent Decree or to 

the manner in which the monetary settlement is proposed to be dis­

tributed, you must file objections within the next thirty days. If 

you wish to file objections, they must be put in writing, and must be 

received within the next thirty days by the Clerk of Court. His name 

and address are:

W. FARLEY POWERS, JR., CLERK 
United States District Court 
United States Court House 
Norfolk, Virginia 23501

Any document you file should state the name of the case and its 

number: White v. Norfolk Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Corporation,
Civil Action No. 279-72-N.

A brief description of the terms of settlement follows:
1. The defendants do not admit that they have ever dis­

criminated and promise that there will be no discrimination in 
the future.

2. The Decree will bar all claims of discrimination 
occurring up to the date of the Court's approval of the 
settlement.

3. Employees in the Labor and Dock Departments will have 

a continuing opportunity to transfer to Helper positions in 

other departments. Their seniority will be carried forward,

ments in the event of a layoff. See paragraph 4(a ) of the 

proposed Consent Decree, on p. 3.

4. Laborers, labor helpers and dock helpers with 

seniority before 1969 will qualify for training programs, with 

specified maximum time periods for promotion to higher grades

employees who have worked substantial amounts of overtime in 
the past, there are provisions under which they retain certain 

rights to work overtime in their old departments. See para­

graphs 4(C) and 4(d ) of the proposed Consent Decree, on pp. 4-5.

5. Laborers will be given an extra 10 cents an hour when 

they are loaned out to other departments to work under the other

July 1, 1965 in any combination of the job categories of Laborer, 
Paint Laborer, Track Laborer, Laborer Helper, Dock Helper, Truck 

Driver, Janitor or Janitress. To be eligible, a class member who 
did not file a proof-of-claim form must have worked for N.S.D.D.

gation, and the parties have consented to the entry of this Decree, 
and it appearing to the Court that the entry of this Decree will 

further the objectives of the aforementioned enactments, and that the



2

Decree fully protects the rights and interests of all employees and 
applicants for employment, it is

ADJUDGED, ORDERED and DECREED, as follows:

1. General

A. Pursuant to this Decree, the instant action is entirely 

resolved as to the Company and the Unions with prejudice to all 

claims of racially discriminatory employment practices of ail 

parties plaintiff and with prejudice to such claims of all members 

of the class represented by plaintiffs (without regard to whether 

such members are members of the subclasses entitled to share in the 

award of back pay, as set forth in Appendices A and B to this Decree) 
against the Company, the Unions and their respective officers, 
employees, successors and assigns.

B. The class represented by the plaintiffs includes all past 
and present minority employees of the Company; and all past and 

present minority applicants for employment by the Company.

C. This Decree shall not foreclose the rights of any named 

plaintiff or class member as to discriminatory practices by the 

Company or the Unions occurring after the entry of this Decree.

2. Monetary Consideration

A. In settlement of all claims and costs (including court 

costs and administrative costs not heretofore paid in proceedings 
before this Court) the Company agrees to pay a sum of $140,000 and

the Unions agree to pay the sum of $40,000 for a total sum of $180,000 

for back pay, counsel fees, costs, in full and final settlement of

and the Unions by this Decree release each other of any claim of 

contribution or indemnification.
B. The apportionment of the total $180,000 shall be in 

accordance with the formula and in the manner set forth in the 
attached Appendices A and B. Distribution of such funds according 

to such apportionment shall be the responsibility of counsel for the



plaintiffs. Counsel for plaintiffs may rely on the accuracy of

Assuming no showing of a lack of good faith, all parties, including 

their counsel, will not be liable for miscalculations, omissions or 

errors in apportionment and distribution. Opportunity will be 

afforded for class members to object to the proposed apportionment 

and distribution.

3. Specific Assignments
A. Albert Parker will be promoted to the position of Pusher 1 

at the first vacancy or within 60 days after the entry of this 

Decree, whichever occurs sooner.

B. Kenneth Cox will be promoted to the position of helper l/C 
in whichever of the craft departments has the first vacancy (except 

Plate & Welding). The position is one that will afford the training 

opportunity contemplated under Paragraph ;*C of this Decree. If no 
helper l/C vacancy occurs within 60 days after the effective date

of this Decree, then the Company will promptly assign Cox to one of 

those departments as an additional helper l/C.

C. Charles D. White, J. A. Moore and Calvin R. Williams will 

be placed in the first available vacancies within the handyman 3/C 

category of the Outside Machine Shop.
D. The former employees listed in Appendix C will be sent the 

letter contained in Appendix D and if determined to have been 

qualified at the time of initial hire at the Company for placement as 
handyman 3/C or better will bo given a priority over applicants for 

such placement.

h . Transfer Program

A. Notice of Transfer Opportunities. The Company will post a 

notice at a facility readily available to employees of the Labor and 
Dock Departments of the continuing opportunity to apply for transfer 

to Helper positions in other departments. Such notice will indicate 

that employees so transferring will carry their seniority (calculated 
from their last date of hire) forward into their new department and 

will have a bump back right to their old department in case of layoff



pursuant to Article IX, Sections 4 and 5 of the Labor Agreement, 

effective March 7, 1973. These notices will further inform 

employees who believe they have qualifications for placement into 

a handyman or higher position that they should advise the Personnel 
Office of their skills and interests.

B. Restoration of Seniority. Seniority of all employees who 

had their seniority altered as a result of transferring at their 

own request shall be calculated from their last date of hire.

C. Training. To ensure that adequate training opportunities 

are provided to minority employees who are laborers, paint laborers, 

track laborers, labor helpers, dock helpers, janitors or janitresses 

with seniority prior to 1969, the Company agrees as follows:

All such minority employees who apply for transfer to 
trade helper or trade handyman positions within sixty (60) 

days after being informed by letter of the terms of this 

provision, will, when assigned to such positions, be 

afforded training opportunities which will, assuming 

satisfactory job and training performance, enable them to 

qualify for promotions on the following time schedule:

Handyman 3/C - 12-18 months of active employ­
ment as a helper after the date 
of this Decree

Mechanic 3/C - 36-48 months of active employ­
ment as a handyman after the 
date of this Decree

The above letter will be issued within thirty (30) days after 
the final entry of this Decree.

The above time schedule shall not be used to extend the time of 

an individual's progress if his performance and skills merit faster 

progression, and the Company shall make appropriate good faith efforts 

to qualify individuals for promotion within the lesser times stated 

above. The progress of each trainee under this subsection will be 

evaluated at six-month intervals, and a copy of this evaluation will 

be forwarded to counsel for plaintiffs.

Individuals who are serving as helper l/C and who are transferred 

pursuant to this subsection to a helper 2/C position will not have 

their wage rate reduced unless they thereafter decline promotion to 

a helper l/C position or fail to qualify for such promotion within 
one year of the time of their transfer.



- 5 -

D. Overtime Opportunities. Each eligible minority laborer or 

helper in the Labor or Dock Departments with seniority prior to 1969, 

who applies for transfer to a helper position in a trade department 

within sixty (60) days after being informed by letter of the terms 

of this provision will, for two years after the date of this Decree 
or until he becomes a handyman 3/C, whichever occurs sooner, have 

the option in any overtime preference period as defined hereinafter 

to share equitably in overtime opportunities in his former depart­

ment which are not accepted by the employee who performed the same 

work during the preceding shift. To be eligible for this provision, 

an employee must have had at least 500 overtime hours in the period 

1970-72. Those eligible are listed in Appendix E.
In allocating an equitable share of such overtime opportunities 

in the employee's former department, account will be taken of the 

overtime opportunities the transferee has had in his new department 
as well as the overtime opportunities which have been made available 

to him in his former department. It is further understood that to 

the extent that an employee exercises his option to share in over­
time in his former department, he may be required to work overtime 

in that department on the same basis that he could be required to 

work overtime in his new department.
An overtime preference period shall be the three months period 

immediately following a calendar quarter after the employee's transfer 

in which quarter (l) the employee was offered at least 15 percent less 

overtime than his quarterly average listed in Appendix E and (2) the 
overtime hours worked in his former department equaled or exceeded 

85 percent of the quarterly average of overtime worked in that depart­

ment in the years 1970, 1971, and 1972.

5. Loan Outs
Labor Department employees loaned outside the Labor Department 

shall receive a premium rate of pay of #.10 per hour where the loan- 
out is for more than three consecutive working days and the loan-out 

has not been made in part to prevent the employee's being laid off.
In such circumstances, the premium rate shall be payable beginning 

on the fourth consecutive working day. For purposes of this pro­
vision, an employee is loaned out only when he is directly subject



6

to supervisors of a department other than the Labor Department. A 

loan-out does not include the assignment of laborers under a Labor 

Department supervisor to work in another department.

6. Supervisors

A. In filling positions of supervisors in the Labor Depart­

ment, first consideration shall be given to then current employees 
in the Department.

B. The Company will make a good faith effort to increase the 
utilization of minority employees as supervisors in all departments.,

7. Helper —  Laborer Assignments

In each year during the life of this Decree, approximately the 

same ratio of minority to white employees shall be attained in the 

assignments of new hires made to each of the following positions: 

trade helper, dock helper, laborer, paint laborer, track laborer, and 

janitor or janitress, provided that at all times the Company shall be 

free to make necessary assignments if employees of only one race are 

presently available for such an assignment and provided further that 
in determining compliance with this requirement ratios will be based 

on actual offers of assignments without regard to whether or not the 

offers were accepted. The company shall not offer trade helper 

positions to an applicant who has rejected a laborer position within 
the previous thirty (30) days except where necessary to fill a 

vacancy and where necessary to meet the assignment ratios provided 
for in this paragraph.

8. Minority Placement Rates

A. Except as provided in paragraph B below, in each year 

during the life of this Decree, at least 25 percent of the place­

ments (new hires and promotions) as mechanics in each trade and

25 percent of such placements as handymen in each trade and 25 percent 

of such placements as apprentices will be minority group members.

B. (l) In each year during the life of this Decree the follow­

ing rates shall apply for the placement (new hires and promotions) of 

minorities in the positions listed unless the percentage of minorities 

employed in such positions reaches 20 percent, in which case only the 
terms of provision 8.A. above will apply:



7

Sheet Metal handyman - 50%
Crane Operator - 50%
Guard - 33-1/3%
Rigger handyman - 33-1/3%

(2) With respect to the following positions, the placement 

rate of minorities (new hires or promotions) will be 50 percent until 

there is at least one minority employee in the position, in which case 

only the terms of paragraph 8.A. will apply:
Power Plant Operator - Power Plant Maintenance
Storeroom Maintenance Machinist
Tug and Launch Captain
C. The specified minority placement rates in paragraphs 8.A. 

and 8.B. above are subject to availability of qualified minority 

persons willing to accept such positions. It shall be a defense 

and an appropriate excuse that the Company has in good faith sought 
to recruit a qualified minority person to fill a vacancy, from the 

sources listed in Appendix F, but does not have a current application 

of such a person.
D. Nothing in this Decree shall be construed to prevent the 

Company from exceeding the goals of minority placement and 

utilization set forth above.
E. The high school diploma requirement shall not be used to 

the extent that it precludes reaching the minority placement rate 

for apprentices. The Company will make its best efforts to assure 
that minority apprentices are not concentrated in particular depart­

ments but are widely represented among the different departments 

covered by the apprenticeship program.

9. Vocational Training

The Company agrees to determine the feasibility of further 

participation in or cooperation with training programs sponsored by 
public vocational education organizations in the metropolitan Norfolk 

area. In this connection the Company will offer to nominate Company 
representatives to vocational craft committees relevant to shipyard 

work and will notify current employees of offsite training courses 

that will provide relevant training opportunities outside working 
hours to the extent such notification will not obligate the Company 

to compensate the employees for time spent in such training. Tin? 

Company further agrees to recommend improvements in existing offsite



training opportunities for potential applicants and present 

employees and the establishment of additional training courses or 

programs relevant to shipyard work to the extent such actions will 

not obligate the Company to compensate employees for time spent in 
such training.

By September 30, 1973, the Company shall prepare a report on the 

feasibility of further participation and cooperation in public voca­
tional training programs. Such a report will give due consideration 

to all types of training possibilities. The Company further agrees 

to discuss this subject with counsel for plaintiffs should the 

latter believe, after receiving the feasibility report, that the 

Company is not adequately participating in or cooperating with such 
vocational training programs.

10. EEO Compliance Officer

The Company will designate an EEO officer to assure compliance 

with the terms of this Decree and will post a notice to all employees 
of this designation. The EEO officer will be authorized to receive 

employee complaints of discrimination and to investigate and seek 
resolution of such complaints.

11. Union Monitoring Procedure

A. The Local Union agrees to establish and maintain during the 

life of this Decree, an Evaluation Committee to review and evaluate 

all grievances of the minority employees of the Compahy. This Com­

mittee shall consist of the president and vice-president of the Union, 
a member selected by the minority employees and two other members 
selected by the Local Union.

B. The said Committee shall meet at least quarterly and shall 
have the responsibility to review and evaluate all grievances of 

minority employees and to assist the Shop Stewards in resolving 
these grievances.

C. Any minority employee of the Company having a grievance 

hampered by the action or inaction of his Shop Steward shall have the 
option of filing his grievance with the president of the Union; pro­

vided, however, that any such grievance shall be pursued in accordance 
with the terms of Article XI "Grievance Procedure" of the Labor
Agreement.



- 9 -

D. The Local Union will prepare and submit to the counsel for 

all parties reports indicating the disposition of grievances of 

minority employees, commencing on July 1, 1973 and thereafter semi­

annually. A final progress report will be submitted at least twenty 

(20) days prior to the expiration of the terms of this Decree.

E. The Company and the Local Union shall cooperate with each 

other in fulfilling their respective obligations under this Decree.

12. Term of the Decree

This Court retains jurisdiction of this action for a period of 

four (^) years for the purposes of assuring compliance with this 
Decree. After that time, the Decree shall be dissolved. At any 

time that this Decree works an unexpected or undue hardship upon 

the Company, it may move for appropriate modification, upon thirty 

(30) days notice to plaintiffs. If there has not been substantial 

progress in minority utilization in categories aggregating a sub­

stantial number of positions, this Court, upon motion of plaintiffs, 
may extend the terms of this Decree to cover those positions for a 
period not to exceed two (2) years.

13. Complaint Procedure

If, at any time during the term of this Decree, any complaints 
or instances of possible non-compliance come to the attention of 

plaintiffs, the Company and/or the Union as appropriate shall be 
notified in writing and permitted to investigate and rectify any 

complaints. Internal procedures, such as the grievance procedures, 
may be used to resolve the problem. If the matter is not resolved 

to the satisfaction of plaintiffs within thirty (30) days of the 

Company's and/or the Union's receipt of this notice, plaintiffs may 
move for an appropriate resolution by the Court. This section shall 

not be construed as a limitation in seeking judicial review after 
said thirty (30) days.

14. Exclusive Remedy
It is agreed that this Consent Decree embodies the exclusive 

remedy as to the Company and the Unions for any claims of employment 

discrimination against plaintiffs and the class they represent aris­

ing prior to the entry of this Decree, and that no other actions will



10

be brought against the Company and the Unions with respect to such 

claims in any forum, administrative or judicial.

15. Notice
A. The Company will provide counsel for plaintiffs with a 

mailing list for present minority employees and as accurate and 

complete a list as possible of former minority employees for direct 

mailing of a copy of this Decree and of Appendices A through E.
B. A summary of this Decree, including the proposed method of 

monetary distribution, will be published once in the Norfolk Journal 
and Guide and the Virginia Pilot. The text of the notice shall be 

as set forth in Appendix G hereto. The notice will expressly afford 

to members of the class, and persons excluded from the class by the 

definition herein, opportunity to file objections to this Decree, or 

proposed corrections to the factual information contained in 

Appendix B, with this Court no later than thirty (30) days following 

the date of publication of the notices. Promptly following such 

publication, plaintiffs shall submit' to the Court and to each defen­

dant herein a certificate attesting to said publication and the dates 

thereof, and shall submit therewith actual or xeroxed copies of the 

notices as published. In the absence of any such objections within 

the aforesaid thirty (30) days, this Decree shall become final 
without further action by this Court.

16. Monitoring and Reporting

A. In connection with implementation of this Decree, the 

Company will monitor job placements and maintain records. The 
Company will prepare and submit a copy to counsel for all parties

for all parties, at least twenty (20) days before expiration of

the terms of this Decree.

cation, employee number and date of employment of all employees of

asterisk (*) before their name must send a postcard to the attorneys 

for the plaintiffs by the deadline or they will lose their rights 

to receive money, and everyone else's share will increase according­

ly. If you see any mistakes in this table, notify the attorneys 
for plaintiffs _as soon as posslble since nothing can be done about 

the mistake after the final calculations have been made. Check for
your name on all lists.

1. LIST OF PERSONS WHO FILED 
PROOF-OF-CLAIM FORMS

The following list shows the best judgment of the attorneys 

for plaintiffs on the merits of each proof-of-claim form filed 

in this case. Each person's claim has been given a rating of up 

to ten points, reflecting the following factors: likelihood

that the claim is true, based upon the extensive depositions and 

voluminous discovery taken herein, degree of economic loss, 

length of time the alleged discriminations continued, recency of 

the events involved, factors mitigating the defendants' alleged 

conduct, problems of proof if the claim had had to have been 

litigated at trial, and likelihood of success in the event of 

such litigation.

The following list does not include any claims of a type 

covered in any other lists, but is in addition to any such 

allocations. Of the total $180,000 settlement, $20,000 has 
been set aside for the payment of the claims in this list. In 

the judgment of counsel for plaintiffs, this is an adequate and 

fair amount of the total settlement to be allocated for these 
claims.

Many of the persons filing proof-of-claim forms did so 
more to bring facts they considered important to the attention 

of the Court and of the parties than to seek money for themselves. 
Without this information, it might not have been possible to 

reach this settlement, and they are commended for their 

co-operation.
None of the persons who filed a proof-of-claim form is 

required to send a postcard to counsel for plaintiffs; each is 

eligible to receive his or her share without any further action 

on his or her part. The "estimated amounts of back pay" are 

tentative and may be a little larger or a little smaller. If 
you see any mistakes in this table, notify the attorneys for 

plaintiffs as soon as possible since nothing can be done about 

the mistakes after the final calculations have been made.

3. LIST OF PRESENT AND FORMER LABORERS ELIGIBLE 
TO SHARE IN THE BACK PAY SETTLEMENT FOR TIME 
WORKED AS LABORERS

See Appendix B for an explanation of the means used to 

determine which present and former laborers are eligible 
to share in the back pay settlement for the time they worked 

as laborers, and the means used to calculate their share.
CAUTION: The "estimated amounts of back pay" are only

estimations. It may be a little larger or a little smaller. 

Persons marked with an asterisk (*) before their name must 

send a postcard to the attorneys for plaintiffs by the 

deadline or they will lose their rights to receive money, 

and everyone else’s share will be increased accordingly.

If you see any mistakes in this table, notify the attorneys 
for plaintiffs as soon as possible since nothing can be done 

about the mistake after the final calculations have been 

made. Check for your name on other lists as well.

APPENDIX B

DISTRIBUTION OF THE MONETARY SETTLEMENT

1• Of the total monetary settlement of $180,000, the amount 

of $'«0,277.15 is allowed for attorneys’ fees for counsel for plain­

tiffs, and the amount of $18,891.39 is tentatively allowed as their 
costs. This is based upon the affidavit of counsel for plaintiffs. 

Some expenses are tentative, and provisions for adjustment are set 
forth at the end of this Appendix.

2. The amount available for distribution to the class is tenta­
tively set at $120,831.46. Of this amount, $15,000 shall be distri­

buted to the named plaintiffs in equal amounts, and they shall not 
share under any other provisions for distributing the monetary 

settlement. Apart from the named plaintiffs, all other class mem­
bers may share under all provisions for distributing the monetary 
settlement for which they are eligible.

3. The sum of $20,000 shall be used to redress the claims of 
class members who filed proof-of-claim forms, apportioned in the 
manner set forth in Appendix A, List 1. This list does not include 

types of discrimination covered by the other lists in Appendix A.

4. Lists 2 through 8 in Appendix A show the initial estimated 

amounts of back pay for various persons. These amounts are not yet 

definite because some former employees who did not file proof-of- 
claim forms will lose their right to receive their shares on lists

2 through 8 unless they write to counsel for plaintiffs, and the 

card, letter or notice is received by the deadline. The writing 
requirement is explained in paragraph 10 below. Since some persons 
will have died or moved away, and nobody will send in the written 

notice for them, and since some persons will not respond for other 
reasons, a number of persons will lose their rights to receive the 

shares on lists 2 through 8. The amounts forfeited will be added 

together and distributed to the remaining persons on these lists, 

in proportion to the total share of each person on the combined 
lists 2 through 8.



- A A -

Initial Apportionments and Estimated Amounts of Back Pay

5. The initial sum of $5,000 shall be used to estimate the 

compensation of class members who lost six or more months' seniority 

upon transferring departments from 1965 to 1971 in the manner set 

forth in Appendix A, List 2, in proportion to the number of months' 
seniority lost. If class members transferred departments more

than once, all transfers in which six or more months' seniority 
was lost are included for the purpose of calculating months lost.

6. The initial sum of $75,831.^6 shall initially be ap­
portioned in the following manner among these six sub-classes. 

"Eligibility"is defined in paragraph 9 .

1) For eligible class members for time spent 

working as Laborers, the initial sum of 
$55,204.6A, to be divided among them in 

proportion to their earnings as Laborers 

from July 1965 to April 1973. Each member's 
earnings should be multiplied by a factor

of .013825 to arrive at his estimated share 

of back pay for membership in this sub­
class. Plaintiffs' best approximation of 

earnings is shown in Appendix A, List 3, 
which also shows the estimated shares of 
each eligible Laborer.

2) For eligible class members for time spent 
working as Paint Laborers or Track 

Laborers, the initial sum of $1 ,35*4.60 to

be divided among them in proportion to their 

earnings in such jobs from July 1965 to April 

1973. Each member's earnings should be mul­
tiplied by a factor of .009678 to arrive at 

his estimated share of back pay for member­

ship in this sub-class. Plaintiffs' best



approximation of earnings is shown in 

Appendix A, List >\, which also shows t.ho 

estimated shares of each eligible Paint 
Laborer and Track Laborer.

3) For eligible class members for time spent 
as Labor Helpers, the initial sum of 

$1,210.76, to be divided among them in 

proportion to their earnings in such jobs 

from July 1965 to April 1973. Each mem­
ber’s earnings should be multiplied by a 

factor of .005530 to arrive at his esti­
mated share of back pay for membership in 

this sub-class. Plaintiffs’ best approxi­

mation of earnings is shown in Appendix A,

List 5, which also shows the estimated share 
of each eligible Labor Helper.

4) For eligible class members for time spent 

working as Dock Helpers, the initial sum of 

$9,167.37, to be divided among them in 
proportion to their earnings in such jobs 

from July 1965 to December 1970. Each mem­

ber's earnings should be multiplied by a 

factor of .005530 to arrive at his estimated 
share of back pay for membership in this sub­

class. Plaintiffs' best approximation of 
earnings is shown in Appendix A, List 6, which 

also shows the estimated share of each eligible 
Dock Helper.

5) For eligible class members for time spent 
working as Truck Drivers, the initial sum 

of $5,988.51, to be divided among them in 

proportion to their earnings in such jobs from



-46-

July 1965 to April 1973. Each member’s 

earnings should be multiplied by a factor 

of .009678 to arrive at his estimated share 

of back pay for membership in this sub-class. 

Plaintiffs’ best approximation of earnings 

is shown in Appendix A, List 7, which also 

shows the estimated share of each eligible 
Truck Driver.

6) For eligible class members for time spent 

working as Janitors or Janitresses, the 

initial sum of #2,905.58, to be divided 

among them in proportion to their earnings 

in such jobs from July 1965 to April 1973.

Each member’s earnings should be multiplied 

by a factor of.013825 to arrive at his or 
her estimated share of back pay for member­

ship in this sub-class. Plaintiffs’ best 

approximation of earnings is shown in Appen­

dix A, List 8, which also shows the estimated 

share of each eligible Janitor or Janitress.

7. The following is a brief summary of the basis on which 
the formulas are derived:

1) Customarily, totally unskilled persons are 

assigned upon hiring to one of the covered 

job categories or to jobs as helpers in the 
trade departments.

2) Prior to January 1, 1969, there were strong 

racial patterns in initial assignments whereby 
whites were assigned to jobs as helpers in 

the trade departments and unskilled blacks 
were assigned to one of the covered job 
categories.



3) After January 1, 1969, these raeial patterns 
of initial assignment ended with respect to 

jobs as helpers in the trade departments 

and jobs as Laborer and Dock Helper. Even 

after January 1, 1969, however, most persons 
initially assigned to the jobs of Paint 

Laborer, Track Laborer, Truck Driver, Jani­
tor and Janitress have been black.

*0 Persons who were initially assigned as hel­
pers in the trade shops have a much greater 

chance of promotion to skilled job cate­

gories than persons initially assigned to 
the jobs of Laborer, Truck Driver, Janitor 

and Janitress. Until December, 1970, Dock 

Helpers had relatively little chance for 

promotion to skilled job categories; after 

January 1, 1971, however, their opportunities 
for promotion to skilled job categories 

became as great as those of helpers in the 

trade departments. Labor Helpers have 

relatively little chance for promotion to 

skilled job categories. Paint Laborers and 

Track Laborers have a greater chance for 
promotion to skilled job categories than 
laborers.

5) Pay rates for these various unskilled entry- 

level job categories are different. Paint 
Laborers and Track Laborers have always earned 

the same rate of pay as Laborers; Dock Helpers, 

Labor Helpers and Kfelpers in the trade depart­

ments have always earned the same rate of 

pay; Laborers have customarily earned 190 to



-48-

250 an hour less than Helpers of the same 

class; Labor Helpers are made so by promo­

tion and are thus unlike other entry-level 

Helpers; Truck Drivers have customarily 

earned 90 to 100 an hour less than Helpers 

of the same class; Janitors and Janitresses 

customarily earn 190 to 200 an hour less 
than Helpers first class.

8. The factors applied to earnings in the various covered 

job categories are different, in order to take account of the 

differing economic values of these jobs to the persons in them. 
The factors bear the approximate proportion of 10 to 7 to 4: 

Laborers, Janitors and Janitresses at 10; Truck Drivers, Paint 

Laborers and Track Laborers at 7; Dock Helpers and Labor Helpers 

at 40 The factors set forth at pp. hh to 46 above take proper 
account of these differing economic values.

Eligibility Requirements for Lists 3 Through 8 of Appendix A

9. The standards for determining the eligibility of class 
members to share under the six earnings-based formulas set forth 
above and in lists 3 through 8 of Appendix A are as follows:

1) To be eligible to share in any of lists 3 

through 8 of Appendix A, a class member must 

have worked a total of at least twelve months 

after July 1965 in any combination of the 

job categories of Laborer, Paint Laborer,

Track Laborer, Labor Helper, Dock Helper,

Truck Driver, Janitor or Janitress. For Dock 

Helpers, the twelve months must have been 
between July 1965 and December 1970.

2) To be eligible to share under any of lists 3 

through 8 of Appendix A, a class member who 
did not file a proof-of—claim form must have



-49-

worked for N.S.D.D. on or after June 25, 1967, 

If a class member who did file a proof-of- 

claim form left N.S.D.D. before this date, he 

or she will still share on lists 3 through 8.

3) With respect to the jobs of Laborer, Labor 

Helper and Dock Helper, a class member must 

have been hired before January 1, 1969 —

in 1968 or before. For class members 
hired before January 1, 1969 whose employment 

was terminated before satisfying the twelve- 

month requirement and who were subsequently 

rehired in the same job category or any 

other job category covered in lists 3 through 
8 of Appendix A, subsequent months will be 

included to help meet the twelve-month require­

ment only if both of the following conditions 

are met : that the date of rehire is before 

January 1, 1970 and that the period from the 

date of separation to the date of rehire is 

no longer than a year. For class members 

hired before January 1, 1969 who were promoted 

to job categories not covered in lists 3 

through 8 of Appendix A, and subsequently

of satisfying the twelve-month requirement.

4) Date of hire is irrelevant for class members 
working in the jobs of Paint Laborer, Track

The Requirement That Some Former Employees Send a 

Written Notice to Counsel for Plaintiffs in Order 

To Preserve Their Right to Share

10. Each class member who did not file a proof-of-claim 

form and who was not still employed by N.S.D.D. as of April,

1973 —  as shown by the data processing tape furnished by N.S.D.D.

to counsel for plaintiffs —  will lose his or her right to share

in the monetary settlement unless counsel for plaintiffs receives

a postcard or other writing indicating a desire to share, no

later than thirty days after the publication of notice herein

or no later than the final calculation of the shares of class

members, whichever occurs later. The notice must be sent to:

RICHARD T. SEYMOUR 
Attorney at Law 
1763 R Street, N. W.
Washington, D. C. 20009

1 1 . When plaintiffs mail copies of the proposed Consent 

Decree to class members, they shall include a properly addressed, 

stamped return postcard in the copies going to class members 

required to give written indication of their desire to share.

No present employee, and no present or former employee who

filed a proof-of-claim form, is required to take any further action.

Provisions Regarding Deceased Class Members

12. The shares of deceased class members may be paid to 

the persons, if any, who were designated by the class member on 

N.S.D.D. records to receive any wages owing at the time of death.

If there is no such designation in any instance, the class member's 
share may be paid to his or her estate, and it may be mailed to 

any member of the class member's immediate family. Counsel for 

plaintiffs will not be required to search probate records to deter­

mine the identity of any executors or administrators but shall, 

where the share is paid to an estate rather than to the beneficiary 
of wages owing at the time of death, notify the members of the



-51-

class member’s immediate family to whom the check is sent that the 

check should be given to the executor or administrator. Any member 
of the immediate family, executor, administrator, or beneficiary 

of wages owing at the time of death may send in any required 
indication of desire to share.

Escrow Fund

13. The sum of $5,000 shall be set aside as an escrow fund 
to cover the claims of persons affected by any mistake in the 

apportionments set forth in Appendix A, by excusable failure to 
send to counsel for plaintiffs a timely required notification of 

their desire to receive their share, by other meritorious claims 

for relief, and to cover out-of-pocket costs not known at the 

time of final calculations and initial distribution to class 

members, or incurred thereafter. Counsel for plaintiffs shall 

act as trustee for the class in making determinations to dis­

burse funds from this amount, but any distribution of $A00 or 

more to a class member, and any amount whatsoever for costs, must 

be approved in advance by the Court. Any class member disagreeing 

with the determination of counsel for plaintiffs with respect to 

his or her claim will have the right to appeal to the Court within 
fifteen days for a different determination.

1A. if any estimate of costs turns out to have been too 

high, but this is not learned before the final calculation and 

initial distribution of class members' shares, the excess shall be 
added to the $5,000 set aside. If any funds set aside remain 

undistributed on the first anniversary of the approval of this 

Consent Decree, and no determination on any claim for class mem­

bers is pending, the Court shall be notified of the amount involved 

and it shall be distributed equally among the named plaintiffs.

If the amount remaining is $3,000 or more, the advance approval 

of the Court is required; if less, advance approval is not required.



-52-

Adjustments for Costs

15. Because some of the costs tentatively allowed in the 

amount of $18,891.39 reflect estimations, it is likely that 

adjustments to the amount allowed for costs must he made. The 

following procedures shall apply to such adjustments: If the

amount allowed for costs is increased or decreased hy the Court 

prior to the final calculation of the shares of class members, 

the share of each individual class member (but not the shares 

of the named plaintiffs) will be adjusted in proportion to its 

size. If the amount allowed for costs is increased or decreased 

thereafter, adjustments shall be made only with respect to the 
above-described $5,000 escrow fund.

APPENDIX D
Text of Letter to Send Former Employees 
________ Specified in Appendix C________

Dear Former Employee:

Norfolk Shipbuilding & Drydock Corporation has recently 
been reviewing records of some of its former employees in order to 
determine if there were some who had skills that could be used more 
advantageously for future expansions in the work of the Company.

If you would be interested in future employment with the 
Company, you are requested to complete the attached form and forward 
it to the Company within 30 days. At our mutual convenience, we will 
arrange an interview that would assist in determining whether you had 
a skill level that would enable you to be placed as a handyman at the 
Company.

If you have expressed an interest and have been found 
qualified, you will be notified on a priority basis when openings 
occur.
