The labor term in the airframe escalation formula of aircraft purchase agreements, where it carries 65% of the adjustment against CPI-U for the rest. Also a sound labor escalator for any manufacturing supply contract, since it counts benefits as well as pay.

The [affected portion] of the Contract Price shall be adjusted using US ECI — Total Compensation, Manufacturing (BLS series CIU2013000000000I), published by BLS. Base Period: the index value published for the month of contract signing (or the month of contract signing, if different) is the Base Value. Adjustment: at each Adjustment Date, the Current Value is the most recently published three-month average of the index (the Averaging Window). The Escalation Factor equals Current Value divided by Base Value. Cap: the Escalation Factor applied under this clause shall not exceed 1.10 or fall below 0.90 (a 10% cap and floor) in any single Adjustment Date, regardless of the index's actual movement. [Replace bracketed terms with your contract's actual affected-portion definition and adjustment-date schedule before use. This is a drafting starting point, not legal advice.]

New aircraft are escalated with a labor and inflation formula, not a manufacturing PPI: 65% Employment Cost Index (manufacturing, CIU2013000000000I) plus 35% CPI-U (CUUR0000SA0), measured against base-year values and applied at delivery. Spare parts have no matching series, so price them from a weighted input composite instead.
Read more →A labor escalation clause compares a current-period Employment Cost Index value to the value at contract signing (the base period), turns that into a ratio, then applies the ratio to the labor-affected portion of the contract price. The ECI publishes quarterly rather than monthly, so clauses need a longer review cycle and lag than a PPI-based materials clause.
