I don't want to open a can of worms on the job but, the guys are working tied off on an elevated platform 40 to 80' up and also using a 100+' boom lift.
Our local has high pay of $1 per hour. Its been years since I have thought about it but, do guys generally get high pay on boom lifts or does the guy working on the platform get high pay. Neither or both?? How does it work in your local? |

Union or not, I've never gotten more pay because of hazardous duty.

There’s a place here that has concessions that all maintenance is at 80% and new construction is at 90%. All contracted new work is done over the winter. My employer used to get jobs there. He always paid 100%.
One cold winter they were doing a job there. Some of the guys had to climb the steel with permanent ladders to run conduit up for a few motors. They pressured the foreman into asking the boss for high time. The boss replied “I’ll give them the high time for the sixty or so man hours, but it will be 90% pay for that and the rest of the winter” ![]() We all have to pick and choose our own battles. ![]() Southeast Power likes this.

I think the rule of thumb in my old local was anything over 100'.
Not any silos in NYC I know of but there are plenty of other structures well over 100'.

If it is the rule then they have to pay as dictated by the contract, if not, then nothing to see here.

I'm normally easy going but when it's in the contract it's not up for negotiation to me.
