useless, incompetent employees are a dime a dozen...overstating their skills and qualifications are part of being an employee..

then steal from the company by coming in late, leaving early, or just dogging it is a disgrace...


man, did that sound bad...can't believe I actually typed it:whistling2:

make sure that you are comparing apples to apples.

the rates yanici posted are for an "A" journeyman in local 103

there are other ratings...for example, in NYC there is an "M" rating, which is essentially a 'maintenance electrician', there rate is quite a bit less than the rate for an "A" man in NYC.

Also, you mentioned that the union hands on board are from Local 25, their payrates are not necessarily the same or even close to 103.

for example in NY, there is local 3 and local 363...363 rates are quite a bit lower than 3's. Causes a bit of a problem in NYC, since they are both legitimate unions (depending on who you talk to) and compete for the same work.
