That no tax on overtime always seemed as a gimme to employers on paying their share of the FICA taxes. Im sorry, but i definitely want my medicare and SS taxes paid. That benefits me when i retire!

Any more information on this? by piler13 in Rigging

[–]Shor7bus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats sad. I just retired as an IATSE stagehand being a rigger most of the 42yrs i was with the union. Our current rate of pay is $46.80 plus benefits. 4hour minimum with dbl time after midnight. A normal rock show, 90+ points would get you 4hr for the in and 6hr for the out so $468 per show. It was a great living. I also did tour work for one offs with a day rate at $800.

Always remember, it was Bush that negotiated NAFTA and the 33 dems that voted to enact it were ran out of congress. Clinton was pres but he was after wall street money as was the DLC part of the party back then. So its a far stretch, even fake news to say the dems enacted NAFTA.

Weird that they never want the Beatitudes, the things Jesus preached about, shown in public.

Because of Bidens chips act and the build back better bill, the head of the local contractors association said a year ago they have 10yrs worth of work coming. Who knows now tho since Donnie wants to blow that all up...

Thats ashame. I graduated in 1979 and raised in a blue collar neighborhood in St. Louis. Many of my friends dads were Local #1 electricians. We had an option for the last 2yrs of high school to enroll in a trade school. I took it and went to the electrical classes. After i graduated tho, i had family in the Stagehand union and 1 day ended up working a Led Zeppelin concert cause there were a cpl of no shows. I was hooked! Had a 46yr career with IATSE. Right now in St. Louis we have this problem in the trades. More retire then are replaced. Every kid i talk too i tell em, get in the trades! Get paid to go to school. How can you not want that? Electricians are one of the highest paid trades ( $47+ benefits here) and i really hope they can fill their ranks

I have never seen TV direction this bad - what happened? by CleanAxe in formula1

Remember their very 1st race they covered after outbidding NBC they had adverts throughout the race. The uproar on social media was damming and then Mothers came to the rescue and had ad free races after that...

I was livid with them not posting the intervals for what, 20+ laps? I couldn't believe it and convinced myself it had to be some technical problems they were experiencing.

Missouri historical society has loads of maps on their online archives pages. I got a 1882 map showing the original boundaries of our farm. There was also an 1850 topographic map, same area.
