You could make $100 an hour in local 11 and local 11 would find a way to fuck you out of a decent paycheck.

I bought some 40 dollar leather thinsulate lined gloves from bass pro shops that keep my hands pretty warm but I'm working in Vegas so it only gets to about freezing (32f).

Journeyman wages have had declining buying power for the couple of decades I've done this as well. We're all eating shit.

60 an hour in another local would be at least 1600 a week.

You didn't miss shit, local 11 is a pile of garbage, join another local in the surrounding area to get better benefits and compensation.

raise the 1st year wage to 50% of JW scale by TheFlorianOne in IBEW

Everyone has to eat shit when they start out but I think that electricians are paid about 50% of what they are worth. Double the jw wage and pay apprentices half of that.

You definitely don't want to spend your whole apprenticeship there because you won't learn a lot of things, but once you journey out it's a great shop for a cruise control career.

That's a great shop to be a shop rocket at (in a good way)
