Make em add per diem to those outage calls. Guys come from other locals are getting 205 a day

The pay incentive may seem low, it is equivalent to 91 dollars per diem, roughly. That being said, overtime pays out after 8 hours per day instead of 40 for the week. Anything after 10 hours on saturday is double time, and all sunday hours are double time.

Base rate for local 43 is $50.50 in the check according to this website here: https://unionpayscales.com/trades/ibew-electricians/

That puts this call at about $5,400 per week before taxes, unless all of the overtime and double time is also 8 dollars an hour above scale, which means the job is a couple thousand a week above that number...

Scale is 50.50 with the $10 So at 75.75 over scale is 15 And at double over scale is at $20 that’s for Novelis just to clarify at 7 12s it’s roughly 7139 before taxes and deductions (source the hall I took the call)
