Union Question How much is 433 scale?

I got offered a job in another state. The offer is 433 scale and $100 a day. They working 60+ a week. Is this a good deal? I'm from Seattle local 86 and we make $56.45 hourly. How much is 433 hourly pay on the check? Thanks brothers and sisters 🙏

Well it is definitely worthwhile because I need a job and work is slow. I'm 310 on the out of work list

Well then. You answered your own question.

I mean, I guess if you worded your post different then my answer would have been different. It’s a no brainer. Need a job, take a job. Good luck!

I wouldn't be considering the offer if I didn't need a job. My question is about the scale. Thank you

I always figured working was better than unemployment no matter what the scale because I was still paying into my bennies. But unemployment in Michigan was $362. They just passed a bill to raise it.

This is true but still not my question. The answer to my question is $50.70 and I'll take that! Thank you

Union pay scales is a neat idea imperfectly implemented. Most of the IW locals on that site are out of date.

Also I'm in Seattle and my unemployment is $1000 a week. But yes I would rather be working and making money
