This thread is a perfect example of how person x misreads what person y
posted and then goes off on a tangent.
So I'm told I'm just spinning that.


Quack, quack, quack.


Reggie syndrome.


No. *This thread is a perfect example of you making a statement or
implication, being called on it, then weaving your way with words out of any
accountability.


You were the first one to mention $37 per hour in the envelope. * Here's
your exact words:


* * * * * * *"How many of the non-degreed fellows at that plant are making
$37 an hour
* * * * * * * *in the envelope, plus pension and health benefits?"


Any reasonable interpretation of those words would be that you were stating
a typical pay scale and benefits package for union workers.


But, when challenged, your story changes to the following:


* "I stated that lots, but not most, construction workers were pulling in
* * $37 an hour."


and:


* " But I never made a statement implying that $37+ an hour was what most,
* * or even a majority of electricians and plumbers were earning. I said
* * "not most, but lots.""


followed by:


* *" Then, I mentioned my local union specifically, where there is a "job"
* * * upcoming that will provide years of work at even higher rates for a
* * * certain category of specialty welders. Those were not the guys I was
* * * referring to for the $37 an hour rate, and I stated that."


and you wonder why.

Lots is not most, and I never stated or implied $37 an hour plus fringes
was typical. "Typical" is $25 to $30 plus fringes in the major markets,
or was the last time I bothered to look. The largest markets have higher
rates, typically.

You are the one, I believe, who brought up a specific work location,
your old company. I did not bring up a specific local or even locale.

Now, my local, is beginning to send out the word for certain
specifically trained welders for a great job that will take years to
complete at rates that will be substantially higher than $37 an hour. My
guess is that up to a couple hundred such welders will be needed at peak
times.- Hide quoted text -
