Really? If you're familiar with rate cards, can you read this http://www.local14funds.org/forms/NewForms/Wage-Scale-082018... and tell me what portion actually makes it to the person doing the work?

Seems like you're familiar. Could you share the answer too?

I'm not. I just use that source for me to determine how construction jobs (specifically crane ops) wages are priced. I am not especially informed.

Those wages are what the union members actually receive.

Thanks. What would someone who utilizes this union labour actually end up paying? A little more than this? I'm sure it varies but I'm curious about ballpark. Like 50% more? 250% more?
