This is BS!

Last year, when working on 'prevailing wage' jobs, a 'tractor trailer driver' was paid $31.05 p/hr plus 'time and a half' for OT (anything over 40 hours)

For 2009, we take it in the shorts! :vmad: It seems as though MN has cut the 'prevailing wage' rates! :vmad:

For working 'prevailing wage' jobs this coming 'construction season', we'll only be paid $25.85 p/hr + OT. That's a $5.20 per hour PAY CUT!!! :wtf:

Sorry SOB's!!!!! (MN State Legislature) :vmad:

That wage is just 70 cents per hour above what I made 3 seasons ago. :vmad:

I'll bet that THEY (the lying thieves...er....State Legislature), got a pay raise AGAIN this year........but the average 'blue collar worker' like me, HAS TO take a PAY CUT!!!! :vmad:

Sorry bastards! :vmad:

I have'nt had a pay raise in over two years and neither has any other driver at CC....................however they have hired three more drivers last year and they hired on at a higher rate than the rest of us.:explain:


We are supposed to see a raise this March................with this economy I'll believe it when I see it
