Should be visiting it soon ..$28 hr is a 4th year Apprentice wage in the Elk Valley. I think he may not get full coin until he challenges the IP R/S. I never recieved full Journeymans wage until I Upgraded
as they put it to IP Red-Seal standard.What other benefits are on offer? Full medical & Bounus schemes etc etc ?
Regardless: $28 bucks 'n' Hour still kick the arse off any equivilent wage here in the UK for the same job .. $28 = £18 hr ..

The best comparison is wages to cost of living in the same country.

Totally agree with the Cost of living ..
A Canadian $ pay rate might have level pegged a UK £ rate but it was like 70 - 80 cent for a ltr of GAS ..
