[QUOTE="iamupser, post: 863152, member: 30252"] It's all going to depend what location you work at. If 10 mechanics answer, you'll have 10 different answers. Here in the Metropolitan Detroit area, mechanics, bodymen, maintenance, porters, car washers, and gassers are in the IAM&AW. Overtime comes and goes, our pension is under UPS not the IAM as is in some parts of the country. Basically it's $100 per year up to 35 years ($3500). No 401k match, 2 option days a year. There is no requirement with ASE or state certifications tied to our pay (yet :). We have package car mechanics, tractor mechanics, trailer mechanics. I recommend in this area to become a car washer or any part time position they can do and when a full time mechanic bid opens up to sign it (if you really wanted in badly). Top journeyman rate (2 year progression currently) $31.06 and a .75 raise 10/2011. I think they make you wait a year for insurance now, but that may be just to add your famly (which is BS IMO). Good Luck! [/QUOTE]
