So if you just got hired, $14.63 for dock work and $15.05 for city work.

If you have completed your progression, you should be at $15.68 for dock work and $16.13 for city work.

Thanks wiggle for the reply it looks like you get a very healthy raise once you hit top pay looking forward to that

 

[Wiggle Wagon]

Absolutely. By the time you hit top pay, who knows how much we will be making. By that time, we will be into our next contract. If you did not receive a copy of the contract, there is a pdf file of it in full online, but this site won't let me post the link.
