Im looking for work and Im even willing to travel and ive been looking for companies that mill across america can you guys help me out?
Yes sir, I know the story all to well. I do not even bother looking for work in Florida anymore. Lotsa good folks like Mr Ando and Turtle are down there but its simply impossible to survive on the wage scale there.
The state has prevailing wage for a mill operator at around $8 per hour. Adam Rowgowski the vice president at PP&S (mentioned above) showed me that years ago and its still the same to this day. Worked for an outfit in Miami that get away with paying their operators minimum wage. Believe it.
I got nothing against your company, because it looks and sounds like turtle is the top gun down there, i just cant believe how big of a gap there is in wages. Hows the work picture in florida this year, still down or growing again. You guys in those sunny states always bounce back first it seems like.
