I make $24/hr as a 5th year apprentice.

As the title states I make $24/hr as a 5th year apprentice out of Local 136 (Birmingham, AL). Our JW wage is currently $30/hr. Our agreement is up for renewal in a few months so hopefully we can negotiate better. Our last negotiated raise was a $3 raise over 3 years ($1 per year for 3 years) which brought from $27/hr to $30/hr for JW's.
