Believe it or not the rate of pay for the non-union contractor I will go to work for is about a $1.50-$1.75 more than Dominions Union pay (Journeyman). The recruiter told me Dominion's Journeyman pay is $33.00/Hr, but you cant beat their holidays, sick time, pension and matching 401k. If you all have any pointers to help get on with an IOU, please let me know.

    Thanks
    ........learn as much as you can............doesnt matter where you start out..........work safe.work safe. work safe.........there might be a time to try another job,union or not......contractor or utility...........keep that to yourself.....dont tell people your business....good luck.
