Official hall rate references, straight-time crew labor costs and city wage benchmarks.
Official rate references and labor costs
Project city and trade select published whole-county territory references from the union coverage directory. Census city representative points do not establish entire-city jurisdiction. Where no published match is held, select a hall only as a reference; coverage remains unverified. Official sourced UA plumbing, pipefitting, HVAC and SMART sheet metal classifications are available; no trade averages or borrowed rates.
Cost calculation
Crew hours = workers × straight-time hours per worker per week × weeks. Base wage cost = official hourly wage × crew hours. Published package cost = published hourly package × crew hours. Missing packages remain unavailable, never zero. All workers use the selected classification; apprentice, foreman and overtime rates are not inferred.
Metro and state pay gap
Compare base wages—not total packages—to BLS OEWS medians for the same occupation and all employers, union and non-union. Gap dollars = base wage − median; gap percent = (base wage − median) ÷ median × 100. Metro comparisons require an exact principal-city reference in the held Census/BLS mapping; otherwise no metro figure is shown. State medians stay separate. Older source dates are not a promise of current contract pay.
Straight-time labor reference, not a project bid or a confirmed contract rate. Excludes overtime premiums, payroll taxes, insurance, materials, equipment, overhead and profit. Package differences may include taxable items and funds, not only benefits. Verify the agreement, classification, zone and current schedule with the hall. Gulfstream is independent of every union; contractor hiring is separate from hall dispatch.
