No. The journeyman rate is the base hourly wage. Health and welfare, pension, annuity and training contributions are paid on top — that combined figure is the total package, shown where the sheet publishes it.
Apply to the local's apprenticeship through its training committee, or, if you already hold the ticket, ask the hall about organizing in and sign the out-of-work book. Gulfstream does not process membership — we recruit for contractors, and the union-scale and merit-shop openings we hold in Florida are linked from this page.
