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.

Each figure is read off that local's published wage sheet, with the source and effective date shown next to it. Our sheet set was last cross-checked 2026-10-05. Locals with no published sheet are listed without a rate rather than filled with an average.
