Does the Oklahoma union rate include benefits?

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.

How do I get on with a Oklahoma local?

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 Oklahoma are linked from this page.

Where do these Oklahoma rates come from?
