service contract workers

[sca_victim]

Are there any other "service contract act" workers out there who feel they are getting screwed over at work?

I thinks me smells and agenda

What kind of service do you provide?

It's a Govt. program that increases your pay on certian contracts. If your company pays less than union (or whatever standard) wages, you get the difference added to your check.

Like the DOL rates they have

Thank God I no longer work for a contractor!

Is victim a victim? What exactly is he/she getting at?

 

[aps45819]

Probably pizzed because the way his job discription is worded doesn't qualify him for the extra $$ even though he's doing the work.
But he's getting paid what he agreed to when he took the job.

any relation?

No agenda. Simply feel my $2.56 an hour benefit package is worthless. How can anyone afford the benefits a family supporter needs on that rate?

I am classified as an electrician. My wage determination is WAY below what a friend of mine makes working as an electrician outside the service contract act.

I took the best job offered to me in this economy. It's still better than working at Walmart...which I would not do!

B/c it's soo much classier to stand in the unemployment line

 

[sca_victim]

Then I'm confused as to what the problem is. I know quite a few people who have had to take jobs with no benefits at all...

So, Your saying I shouldn't try to improve things to support my family?

No. There is no ratio. You get 2.56 an hour benefits no matter what your pay scale is. The pay scale is set by the Department of Labor through a wage determination.
