In Local 8 Santa Clara County it's $63.44 for a mechanic's base rate. 50% of that is $31.72.
In Local 80 Raleigh the base Mechanic's rate is $38.14. 50% is $19.07.
I posted these two because they are the Highest and the Lowest in the country. These numbers do not factor in that companies can pay mechanics more if they want.
Also, keep in mind that the cost of living in these two areas are vastly different. You would have to make roughly $41.50 to start in San Jose to have the same buying power as you would if you started in Raleigh. Or you would have to start at $14.58 in Raleigh.
Furthermore, the fringe benefits are equal.

Awesome dude! Thanks I'm sure everyone will appreciate the information! Dang though sounds like we're better off in NC although 19$ sounds like peanuts lol.
Also if there is a potential to transfer from one local to another at any point as an apprentice.
Thanks to anyone who has any info.
Yes. You can apply to every local you want.
Yes. But after you join the union; in a year.
Some of the locals seem to cover a pretty wide area.
