$40 an hour, assuming a full 8 hour day. $40 X 8 = $320 for 1 day. Are there no Americans who have families to feed? Even at that $10, I’m sure an actual citizen would accept that work.

That works out to a little over 83K a year. Hell, I’d pick lettuce to earn that kind of cabbage.

Prevailing wage requirements also set allowable ratios of apprentices to journeypersons. For example, the prevailing wage schedule for New York City, as of May 12, 2006, calls for an electrician to be paid $44.00 an hour and a mid-level apprentice electrician (third term) to be paid $18.65 an hour. Supplemental benefits would be $35.51 per hour for a journeyperson electrician, and $14.19 for the mid-level apprentice

Yeah, just my thoughts-—this will probably be the first and last time anything like this will happen in White Plains, Spring Valley or anywhere else without the threat of their respective Municipal Buildings being marched on.
MOSTLY because this judge demanded they be paid as overpaid City Workers, ENOUGH of whom are already paid by
overtaxed homeowners. A permanent scenario like this, of course, if just what the Left envisions for America, and probably even some not on the Left. See this as a test case-—they’ll probably try it again. I am telling you, the world is a very different place for people who are tied to Institutions, like State funded Universities, or the Government Teat in some way.

My son just started at UPS as a morning loader for $10/hr - 5 days/wk - 4 hrs / day. He’s glad to have the job - will let him schedule daytime classes with no problem.
