[@Christ_the_great]

This is the reason we need unions!

This is so dope! I love to see women in this field.❤

EXCELLENT EPISODE! Growing up my stepdad was an Electrician and we always talked about how great his benefits and pay was. Thanks for exposing us to this wonderful career option. People seem to have families and well rounded lives outside of their work which is amazing. Thanks for sharing!

[@SalaryTransparentStreet]

Thanks for the kind words and support! 💚

This is so inspiring and it was so wonderful to see all the women and hear their stories!

[@dawandagoodwin7393]

The benefits are fantastic.

[@todd2324]

Keep in mind, folks, the average cost of a home in Boston is over 800K. So even with a six-figure salary, it can be tough to afford a house. All of these high salaries you hear are in places with high a cost of living (i.e. CA, MA, NY). Be strategic when it comes to your salary. Don't just look at the income without considering the affordability of where you live.

[@em32em]

it's interesting to hear how the benefits work and how some companies/unions include benefits on top of the hourly wage to give a "total hourly wage"

[@JesusGomez86]

Great video. Good to promote women in the trades. The first thing I want to say is that Santa Clara isn’t “south of the Bay Area”. It IS the Bay Area, and 332 is based in San Jose, but it covers Santa Clara. I was born and raised in San Jose, so hearing that it’s “south of the Bay Area” or “technically in the Bay Area” rubs me wrong 😛. She was correct in her statement, they are the second highest paid “on the check” local. However, 332 has the HIGHEST total package.

[@SalaryTransparentStreet]

Thanks for clarifying!

Me encantó estas entrevistas y el formato de ir a un evento relacionado a cierta profesión ❤❤🎉🎉 más videos así

My husband drives trucks and makes $20 an hr. I'm about to show him this video. When he was in his 20s, he majored in electrical engineering but dropped out. He still knows a lot about electricity.

[@SalaryTransparentStreet]

It’s never too late!

[@RandomCaliforniaAdventure]

Just know that this sort of trade is difficult to get into especially a unionized one. It's not one of those technical schools where you pay a large sum for an accelerated program just to graduate and find it difficult to get a job. These trade unions are fairly selective and since they work with other unions in sort of a monopoly...they can demand those wages with little competitors in their area. The easiest example would be like those port workers with little competition demanding a 70% raise but got 62% raise and still demanded that the port continue to practice its ancient Flintstones method because they are against automation. The electrical trade differs in that it actually requires a lengthy 2-4 years of school which is paid for unlike those quick scheme programs and once finished...are able to start right away with a good hour pay with fantastic pension and benefits. Again...the only problem is that it's difficult to get into. This female trades program, yeah don't bother. You will have to find your local union and find an opening or wait-list to get that opportunity. I'm in my second and still haven't been selected. I have cousins who are fresh out incarcerated delinquent and even they have programs specifically tailored to help these individuals. It's almost like if you are in the middle with no problems... opportunities can be difficult. The only thing I recommend is in the mean time, keep your regular job and learn a new skill set.

[@Blackjack09721]

Lol not going to lie.....when the A/C goes out or anything electrical. I am paying for whatever fix or my home warranty is. I can completely understand those wages based on the demand and limited certified supply. If you ain't got a certification, you ain't touching my house.

[@akialynn7505]

@@Blackjack09721 union workers get paid too much to want to do work on anyone’s residence. We can’t afford them. They mainly work on commercial and industrial projects.

[@JoseMunoz-vh3vj]

I’d like to know their hourly pay excluding the benefit package. Is there a way to find out their base hourly salary? The benefit package increases their overall compensation, but I’m interested in the pay before benefits are added.

[@SalaryTransparentStreet]

Many of them stated their base and their total hourly rate, but if you’re curious about your local unions, Google “Union ‘xyz’ pay sheet” and you’ll find the breakdown of their base and their benefits.

No wonder home prices are insane! Its an endless doom loop. People cant afford homes so they demand more pay which inadvertently raises the prices of the homes they are trying to buy!

[@SalaryTransparentStreet]

Apologies, but that’s not the reason home prices are high - worker pay has nothing to do with it. In fact, most working Americans are unable to afford homes in today’s housing market. The real reason is complex, but rooted in high demand and variably low supply.
