Base wage vs total package.Base wage is the hourly rate on your check. Total package adds health & welfare, pension, and other employer-paid contributions on top — it is not a higher wage rate.
Wage agreements step up mid-contract. Always confirm the current rate with your local before negotiating or accepting work.
