U.S.A. Union diving rates.

This is a very complex pay rate scale.  It would be impossible to post all the rates of unions in the US.  First here is a link to few websites that have some of the union rates posted. Davis Bacon, Dockbuilders 456,  For your information this website is not setup by any union and is not here to promote a union, but unions are a something that can not be overlooked, good or bad.  In an attempt to show some union pay rates some companies rates are posted below.  If you would like to have your companies/state/union rates posted here Submit a comment and leave the details and it will be posted.  
The rates posted here are not guaranteed to be correct and the webmaster assumes no responsibility as to the correct information or rate for any dive company. Use this information at your own risk.
