And there you go, the award rate for top level slaughterman is 23.50 an hour, a 40 hour week will see you earn a bit over 900$ before tax, and the average wage is 87,000 per year, and they wonder why people don't want the jobs?, what ever happened to supply and demand determining wages?, I worked for JC Huttons- Tancreds from 1976 till 1992 as a slaughterman, I started at 15 and no kidding you virtually had to wait for somebody to die when you turned 20 and wanted a spot as a butcher, nobody every left because we were paid well, above the average wage in fact, the biggest meat producer JBS was losing 1000 people per year because of how far they had screwed down wages in the EBA and the workers thought at last the company will have to boost wages to keep people but no, they cried to GOVT and they brought in 457 workers and the screwing down of wages got worse..
