We never dropped his pay when we promoted him,so he made 2 bucks and hour more than I did. We are cutting 3 x 4 bales of rebar only and a good burner can outcut the crane,which means you sit for a half hour waiting then another half hour while the crane cleans up and lays out four more bales to cut. You sit longer if the crane breaks down. All this and a heated Uhaul truck. In Canada you cant collect unemployment if you quit. Makes no sense to me
