Painters Union Raises Rates Amid Wage Talks
The Painters Union voted to raise pay rates with an amendment linking the old scale to the international standard. The change, effective July 26 for one year or longer, sets a $1 per hour minimum increase in many cases and maintains a $125 per hour cap for certain jobs, with adjustments for travel and materials costs. The amendment aims to protect workers while balancing costs for homeowners and small repairs.
