Training over 5 days pays 3.0 for EVERY day..even off days. That's 90 hours for a month of transition/upgrade, meaning you'll likely take a pay cut when you're finished and go back to the line.
The only joke is PC pay. 3.75 is not enough as there are generally no off days in the training. Should be 5 hours.
I agree about training, 93 hours a month as a newhire? It was awesome!
22.75 hours a week isn't crazy good money. Its ok, sure. But if we're talking about changes we'd like to see, I'd rather have more time off than more money. Give me 4 days paid at 5 hours per day, AND 6 unpaid vacation days per week. Ten consecutive days off is a week's vacation. Not seven. I've got to synch my schedule with the rest of the world, they're not going to change to accommodate me.
