Absolutely! For my area (metro Atlanta) the hourly wage is fairly competitive. I'm not complaining about that. I'm fine with guys in Chicago, LA, metro NYC and the northeast making more per hour than me because it DOES cost more to live there, even compared to Atlanta. But why does a guy in Clearfield, PA, for example, make the same per hour as someone in Chicago or Newark? AND he gets ot after 8 like Chicago and Newark. It's a principle issue for me. If I work over 8, why is my time not as valuable as that guy up in Clearfield? Or Omaha? Or Boise? They should make the OT the same company wide. We all do the same job for the same company, so when we work over 8 (and I'm sure plenty of guys up north and out west do) our time down in the sunny south should be as important to the company as theirs.
