I worked on a public works job where the prevailing wage was less than my union package amount. However, the prevailing amount was more than the base package pay. Should I have gotten the higher amount no matter the total of my union package? The prevailing rate was $34 and our hourly pay was $24.90 with overall package being $35 hr. We were paid standard rate being told that the $34 didn’t exceed the package. The package difference isn’t subtracted from prevailing jobs that are much higher. The prevailing wage is the on check wage.
