To anyone who really wants a job welding and shipfitters. There are jobs at NGSS INGALLS SHIPYARD in pascagoula,mississippi. The pay for first class is about 21.50

thanks I'll pass the word along to some people I know that live more in that area.

They still don't pay that much for contractors. I heard at Northrope Gruman contractors are making like 32 an hour although if it is a little safer then northrope then it'll be worth it

Also I heard from one of the NGSS supervisors that they have a contract welder who was laid off from CATERPILLAR .He is getting paid 35 dollars an hour with no
benefits. I am not sure but they didnt mention any per diem for this welder. The shipyard is really hurting for people who can do quality work . Us [QA specialists] deal
with it every day with structure misaligned, poor welding, bad weld joint fit ups, weld joints not cleaned properly prior to welding,etc.,etc.,etc. I write up the defects
on a CAR [CORRECTIVE ACTION REQUEST] to get correction of defects and create a quality history for SUP SHIP QA management.

I personally wouldn't go into anything as a contractor, I only want full benefits and all but I know alot of guys i work with would rather be a contractor for the money. I work at Textron in New Orleans east as a aluminum welder but there are some carbon steel wleders there I know and if they really are *****ing alot about there job I'll mention it to them about this place.
I don't want to leave from where I am, yeah it's a pain sometimes but for the most part it isn't bad.
