    Job site in the sky King County Journal, WA
    Since last July, when the crane went up, he has spent long days lifting and lowering tons of reinforcement steel and other building materials to keep the project growing.

    He works six days a week, starting as early as 4:30 in the morning. Last week he logged 63 hours.

    Union scale wages for a journeyman operator of the tallest cranes is $31.15 per hour.
