Notice of Prevailing Rate of Wage Change - Power Equipment
Operators
As per RCW 39.12.015, 39.12.020 and WAC 296-127-011 the
Department of Labor and Industries has determined that the
prevailing rate of wage published on February 3, 2004 (WSR
04-04-077) for the Power Equipment Operator's classifications
in Chelan, Clallam, Douglas, Grays Harbor, Island, Jefferson,
King, Kitsap, Kittitas, Lewis, Mason, Pacific, Pierce, Skagit,
Snohomish, Thurston, Whatcom and Yakima counties were
inadvertently updated. Effective immediately, the correct
wage rates for this classification in these counties should be
those that took effect on August 31, 2003. These wage rates
should not have been changed until the next wage update cycle
in August of 2004. The department has determined that this change is
necessary to correct an error that was made in updating these
wages. Absent this change, L&I will be enforcing an incorrect
prevailing wage, which irreparably harms contractors, workers
and the people of the state of Washington. This correction is
necessary to ensure the correct application of prevailing
wages and the general welfare.
