HOURS PAID BY EXPERIENCE LEVEL Workers may quickly ascend to the highest experience level; after working a lifetime total of 4,000 hours, workers are then eligible for the highest experience rates on the wage table. LIFETIME TOTAL 2021 HOURLY # HOURS PAID HOURS RATE RANGE 0-1,000 1,253,552 $33.31 - $70.40 1,001-2,000 1,135,747 $34.31 - $72.20 2,001-4,000 1,474,678 $36.31 - $75.80 4,001 and higher 32,084,255 $46.23 - $93.65 TOTAL 35,948,232 Hours and Wage Breakdown The following data show a breakdown of waterfront hours and wages, in order to better illustrate the man- ner in which ILWU workers are paid. The tables below show the impact of skill bonuses, shift differentials and overtime pay, which together account for nearly 90 percent of all hours being paid at greater than the $46.23 basic rate. Further, pay guarantees ensure that many workers are paid for significantly more than 2,000 hours per year, regardless of whether those hours are all worked.
