There has been a lot of changes in the subsistence offered at the Mesabi Metallics job in Nashwauk. So here is what was sent to the electrical contractors working on site from Mesabi Metallics to clarify. IBEW Local 294 does not set these parameters. Subsistence is taxed and again IBEW Local 294 does not set those parameters. Sorry for all the confusion and we will keep everyone informed as best we can. Currently there are still around 50 open calls available and Saturdays are double time. As usual if you have questions please call us.
