PayScale Advice - City: Rockford

i was fired - Spot Welder - (City withheld for privacy), Illinois, United States.
Posted in I Was Fired on 16 Oct 2006.
This is what happened to me: They hired me to be a spot welder to finish a job. They would use you as many days as they wanted to and turn you loose. I know more about welding because of training. Some of the co-workers didn't like that. They turned several people loose before and up until the job order was complete, while they were promising a full time job. How can this be changed, I dont have any one to help me with rent and interrupted temp service work. I end up back on the street.

You need to be able to identify what you do to earn a higher rate of pay, and prove that your are worth the additional expense to the company. Whether your arguement is years with the company and a good history of employment with them or projects that you may have completed and acheived excellent results.
