OK so you are not Top Secret Dept of Defense type work "just" a Washington state food plant type guy. No real big issues over trade secrets intellectual property ad naseum ad infinitum.
OK to get pragmatic
1. In essance you have no real loyalty to them - they have not brought you on as permanent and I suppose no benefits.
2. It is a paycheck though - which is better than a lot of your neighbors have.
3. I think if you and the management understand what this is all about and agree to it then all will be OK.
4. Charge no less than what you make at your present job. If you want jack it to time and half.
5. You can make a strong point that this is the introductory one time good deal price.
6. Check with IBEW and see what commercial union electricians make to give you one starting point.
You are the local guy who best knows the locale and the people. It is a one time deal so make your best call and see how it works out. Prices in my locale ie Seattle have nothing to do with prices in yours.
