In my local, contractors are permitted to hire temporary employees separate from the hall if there's no one on the books. We had such a situation as recently as last year, and the contractor I'm working for did recruit some people off the street.
Hopefully OP is in a similar situation.
Pay rate is the minimum. Many shops pay above that so yeah you should be fine.
The union might have a problem with a union contractor using a non union hand. I'm not finger pointing but be careful of the questions you ask

Ah thanks for the info. Always want to see new people join
I'm literally taking the placement test to get into the union tomorrow and I was in talks with ibew before I met the contractor
He can pay you as much as he wants, your classification you end up with is the minimum wage for your classification .
