Drifter, Steele is right. Do you know how many guy's that are/were subs then went to the labor board or workman's comp after signing off that they clearly understood what their contractor status was. And the government is tired of not getting their taxes. I heard a recent news article saying that 2 billion dollars is not paid by Sub Contractors every year. So they will continue to go to the source paying them and put the burden on them.
Like most situations in this world, you have a certain percentage that knows how to use it to their advantage and still comply with the law. It is the smaller percentage that does not comply and therefore ruin what once a very lucrative business. Today the pricing is so low that you are comparing cable payout to working in retail for best buys or in some cases McDonalds. It once seemed like that was extreme whining but today we are finding it much closer to the truth than any time in this industry.
This industry has pushed the pricing to the point that contractor employees cannot afford what they are installing. When the people entrusted to work on a product they can no longer afford, what does that tell us? What kind of motivation is it? Ultimately what is the attitude of the worker going into the customer home they are trying to get more dollars from?
