CABL Forum - Re:Corporations KEEPING SUB RETAINAGE NEED TO JOIN TOGETHER

I'm getting screwed right now, too. After talking to my attorney, the idea of a class-action suit won't work unless we all were getting screwed by the same company. Check your contract - it may have an arbitration clause. If so, then go here:

http://www.adr.org/
In our case, the big-boy prime simply sent a sheet of paper saying, "forfeit" - no mention of any problems, no documentation, NOTHING. They don't return calls or e-mails, and will have to explain themselves when they get hit with the arbitration. Ass holes.
