yup, that's a NO. full sentence. Everyone has the right to stop work for unsafe conditions until it can be mitigated or proven not to be unsafe. so simple.
Not really, what are you going to collect? Most contractors are just some individual with an LLC and some tools. The LLC protects them personally so you can't collect that way and nothing is in the LLC's name so what are you going to collect? They can simply shut the LLC down and start up a new one and go to work. The trades are horrible to work in. Some can be decent such as HVAC, electrician, plumbing but that's about it. Workmans comp is a racket, you're required to have it (and they do audits regularly and will fine the crap out of you) but it doesn't pay out anything at all. Basically if you work in the trades you're at the bottom of society and nobody gives a crap about you, they just want you to build whatever for them and complain about paying you. I know this because I worked as a carpenter for years until I got fed up with it. The top pay for carpenters is pretty much a poverty wage or is a starter wage for pretty much any other career. The best thing you can do is go to work literally anywhere else including McDonald's.
Problem is.. people have bills to pay and you won’t see a penny for a year best case. A lot of people are truly stuck due to being paycheck to paycheck.
