does it matter if it isn't union labor?

YES there is next to NO unions in construction in Hampton Roads and if OSHA shows up they will fine you for almost anything :lol:

Actually, yes, I believe it does. I think that there are other factors involved but I don't believe whether they are unionized or not is a determining factor.
un to sears to deal with, not me.

yes it is on them :wink:

Yet if they fall....

Actually the legal onus is upon the sub-contractor that erected the scaffolding and/or safety equipment. Having suffered a broken back in a fall at a construction sight I can tell you first hand that unless the site owner (in this case Rambo) or the contractor (in this case Sears) committed an act of negligence, such as refusing to allow proper safety equipment to be installed, they cannot be held legally accountable. The accountability falls upon the sub-contractor. In reality Sears is only responsible to insure that the siding is free of defects that would prevent it from being used.

not completely true, as sears has agreements with the subcontractors for this kind of thing and is partially why I chose sears.

you are.

(there are no more scaffolds, so your what-if question has no validity)
