THat's great! I didn't know that.

But did you read the article?

It says AES Electrical had 45 people working 12 hours a day to make sure the job was completed on time, etc, but that Trump didn't pay. And if you do a Google search there are all kinds of small businesses that Trump seemed to not pay in full. For example, this guy : https://www.washingtonpost.com/poste...=.4f96c61510a4

I don't think people are grasping, but ok, let's say you're right, and say Trump was right not to pay those companies what they were promised for whatever reason. Even if you take that out of the equation, do you not see ANY red flags? His dismissal of the intelligence briefings? His crazy tweets? His mocking of a disabled reporter? Is there anything Trump has said or done that made you think twice?

(Not trying to put you on the spot, just asking...)

Cheers.

Don't you get it yet?

Trump supporters don't care if working people get paid.

Trump supporters are HAPPY if you can successfully rip people off, not pay contractors, etc. THAT's why they voted for Trump! They want to be able to rip people off like Trump, not pay their bills, not pay their taxes etc.

Depends if the contract was for a completed price or for time and material + a negotiated profit. Where the worker's wages paid or not.

If the subcontractor agrees to a completion date then he is on the hook for the worker's wages -- not the builder.

The law only requires that you pursue the work in a workman like manner with diligence. Having insufficient personnel on hand can be a breach of contract obligation.

That said, I once leined 200 lots in a subdivision as I did improvements to the entire site and wasn't paid as agreed. When I found out that the road paver had not been paid in months I immediately slapped a lien on the whole development and this stopped their construction loan take outs with the bank -- I cut off their water.

They paid me in a few days ... Some builders never defaulted and some I extended terms when they needed it -- that's just how the building business works.
