Floor Focu Article


Reading an article, by Lisabeth, in the latest Floor Focus rag, I was surprised they actually printed this...

"Most of our installers are subs, "but we manage them closely"
If you are a sub and do not do what we want, you do not work for us anymore. Right now we have two subs that work exclusively for us. We utilize manufacturers training for sales and installation."



Talk about an admission of guilt, and he doesn't even know it. His partner is an attorney. Neither had any flooring experience, besides having floors in their own homes and businesses. They bought an existing business, without any knowledge of the business.


This is how wages are surpressed, and exploiting the uneducated or passive labor. I'm sending this article to the IRS, as some proof as to what I have been writing them about for the last 2 years. This guy will get an audit, hopefully.

The laws are there to prevent this, but because they have never really been enforced, and the uneducated labor are not going to know, to do anything about it, it runs rampid, all over our nation, and in the UK.



What do you think Angus??? Sound like the show your running??
