Searched the site,but couldn't find anything about this.
I was recently working across from a roofer who appeared to have himself
a good sized crew(5 guys).
They took two days to strip ,ply,and dry in about 30sq.worth of a 3-layer roof with wood shakes.
Today there was only one person laying down the shingles.
My guess is they were Day Laborers.I've heard of a lot of contractors using them lately to keep payroll expenses(WC)down,and as an asset for taking on larger projects that one person can't do.
Albiet,they were all spanish speaking and came in a lettered truck,and may have been subbed for the prep only ,but it got me to wondering..............
Does anyone here use Day Laborers,and what are other benefits or risks involved.
