I undestand that in the construction business things like this happen often but, several weeks without paying the employees is ridiculous. Liberty Mutual needs to pay these people immediately. The contractors that have not been paid need to all walk off the job, cease all work until they are paid current by Liberty Mutual, oh and start charging interest to Liberty Mutual and penalty fees if not paid in a timely manner. Most contractor are held to their contracts if they miss the deadline and have to pay fee then why not Liberty Mutual!

These people need to stop complaining and give praise to God and Jesus that they even have jobs. So much of the work today goes to the illegal aliens. The one who was talking to the reporter needs to be either fired or to lose any pay that he has coming to him for loafing on the job. He and the rest most likely belong to powerful labor unions who have squeezed so much money out of the company that it's now struggling to make payroll. The company needs to get rid of all these union people and find them some decent workers who will work for a decent wage--maybe around 5 dollars an hour for unskilled workers and 5.50 to 6 dollars an hour for those with skills, but not a penny more. The Bible tells us to do our jobs well without complaining, so these people who are complaining and whining are going to have to deal with God and Jesus later for their insubordination and sloth.
