"NLRB Ruling Threatens Sign Industry Contractor-Subcontractor Arrangements" - Article http://txsigns.associationbuyersguide.org/item/47-nlrb-ruling-threatens-sign-industry-contractor-subcontractor-arrangements http://www.isa.myindustrytracker.com/en/article/63958 So I got this today and maybe I'm misinterpreting this but... It looks like ISA wants to come to the aid of the wrong side, AGAIN. First...as in most states, especially here on the west coast you can only legally subcontract when you yourself are a contractor, or licensed contractor. So when it comes to the rule of law, this is nothing new and nothing that needs to be altered. Contractors licensing laws protect the employee, employer, primary contractor, subcontractor and consumer. I see "Franchise" included in the article so it makes me think that ISA is trying to get some of their large base or members (FastSigns) to bypass the contractors licensing law as we've discussed here http://www.thesignsyndicate.com/forums/index.php?/topic/6169-controversy-over-electric-signs-splits-industry-a-no-brainer/ As a primary contractor you are solely responsible, I see what looks like word play as well, as if to cause panic or emotion. Maybe I'm getting this wrong, maybe not. As I've said before nothing will kill an industry faster then when you can have anyone, and that would include a Home Depot clerk to have the ability to sell, execute and subcontract a home/commercial improvement contract whether it's repair of modification and be protected from laws that a normal contractor are held under. The chain of accountability, responsibility is broken when you have a third party that is not held to the same respects as a contractor, that how most laws are written. If I'm reading this article right, ISA is trying to come to the aid of those who lack the knowledge or know how of this industry that obviously cannot get their own contractors license. -
Hello, I'm looking for bids to install a 22’-7 ½” Wide x 8’-3” tall wall mural. Material will be an adhesive backed wall paper (Probably Korographics Material) Wall will be primed and sanded by the subcontractor. This is a high end project and there will be an a lot of eyes on it. The installer would have to bring their A game. Time frame for install would be mid October. Message me back if you're interested and I'll get you more details. Thanks, Jamin
