The installers do not bid on installation work. The work is distributed among them by the petitioner who pairs up installers who work well together. Mr. Wagoner is an experienced floor covering installer himself, and is careful to inspect the work of new installers to make sure they are adequately trained and are therefore journeymen. Other than this, the installation process is done without supervision by the petitioner. Individuals can refuse any job, and they work at their own convenience, subject only to the time-frame for completion which the petitioner has arranged with the customer.
Individuals take vacations whenever they want.
The petitioner cited two examples of individuals refusing particular jobs. In one case, an individual refused an installation after being informed that, for safety reasons, he had to shave his beard. In the second example an individual, mid-way through an installation, would not go back to the job site because of the unpleasant working conditions. In both instances, the petitioner had the job completed through the services of another installer. Customer complaints about an installation, received by the petitioner, are referred to the installer.
