just do a google search on the word “contractor” and “killed”. In the past, no one was ever labeled as a “contractor”. like the guy killed at the stadium by a pallet skid…says ‘contractor killed’. Well, duh. But in the past it would have been a person, a worker, etc… was killed. But now the connotation is that contractors are bad and if they got killed, it was somehow the fault of himself or his contacting company. All the services done by just about any city in the USA are contracted jobs. highway maintenance, sewage, electricity, phone building maintenance, ….all of it. Those people aren’t on the cities payroll, they are paid by the company that won the contract.
Been that way for a long, long time. But all of a sudden, its become necessary to use the label ‘contractor’ to set the tone of negativity.
