He Nearly Died on the Job. Then His Employer Disappeared.

Tower climber Andy Schneider had a serious accident while working on a tower site. Ends up with nearly 100k in hospital bills and the company re-classified him from a W-2 Employee to 1099 to absolve any liabilty. This is not uncommon in the tower industry and it needs to change. To stop this cycle, we need federal regulations that enforce strict safety standards and hold companies accountable, like OSHA’s proposed safety rules for tower work and the Corporate Transparency Act, which prevents businesses from hiding behind name changes. Not only every tower climber, but every worker deserves to be treated with respect.
