I don't know that you have grounds to sue the foreman.
I'm not sure that "We did it before and got away with it" is a defense you want to raise, unless you want to be asked to repay the owner for that scrap as well.
well yea man... so why can the other jobs get away with it? it should be everyone gets in trouble or no one does...???????? i dont see a flaw in that thinking, i dont know if you guys do or not cause no one has commented on that part yet?
