I work for an electrical contract. This company pays me in checks and I've did my W-2 last year. I recently found out that the actual owner died years ago, and it seems like this company does not actually have an electrical license and is not allowed to do electric work.
Nevertheless they have contracts for two big supermarkets. We go in and we do electric work on those supermarkets. Simple little jobs and at the end of each day the workers write up an invoice and the supermarket manager signs it.
My question and concern is if this company actually does not have an electrical license and is not allowed to do electric work can I sue the supermarket for allowing them to still operate without an electrical license, or not being responsible enough to find out, or putting me in danger of getting hurt while at work with a company that shouldn't even be doing the work?
