Nichols, Just a few more questions, so we can understand everyones position on this.
1. Was this a union jobsite?
2. Are you a union contractor?
3. Did the electricion whom you refer to identify himself as a union rep. or as a safety officer?
4. Has your supervisor explained to you the terms of your companies contract and defined your scope of work at this jobsite?
I have worn many hats over the years and have seen situations as you describe many times. If this was a union jobsite and you are a non-union contractor doing work that has been exempted from a contract. Than be relieved that your extension cord was the only thing damaged. I am not saying this is right or wrong, however this is what its like working with the big boys.
Instead of going back to your teacher and complaining, you should tell him that you had a new learning experience.
