Sounds like this guy din't bid the job right, and now is looking for his employees to go on a suicide mission, for his error in estimating the job, of course there are going to be the usual, save the ship at all cost guys there, who will risk life, and limb and say what was wrong with that guy refusing the job, these are the guys that are part of the problem, for continuing to work in unsafe conditions.
Do an unsafe act, or no paycheck, is not a good position to be in, from what you described, i would have walked, you are sure, there was no place to attach a safety harness.
If i may ask, you said, "a few guys up in the ceiling wiring the fixtures and jack chaining them." just what would be their emergency escape method, i belive you said there was only one lift.
