Dean Fryer Quotations

If they don't comply then we file suit to get a judgment.

If we are denied access to the property to gain access to the employees then we may have to take other avenues, such as referring this case to the local D.A. or filing a civil case in court.

If the funds aren't paid by the deadline, the department will file a civil lawsuit.

I suspect the county should be taking a look at this. The county has building codes. One would think that could be addressed at that level. There's the ability to do that on the local level.

We were stopped at the entrance by the security guard who refused to grant us access, refused to cooperate with us, refused to take the stop order personally.

We know the penalty will be at least $100,000.

We have been in collaboration with the California Department of Health Services since 1991 and there haven't been any problems. They have excellent and efficient medical personnel at our disposal. This is just a way to provide functions more efficiently.

We see that there needs to be more guidance for employers and more protections for workers.

We've got all these wage claims. People are telling me they haven't been paid from Dec. 19.

We were tipped off about this from a complainant who came in to file a wage claim, and said that a co-worker was injured, and he knew that they didn't have workers compensation.

The bottom line is they cannot employ workers until they have it.

This is not the first time we've been at this site. The first time was in 1995, when we were looking at this exact area and helping the ski area understand why it needs to be avoided. The hazards of this location are well-known.

They said they're working on it, so it's in the works.

That's puzzling. No one really knows why he let the payroll go and not covered the pay for these employees. Just don't know at this point.

In effect, it shuts them down. They're not permitting workers to be employed.

If you follow the proper procedures you don't have employees inside the silo doing work activity while product is being removed. We have to look at whether proper training was provided, and whether employees know what the hazards were associated with their work.

The department will allow Jackson to pay his employees directly, and we will verify that the proper payments were made.
