Sippel of the Eastern District of Missouri denied a motion for summary judgment brought by the engineering firm Roeslein &amp; Associates in a breach-of-contract suit against Wendt, a construction project group whose bids were accepted for two parts of the construction in Ohio. Wendt subsequently utilized a staffing agency, Trillium Construction Services, to hire laborers to work on the project. The contract between Roeslein and Wendt went sideways following the arrest of a Trillium employee, leading to Roeslein filing suit against Wendt. The parties disputed whether Trillium was a subcontractor to Wendt, among other things. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> <!----> <!----> <!----> <!----><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After a construction worker was arrested for selling marijuana on a job site, a federal judge in Missouri determined questions remained regarding whether a third-party staffing agency was [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4950,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[1526,413,5255,2510,554,423,5253,2473,5254,5256],"class_list":["post-4949","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-lawyers","tag-agency","tag-company","tag-considered","tag-construction","tag-federal","tag-judge","tag-linger","tag-questions","tag-staffing","tag-subcontractor"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/usatrustedlawyers.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4949","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/usatrustedlawyers.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/usatrustedlawyers.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/usatrustedlawyers.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/usatrustedlawyers.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4949"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/usatrustedlawyers.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4949\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/usatrustedlawyers.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4950"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/usatrustedlawyers.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4949"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/usatrustedlawyers.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4949"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/usatrustedlawyers.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4949"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
