What I was trying to say
There is no way the other trades will work at night so why would they even think to ask the layers to work at night?
They stupid. they will work whenever we tell them
Where is the respect for the floor layers now?

The other trades will work at night but not for so low a premium and not so easily bounced around on short notice in their scheduling. There's a price for everything, right? They also negotiate things into the STANDARD construction contract like having their gang box, equipment,
trucks, supplies and such on site so they can not be frivolously required to spend unlimited hours delivering and shifting men and materials around in a circle jerk for the sake of unprofessional supervision and poor planning. If significant moving about must be done the GC has to furnish the labor or pay hourly rates to the subcontractor for their lack of planning.
I'll give you an example. I was doing a very large new K-8 school in Long Beach. When they began grading and paving for the parking lot/schoolyard they simply disallowed myself and any of my crew to park on site. I had to park literally a quarter mile away and either leave my personal tools on site risking theft or hump them in and out daily. Yet both the plumber's and electrician's company vehicle were allowed to find someplace SECURE and CONVENIENT inside the gates.
I found out it was written in their contract that if they were not allowed to park on site ALL WORK WOULD STOP on their contract with no penalty and a guaranteed extension of any strict deadline they had to meet. I found this out when I was dropping off my tools to work for the day and the plumber was getting a hassle from security. He told the super he'd leave and happily come back in a few weeks
IF he could find room on the schedule.
Yup, I was a second class tradesman there by default of my shop to protect itself contractually. Believe me, I'm getting paid to drive a block or two away and to park, then make multiple trips to the job tripping over curbs, ditches, debris-----and HOMELESS, Night of the Living Dead, crackhead, street people.
