Ok. Who is paying them?
The City of Burlington is paying them.

No breaks allowed! Right!?

Thank you for reporting this issue. The Department of Public Works will now begin its investigation into the matter.

TM,
Lets assume that they started work at 7:00 (Following Burlington's noise ordinance), it was 7:45. So work for 45 minutes and then take a break? Great work ethic.

So brave.
