In simple terms its rude and a rip off. Its not very common to get a job set up hourly, because owners want to know what the job will cost in total. Its very fortunate for a contractor to get an hourly contract or arrangement. Having labor forces that stop working because they are on the phone or electronic device shows no gratitude for the work they were given. I'm not sure what the terms are here, but I'd like to see that contract. I'd find a way to stop them from working, find them in default if possible.
Then tell them, you want the job, its now lump sum, and there are other bidders.

I can see it already, boiler plate language covering lack of production due to this scenario.

Most jobs, you'll get a morning break in the trades, lunch.... any phone calls or texting can't be done then ?

I work in an office as of late, in the construction industry, my smart phone is nearby, I rarely use it. I don't have someone looking over my shoulder either, work is work and that's that. I have access to the net on my PC, and its only used strictly for work. Same with e-mail, all of it business, I do not want personal or other email, every one has a job number in the subject line, important attachments/documents.

Employers have trust issues because of these idiots that cannot abide by good work ethics and practices. What is wrong with people today, they don't have a clue as to what good work ethics are. At the company where I work there were people in higher level management positions that literally were caught gaming, one watching porn ! This was prior to my working there, going back years I believe. Because of that, my desk faces a wall with my back to the door, I don't do these things and have no interest in any of it. Gaming or porn at work, what the heck is wrong with these folks. My interest is getting my work done and being successful. I can clearly see I'll have to earn the trust so my desk can face the door. Thanks a lot jerks! LOL !
