Any flooring contractors in here?

My GC has a guy out at the job trying to scrape this stick down flooring up with a scraper tool and it isn't going very well for that guy. Anyone know how to get this stuff off the slab easier so I can pass the info along, save some money (time) and this poor dudes back?

Be careful pulling that up!  Many of the older vinyl floor tiles and any associated paper-like backing, mastic, adhesive or glue, may contain asbestos. In the past, asbestos fibers were added during the production of flooring materials to strengthen the flooring and to increase its durability.
