Yes, if the company owes you money, you can sue. Call an employment law attorney to discuss. Many of us offer a free initial phone consultation. Have your written contract, if any, with you when you call. Kristine Karila, Employment Law Attorney 949-481-6909
The facts describe definitely suggest you have a claim against the general contractor. Since you are a sub, you do not have the same rights as an employee, which means that your only remedy is the courts.
It may be that a strongly worded letter from an attorney is enough to shake the money loose. That is standard practice before filing a claim. I would contact an attorney in your area for assistance -- sometimes a letter from a lawyer has more force than a letter from the client alone.
