[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 284059, member: 12508"] FedEx always claims it will "vigorously defend" itself, even when it's crystal clear that they will lose the case in question.They were going to "vigorously defend" themselves on the California Break Violations lawsuit and the Black/Latino Management Case and settled both out of court for huge money because they realized they would lose even more at trial. It's all part and parcel of the FedEx squeaky clean public relations campaign that is doled-out each and every time they are caught screwing over their employees or otherwise behaving badly. They will say the same thing with the upcoming Age Discrimination suit as well. On a related subject, don't expect the Ground and Express divisions to merge operations any time soon. The latest angle on the Ground scam is offering incentives to drivers to become the managers of their own group of sub-contractor drivers, thereby avoiding paying any benefits and continuing to foist nearly all operating costs onto contractors, without creating any true employees.I've seen many ads in local papers and on-line advertising for such drivers. Apparently, the courts have bought-off on this garbage, which will allow FedEx Ground to pretty much operate as it always has. Ground and Express operations are entirely separate, including IT, which means Express drivers can't pick-up or deliver Ground items and vice-versa.
