[QUOTE="Livin the Dream?, post: 553412, member: 21891"] We are in complete agreement - perhaps more than you know; I'll explain what I mean... You state "...To me, a FedEx ground driver looks like an employee...". I respect that opinion, although, to me, they qualify as ICs. And therein lies the rub - no matter how well written a law is, how it is followed is determined by its' interpretation. FedEx believes they have interpreted it in a way that they are doing no wrong. UPS / Teamsters made a stink because they interpreted the written law differently. This is what the Supreme Court was made for. FedEx is not flagrantly breaking the law and hoping they don't get in trouble - they are following the law to the letter [I][U]as they interpret it[/U][/I]. This is why UPS is pushing new legislation, because the existing laws allow what is being done at FedEx. [/QUOTE]
