[QUOTE="RustyPMcG, post: 767234, member: 30339"] In the case of an independent contractor, there's no one to fire. But that technicality aside, while they could fire you for doing something illegal on your own time, it's hard for an employer to cover their butts on that. They can easily fire you for a positive drug test when you show up for work. They can easily fire you for showing up under the influence. There's no need to deal with all the questionable legalities regarding behavior outside of work when that behavior leads so well to a situation at work that's so easy to justify. But back to the situation in the thread, I'm very puzzeled by it. Why would FedEx want to do anything that would make them appear to be more like an employer? Aren't they trying to do everything they can to make sure it is clear the Ground drivers AREN'T their employees? [/QUOTE]
