[QUOTE="It will be fine, post: 1806163, member: 55017"] Obviously you didn't. Anyway, this ruling sounds pretty extreme and the issue likely won't end here. For arguments sake though, if it holds up, what then? I guess my employees could unionize and then have the teamsters negotiate with FedEx over compensation. That doesn't seem like a worthwhile use of the teamsters time. The teamsters have always been able to organize my drivers, they just never try, I imagine there is a reason for that. They have always been able to organize the handlers in the building, but I've never heard of that happening anywhere. They can't even get Freight organized and that has an easily defined employment relationship. It may be a problem at some point, but there will need to be clarification on the standards of what constitutes a joint-employer. Like always, we'll see. [/QUOTE]
