I remember reading a few years ago that a ground sta. in MA unionized. (only the handlers)
Then, I heard, recently, that that disbanded or something.
Who can tell me what happened in a nutshell?
It appears that MA is already an ISP state. Maybe your scam isn't so iron clad arfter all. It will be interesting to see how this plays out and how they will try to tweak the contractor model in MA and how it will affect other states.If Mass. isn't an ISP state yet, it soon will be.

Since you are the expert in this scam, why don't you explain how FedEx will change the model in MA to meet those requirements?read the last paragraph again.It appears that MA is already an ISP state.

That's not the way I read it. FedEx paid a settlement of $3 million in 2010. Implimented ISP in 2011 and this latest judgement states they still have not met the requirements for the B prong of the ABC law governing IC's.They went to the ISP model. That's how it was tweaked. Old lawsuit just running its course.
They already have " tweaked the model" and lost this lawsuit because they couldn't meet that B prong requirement. It opens the door for more lawsuits in MA.Right. Massachusetts has the strictest criteria. Tweak the model and carry on. Nothing Fedex hasn't dealt with before and unless states have a wholesale reform of criteria, should stay fairly localized to Massachusetts.
There is no end to the number of times and ways to tweak the model into compliance.
