[QUOTE="bbsam, post: 558050, member: 22662"] ok, purplesky, disclosure: i am a ground contractor. and my question is not meant to be in the least bit provocative. what exactly do you mean by "going after"? the last i heard, the irs had dropped their claim to 2002 "unpaid taxes" and were "continuing to investigate" other years. and the recent article about attorneys general of the eight states had me wondering more than ever. why wouldn't these eight states simply bring charges against the company having to do with "misclassification". it seems like they think they have a weak case and would like to get concessions from the company in some other manner. As for working conditions for the drivers, yes they could be much better. i think the more effective approach to bringing about change is not necessarily attacking the company, but rewriting the law. that is, remove the ambiguity (and there is ambiguity) in the definition of an independent contractor. the irs is the same institution that has in the past validated and even helped to reform the ground ic model so it can only be disingenuous for the irs to turn around and complain about that model.
