[QUOTE="PiedmontSteward, post: 1120948, member: 42270"] The 1099 Independent Contractor scam is one of the ugliest things facing organized labor - on the ground, at least - today. The practice undercuts unionized labor costs and outright robs 1099 classified workers of overtime, benefits, retirement, et cetera. It also robs the coffers of cash-strapped local governments and contributes to reduced public services, roads not being repaired, cops not being hired, etc. That being said, there's a huge pissing contest against Ground workers on the FedEx boards here with the Express couriers. Granted, much of the work Express couriers did is being shifted over to Ground.. but that's no reason to rail against the Ground contractor. Everyone under the Federal Express umbrella is being exploited, no matter where the work is going. [/QUOTE]
