[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 1121257, member: 24302"] To reach the high court a case has to lose at a series of lower courts, being appealed up to the next highest one. Then the Supreme Court, if it reaches them, looks at all the cases before them and decides which ones to review. If not reviewed then the previous court's ruling stands. Because the ISP model is structured to satisfy the courts, and there is legal precedent from cases won by FedEx, there has to be some compelling reason for it to reach the Supreme Court and be considered over other cases. The only thing I can think of is using contractors becomes commonplace in the workplace amongst many industries and the courts might want to define what is permissible and what goes too far. Unfortunately I doubt that they care if we feel we aren't getting paid well enough. It's not slavery and people are free to choose whether to accept a job and it's legal conditions or not. I was looking at jobs listed on the Texas Workforce Commission website yesterday and it's amazing how little many jobs pay, including trucking jobs that require a Class A license with various endorsements. I want better pay too, but it's highly unlikely due to the RLA that I'll get it. But more than anything I just want FedEx to honor their promises, and the courts can't instill honor in pirates.
