[QUOTE="dmac1, post: 1865099, member: 60252"] Contractors signed on to the lawsuits because fedex was treating them like employees and making arbitrary rules. Those people wanted to be independent, but fedex wouldn't let them. SO by law, since they were employees, they decided to sue because fedex was breaking the law. Fedex worked over the years to get rid of the free thinking entrepreneurs and kept those who really just need a big daddy figure to tell them how to operate their business. If it is your business, why can't you hire anyone you want, even if they don't have experience? Why can't you hire them, train them over a period of time, and decide for yourself if they are ready? Why do you give up your rights when it is suppose to be your business? Why can't you operate a chevy spark loaded up with 10-15 packages without fedex approval to deliver remote packages? Why not a motorcycle? Why can't you subcontract with someone instead of being required to treat your drivers as employees? Fedex needs to quit worrying about how the package gets delivered. Until then, you are an employee who thinks he is a contractor. Rules like requiring a driver to carry additional work if his contracted area only had 7.5 hours work, while their arbitrary rules demanded 9.5 hours or more to satisfy the engineers. Rules like arbitrarily disallowing use of a perfectly fine vehicle because it didn't match their corporated decicion to go to a new style of vehicle. Contractors who didn't want to upgrade to a bigger vehicle even though they were still servicing their contracted area were non-renewed even though they had met or exceeded performance standards. You seem totally unaware that fedex has an entire set of rules in their 'handbooks' that are completely extra-contractual, yet you are required to follow them. [/QUOTE]
