[QUOTE="bbsam, post: 783702, member: 22662"] MFE. Our terminal has gone from 22 contractors to 7 ISP's. Generally ISPs are going to make ALOT more money. We contractors who have been running multiple work areas for many, many years know exactly where we've been getting screwed and it is about to change. Look at those numbers for a minute. 22 to 7. With one fairly simple legal move Fedex has cut down to 1/3 the number of contractors who would potentially sue trying to claim that they are employees. Next move on to the fact that each one of those 7 ISP's have to actually negotiate their contract and one starts to get the feeling that if an ISP feels like he's getting screwed, maybe he needs to invest in better legal and business advisers and not try to blame the company. Finally, this is a smart and relatively cheap move for the company. They finally get away from the very expensive law suits and instead part of those funds to the more expensive ISP model and the new ISP's benefit from a greater revenue stream. Both sides can be happy with that. [/QUOTE]
