[QUOTE="dmac1, post: 2230521, member: 60252"] Fedex has and will settled, after years of stalling all the lawsuits they would lose in court already. They have avoided legal decisions by making these settlements and they have avoided punitive damages for breaking the laws. And by the time that these lawsuits get to court, the statute of limitations has run out for states to collect since they aren't part of the lawsuit. For example, the multi-state lawsuit was filed in 2006. It was 2015 before the courts decided in CA and OR that the 'contractors' were in reality employees as a matter of law. But the states weren't parties to these lawsuits. Fedex drug it out long enough to screw the taxpayers. While the 'contractors' got a piece of what they lost by being missclassified without any punitive damages, the states, counties, cities, and IRS got nothing for all those years fedex and drivers avoided taxes. In some areas, I know that misclassification and failure to pay things like unemployment and worker's comp can lead to double or even triple the amount fedex should have paid. That is simply pure unadulterated theft from all the other taxpayers in the country. Fedex has created a model to avoid taxes legally. But it isn't the contractor or ISP model. It is to intentionally missclassify, and then stall as long as possible until the taxing authorities can no longer collect what they would have owed. Even if fedex pays contractors every cent that being missclassified cost the contractor, fedex has still avoided taxes that their competitors are obliged to pay. Fedex has used the court system of the USA to legally avoid taxes that they should owe. The statute of limitations is way too short for criminal activities like this one that fedex set up to avoid paying their fair share. [/QUOTE]
