[QUOTE="dmac1, post: 2440260, member: 60252"] I can't see how someone could be added to the class unless they meet the definition of who the lawyers agreed to represent. And since those drivers had nothing in common as to treatment by fedex, since every contractor paid differently, including them in this class action probably won't be approved. I do think that there are probably claims that could be made that they were fedex employees, but they need to make those claims separately because of how different they are from 'contractor's' claims. Just for example- the business support package charged contractors for things that are illegal to charge employees for in almost every state. Those who drove for 'contractors' made no such payments. And I was disappointed that I didn't get a separate payment for each of my contracted routes, but understand that in my state, those weren't and couldn't be covered under the lawsuit. And now it is way too late to file another lawsuit, and there isn't an attorney who would take such a huge case with so few people in the same predicament as I was, in my state. Part of the reason that the california settlement was bigger is because under that state's laws, different expenses were found to be something fedex should have paid. [/QUOTE]
