[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 5832605, member: 58386"] Looking at the U.S. Department of Labor final rule including the six point test used to determine worker classification it would appear that Fat Freddy and Raj is going to have to come up with the mother of all bull feces stories in order to keep their little "contractor" game going. There are several web sites and U Tube videos that have been posted by law firms and HR consulting firms that explains those new rules in everyday terms and applications including the fact that Fat Freddy needs only to fail one of the six tests rather than all of them in order to see his little house of straw getting blown away by a cyclone of law suits. It would appear that in the coming days Fat Freddy in order to keep his little scam up and running it will require quite a bit in the way of lessening the strict rules and constraints especially in the way of equipment, appearance standards ,transfer of ownership restrictions and operating exclusively under Fat Freddy's DOT authority. Will it result in another barrage of class action law suits? Perhaps. I would be thinking more along the lines of leaving it up to the DOJ to serve Fat Freddy a generous helping of humble pie. Will he be able to successfully defend his so called "independent contractor" model? Perhaps. At the same time however based on the new test it would appear that it won't be as easy as it was in the past. If you recall that under the terms of the out of court settlement of the multi state class action Fat Freddy got away without having to admit any fault of wrong doing. Might not be as simple, cheap and easy this time around. [/QUOTE]
