[QUOTE="FedExer267, post: 673200, member: 18716"] I couldn,t agree with you more MRFEDEX the bottomline comes down to what we have been saying all along we are employees just screwed out of the benefits that goes with being a employee. I can understand the need for FEDEX to say something when it comes down to DUI'S, and reckless driving but parking tickets and fix it tickets are you kidding me and now we will get suspensions for 6 hours of service violations of up to 12 months. I have heard that alot of contractors want out now because they aren't running their own business just paying the costs of running FEDEX's business. What happens when drivers start falling off like flies and they cant service the areas they have Contracts get pulled and they are left holding the bag. I like the idea of writing letters to the AG's of every state basically it comes down to FEDEX believing they can get away with anything. If you want to treat us like employees, monitor us like employees, and penalize us like employees then you need to pay us like them too and allow us the same benefits you offer to your employees. If you are a Independent Contractor you should be allowed to run your business with out the outside interferance as long as the contracts are getting serviced. I have said it before FEDEX is saving millions on the whole independent contractor scheme and if they are going to want to run the show they need to recognize the frontline at ground and treat us like employees. It will be intresting to see how this all plays out. [/QUOTE]
