I'm glad you see the light and acknowledge that it is a "SCAM". Now go enlighten your brothers and sisters.I'll be waiting ..
Do other franchises lobby Congress to keep a scheme in place that lowers wages and eliminates benefits?
That happens not to be a structure of the model but of the law. And yes. Nearly every industry lobbies congress to keep costs low.

The US government uses defense contractors because it's cheaper.

Planning on buying a franchise to make grenades?
As vantexan mentioned, you don't see other huge companies lobbying and/or fighting in court over whether or not their workers are "employees". Why is that? For example, I have never seen McDonald's in court fighting similar charges. Again, why is that if Ground is a classic franchisee model?
Lipstick on a pig is still a pig. All you and your contractor brotheren prove is that it is a " legal scam". How long it stays legal is up for debate.My driver who used to be a preload supervisor was classified as "not eligible for rehire". Know how I was able to hire him? Because he works for me, not Fedex.

I don't think it's that easy. Just look at how many lawsuits have been filed on this matter, millions spent on fighting them and fines assessed against them, and who knows how much spent on lobbying to keep this scam "legal". Nothing easy about that and it will continue as long as they continue to do business this way.Lipstick on a pig is still a pig.

Actually, what it proves is that it does not matter how much control they WANT to have, they are still constrained by the agreement. And I think you miss just how relatively easy Fedex can massage the agreement to conform to whatever the government finds objectionable.
Bingo! This is what's so laughable, for a "legal and legitimate" business, they sure spend a lot of time in court rooms.I don't think it's that easy.
