[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 801789, member: 12508"] Weak arguments. A contractor doesn't "run the show" at the jobsite, but does he have to wear a uniform, be there at a specific time, and be disciplined by someone he supposedly doesn't work for? No. At a jobsite, he/she probably has to wear a hardhat, and just show-up and do whatever it is they are supposed to do. If there's aproblem, the job foreman probably contacts the worker's boss, and it goes from there. Maybe they go on the job at 0700, or perhaps they come-in at 1400. All that matters is that the job is done in a timely manner that fits with the parameters of the project. Again, it's all a matter of degree. Does FedEx have oversight responsibilities? Certainly. But the [I]degree[/I] to which they exercise oversight exceeds the boundaries of a principal/agent agreement and becomes an employer/employee relationship. You say potato, I say potatoe. I still believe that the ISP model will eventually be shot down in flames. [/QUOTE]
