FedEx Corp., the second-largest U.S. package-delivery company, projected handling about 8 percent more shipments on its busiest day before the Christmas holiday amid “positive signs” for the economy.
More than 13 million shipments will move on Dec. 14, up from 12 million on 2008’s peak on Dec. 15, FedEx said today in an e-mailed statement. That would be a daily record, and the gain would exceed last year’s increase of about 6 percent.

| | Discuss: FedEx: They're Employees. No, They're Not | | | FedEx: They're Employees. No, They're Not - Business Week
For years, shipping giant FedEx (FDX) has been at the center of this fracas because it treats 12,000 package deliverers in its FedEx Ground Div. as contractors. The company's current situation illustrates how murky the legal waters on this issue can get.
On Oct. 20 the attorneys general of New York, New Jersey, and Montana threatened to sue FedEx if it doesn't reclassify the 12,000 delivery people as full-time employees. The states say they are owed millions in payroll taxes and that FedEx workers deserve fringe benefits befitting full-time employees.
But just 10 days later the IRS announced that it was reversing a $319 million tax assessment against FedEx that had been based on the allegation that the company misclassified drivers as contractors. The IRS won't explain its action—and FedEx won't comment—but for federal tax purposes the drivers now appear to be independent contractors after all.

FedEx Corp said in a regulatory filing on Friday that the U.S. Internal Revenue Service had revised a employment tax audit notice against it for 2002 to drop assessment tied to FedEx Ground independent contractors, including those providing home delivery service.
In an e-mailed statement, a spokesman for the Memphis-based FedEx said the package delivery company was "pleased" with the outcome.
While similar issues remain under audit for calendar years 2004 through 2008, FedEx believes the same conclusion would be reached for those years too, the company said.

| | Discuss: The FedEx Fight | | | The FedEx Fight- Risk and Insurance
While classifying a roofer as a file clerk clearly represents some sort of fraud on the part of the insured, the same cannot be said of the independent contractor status many companies ascribe to workers who for all intents and purposes look, walk and talk not like a duck but an employee.
The most noteworthy case involves the nearly 10-year effort to force Memphis-based FedEx to treat its drivers as employees rather than independent contractors. Among the most vocal proponents have been the Teamsters Union, which has lost a prime organizing opportunity due to what they believe are the anti-union sentiments behind FedEx's widespread use of independent contractors.
In addition, the practice gives the company an advantage over its heavily unionized competitor, United Parcel Service.
