[QUOTE="dmac1, post: 3888610, member: 60252"] I've been saying for a long time that is more like a franchise that a truly independent business, and the similarity is why I think that Fedex could someday be found to be co-employers. I think it was McDonalds who was held liable for a franchise employee's claims and McD was found to be a co-employer. It has probably been avoided by fedex by settling out of court. It is how fedex avoided IRS issues for years, and I would bet that fedex has paid off in lawsuits where a ground driver caused injury or death, or severe property damages. Corporations can avoid responsibility for violating employment laws if they can avoid going to court. [/QUOTE]
