[QUOTE="dmac1, post: 4374530, member: 60252"] FEDEX was the defendant. I was a plaintiff. I claimed employee status in a lawsuit and in state court seeking unemployment benefits while fedex claimed I was a contractor. I was a so-called 'contractor' and a named plaintiff in the national suit filed in 2006, after deciding whether to sue on my own or as part of the class action. I won my case for unemployment benefits and got about $23k for that plus ~$40k in the class action. Fedex took it to the states highest court and couldn't win and that is when the attorneys deciding on whether to join the class action contacted me. This was after I told fedex I would stick to the contract when they tried to force me to cover some one else's contracted area 50 miles away from the area I was already serving. I had operated a supplemental van during peak in addition to my two contracted routes, and they knew I had an extra vehicle. So I know from my winning experience that simply having multiple routes and hiring people to drive for you doesn't mean you are not still an employee, depending on state laws. It was after that when I was in an accident, with what Trump thinks is great insurance. No coverage at all until you spend the deductible. Even bronze insurance level today is better. Obamacare changed EVERY plan- not just those in the exchanges so now everyone gets at least something minimal if they need it. [/QUOTE]
