[QUOTE="dmac1, post: 4375167, member: 60252"] I don't know if the state ever went after back taxes they would have owed for me. I know they had to pay for the unemployment claims me and my drivers filed. But again, something about state law limited the states ability to make claims for people who didn't file themselves. If the class action had gone to a jury trial instead of a settlement, it would possibly have made it possible for the state to go after back taxes, because a jury trial would have found legally that all drivers/contractors were fedex employees. My case found ME to be an employee under state law. This is just an example of why fedex wants to settle cases rather than have trials. FEDEX got off easy by settling. There was NO final legal finding that the contract was actually an employment contract. And there has been no ruling that the current contract is or is not an employment contract, with ISPs being employee managers vs real independent businesses, with the ISP being duped into investing his/her own funds to provide the service. It didn't matter in my case that I had purchased multiple vehicles or had multiple people working for me. I was still under fedex's almost total direction. [/QUOTE]
