[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 5345741, member: 58386"] Spot on. Migrant farm workers have better protection under the law than FXG contractors. You have none of the rights afforded employed workers in the US but at the same time you also have none of the autonomy and pricing power a true business owner would normally have. I'm amused by these guys on here blowing smoke up their bodily orifices (it won't go anywhere else) trying to make the others believe that they can and will shift the balance of power between FXG and it's contractors to one that favors them. One thing is clear, contractors as a whole don't know what to do and even if they did know what to do they would never gain a majority consensus . And even if in the unlikely event they did gain a consensus they wouldn't stick with it long enough for it to matter. These little contractor dust ups happen every few years but nothing substantive ever comes out of it. About the best they can hope for is that the few pennies per stop Fat Freddy was going to give them in their next contract will be moved up and given to them now and everybody will act like something big happened.
