[QUOTE="racerx, post: 59209"] Rover the UPS Stores are franchises, not independent contractors. I dont think we have the liability of having to pay millions and millions in back pay and benefits like Fedex would have to do. The disgruntled UPS Store franchise owners have never claimed that they are defacto employees of UPS they are suing over the fact that they think the contract that they signed with us is unfair. As a matter of fact, if you asked any of these owners if they considered themselves UPSers, they would laugh in your face. What they are upset about is that under the Gold Shield program, the prices that they can charge for UPS shipping is controlled by UPS they can no longer charge $15 for a 1 lb ground package going across state. They are livid because we are telling them what they can and cant do. [/QUOTE]
