[QUOTE="JimJimmyJames, post: 532725, member: 11425"] If I am not mistaken, in order to avoid in the future the question of, "is a [I]single [/I]individual who contracts for FedEx Ground indeed an independent contractor, or actually an employee dressed up as a contractor", FedEx will be requiring that you must own multiple routes. Why? From the way I see it, it is much more plausible to say that the, lets say five, guys who work for a contractor, use his trucks, wear the uniforms he provides, etc. are employed by said contractor and not by FedEx Ground. Sure, those five guys could unionize, but is that realistic? What Fedex Ground would really have to worry about is if their contractors, who will be more like franchisees, will band together, in their own union of sorts, and demand better contract terms. Still, I suspect Fred S would rather deal with that than a company of union employees. [/QUOTE]
