[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 534290, member: 12508"] Talk to a few Ground drivers and ask them how many rules and policies they must adhere to, the vast majority of which are the same as an "employee". For now, the US Court of Appeals says they are "contractors", but that may change when and if this case goes to the Supreme Court. You can thank the Republican appointees on the Appeals Court for doing Fred's bidding. A true independent contractor makes his or her [I]own rules and schedules[/I] in accordance with state and Federal laws. A real estate agent is a good example. Nobody tells them what their hours are and they work as much or little as they see fit, and it's up to them to police their actions.This is certainly not the case at FedEx Ground, where they are expected to perform as an [B]employee, [/B]showing up at a scheduled time and doing a repetitive task according to strict rules, procedures, and electronic monitoring (via their version of the DIAD/PowerPad).
