[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 534362, member: 12508"] I know a fair amount about real estate, having been in the business for over 15 years as a sideline, so I do have direct knowledge of the subject. Yes, I have a broker, and yes, I have many legal responsibilities and a fiduciary relationship with my clients. [B]But, [/B]I am an independent contractor as well. I pay my broker a desk fee and consult with her on legal matters pertaining to real estate, but that's about it. I sign papers in her office and use the broker's secretary, copier,and supplies that come with my desk fee. I set my own hours and work when I choose to, which is evenings and weekends due to my FedEx job, which I keep because I do get benefits. It's certainly not for the pay. What would your real estate experience be? IC's at FedEx are not "winging it" either, to use your term. They have definite contractual responsibilities to FedEx. Where they do "wing it", is with their workers, who are generally paid like crap, get no benefits at all, and are instantly disposable to the IC. FedEx has changed the rules as they've gone along, which I doubt you know. IC's can no longer be single vehicle operations...that's how FedEx is getting around the "employee" issue...by making IC's "managers". Under the new plan, they might squeak by legally, but under the old plan they were employees. So smart guy, pull your head out and quit acting like you've got it all figured out. This case is headed to the Supreme Court because nobody else has been able to decide it. Where did you get your J.D (that's a law degree)? [/QUOTE]
