[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 3923141, member: 58386"] Look, as an XG contractor you're not doing anything X can't do themselves except for two matters and two matters only.....The ability to do the job CHEAPER than they can do it themselves and to keep the Teamsters out as evidenced by the extraordinary command and control measures X takes legal or otherwise in order to ensure that you the contractor completes those two objectives. And if you can't it's hasta lavista baby and they then turn to some other party who has them convinced that they can do the job. Proclaiming you to be an "independent contractor" X used a very loosely defined term as a tool in order to acquire the most necessary component needed to keep this little scam going.....cheap nonunion labor. It can't function without it but the question is will there be a narrower and more clearly defined legal description of the term " independent contractor" in the days to come? Caught off guard by an unexpected downturn in the international air freight sector after making a huge investment in that space corporate will be looking in all areas for economies in an attempt shore up margins possibly at the expense of contractor margins. Recently the Brookings Institute released a study saying that 36 million American jobs could be eliminated by means of robotics and AI within a decade. With the supply of cheap unsuspecting labor thinning out in some sectors of the country the question might soon become how much additional money an XG contractor may have to put at risk in order to acquire robotic labor and autonomous driving delivery vehicles making it much more likely that through the use of that type of technology final mile delivery will be again be under the ownership and control of XG themselves because of their access to the mountain of required capital In the meantime without adequate supplies of cheap unsuspecting labor working their damn fool heads off for peanuts the game collapses. It is for that reason contractors need to get out ahead of it's disappearance . Let the next starry eyed "entrepreneur" wannabe figure out what to do about it. [/QUOTE]
