[QUOTE="dmac1, post: 1847648, member: 60252"] If fedex wants to keep using 'independent contractors.' every terminal will need to be contracted to one company. If you are 'swapping packages' among contractors, and still need fedex permissions to do that or to buy routes, sell parts of routes, etc, you are not really an IC. Fedex needs to contract out the entire delivery portion of their ground delivery, maybe even including sort, to truly be a logistics company instead of a delivery company. And even then- if McDonald's franchise owners have co-employer status with McDonalds corporation, surely Fedex's IC model doesn't meet the standard of independence. This won't take just 2-3 years, but at least another decade while fedex fights the inevitable. Fedex will not be able to afford to have different systems in place in different states. In the end, it will be cheaper to have employees who provide vehicles. 1/4 of a billion dollars plus another $30k per route for remaining routes in Ca adds up to more than employees would have cost.
