[QUOTE="dmac1, post: 1863245, member: 60252"] They ARE making offers to contractors because in CA even the ISP is very legally suspect and fedex knows that. Instead of facing more legal costs, Fedex is buying routes with the stipulation that the acceptance settles all legal claims.I suppose you didn't read about the lawsuit that found McDonalds was the co-employer of people employed by the franchisees. If fedex is the co-employer, as the dep pockets, they will assume all liability for costs. Why would fedex want to be a co-employer with some loser? It was after that McDonalds casewhen fedex started the buyout. ISPs in CA are not willing to buynew routes from contractors because most of them know the ramifications. California is just the first. If fedex can limit the number of class members in a lawsuit by buying back routes in exchange for quit claims, they limit their damages. Are you unaware that damages were assessed at an average of $100k per contractor in just the decision from the 9th circuit court??????? Not all states have the same laws, but fedex won't want to operate one system in the largest state plus others, and another system in other states. Fedex wants to be done with the lawsuits. Over 1/4 of a billion dollars lost in just one state is making Fred rethink things. [/QUOTE]
