[QUOTE="dmac1, post: 1864317, member: 60252"] And that's when the ISP model goes to court. If an ISP can't have unionized drivers, how independent is he???? The whole point is that hiring drivers and paying them doesn't make you any less of an employee when you are an integral part of the business, and fedex controls you. At best, you are a co-employer as an ISP, and fedex doesn't need co-employers. Did you even read the court decisions??? I did, and at least one state has ruled that the contractor with multiple drivers working for him was still an employee of fedex, and all the drivers were fedex employees. That contractor had 0 liability for any employment taxes, and fedex was liable for those taxes. That was in Oregon, and in California. It is fedex still retaining control that is the question. It is the RIGHT to control, and not the actual exercise of it that is the law. Fedex controls what the areas are, who you can hire, and REQUIRES that you have multiple employees. You are DEPENDENT UPON FEDEX, NOT INDEPENDENT. If fedex refuses to renew the contract, at least the ISP will be able to collect UI. Fedex will fight it, but they will lose. [/QUOTE]
