[QUOTE="bbsam, post: 744421, member: 22662"] But you know what? It's groups like Fedex Watch that help screw these people. I'm quite certain that when these proceedings began Lynn Farris in her short-sightedness never saw the possibility that this would happen. In their world, contractors were employees and the company would be made to acknowledge that fact. Turns out that Fedex has simply basically admitted to screwing up, and said, "Well then we will change our business practices so that we really do use contractors." So the court says that SWA (single work area) contractors are misclassified and should be employees. Guess who get's hurt? Not the lawyers who have been handling this as a class action lawsuit. I'm sure there are alot of SWA's that had no problem with being contractors but because of groups like Fedex Watch either found themselves unemployed or working for less than what they had been making when their routes were basically absorbed. Unintended consequences but this outcome should have been seen as a possibility by the lawyers. Unless it was, but for financial gain they simply didn't pass that information on to their clients.
