[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 763785, member: 12508"] Here's where the "franchisee" idea falls completely apart. Several people have posted on this site that FedEx Ground is no different from a McDonald's franchise. Really? When a McDonald's employee has an issue, who handles it? The McDonald's corporation or the franchisee? Unless it's a major lawsuit or something drastic that affects the corporation, it's the franchisee who handles personnel and performance issues. There is no representative employee from the corporation on-site, quite unlike FedEx Ground, where the place is crawling with EMPLOYEE MANAGERS who hold "non-employee" drivers to a FedEx corporate standard. That sure sounds like an employer/employee relationship to me. Where is the IC? Oh, he's out having a truck fixed, or maybe he's on the golf course. The corporation and it's DIRECT EMPLOYEE REPRESENTATIVES (managers) have a direct and binding relationship with the drivers. How else could you hold the "non-employee" to a performance standard?
