[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 5513204, member: 58386"] Spot on. As was noted earlier the contract is worthless because there's no governing legal authority in place with the power to make it binding on FDX. Sure, you have arbitration but guess who chooses to sit on the arbitration board? Not only that the issues that can be decided in arbitration are very narrow in scope and the party that decided that is the same one who reserved the right to decide who sits on the board. So what chance the contractor to win when the odds are so stacked against him? When the operation was started and run by Roadway, it wasn't perfect but it was overall agreeable. And the command and control was overall within reason. That all changed when Fat Freddy got. Migrant farm workers have better protection under the law than FDX contractors. The fate of all that money you have tied up in that venture large or small will always be decided by someone other than yourself. Spencer Patton was not too big to fail. He just wasn't big enough to hit back hard enough. [/QUOTE]
