[QUOTE="FedExer267, post: 585075, member: 18716"] Ok bbsam you are looking for some input so lets talk about the guys in California. Yes they still work for a contractor but the judge did rule that they are indeed employees correct. Once Fed Ex Express is done and on there way to a union vote look for the teamsters to start a building by building campaign. They will start in the states where the drivers are employees. So if you indeed do own lets say 7 routes how many of those routes do you drive by yourself chances are you have hired 6 drivers. 6 drivers will vote yes because they want benefits, vacatoin pay, holiday pay, hourly pay and overtime well right there your outvoted 6 to 1 chances are it will fall on the contractors at first and when you cant do it Fed Ex will have to step in buy you out probally for cost and bye bye contractor model. Now that California Drivers are classified employees I am sure it is just a matter of time. The Teamsters will come strong after express gets their right to vote. I am pretty sure every contractor has more employees working for them especially when you own multiple routes. The contractors will get out voted employees will win and happily go union to start earning that FAIR DAYS PAY FOR A FAIR DAYS WORK something that many contractors are unwilling to provide. This may be why there are already union members in th ground parking lots handing out their flyers.. We shall see [/QUOTE]
