[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 801912, member: 12508"] The only way contractors will be cut out of the loop is if the ISP model is successfully challenged in the courts. Fred needs them to make it appear as though they are independent businessmen. In a sense, they are, but only to the extent they serve as a cloak over what is really happening. FedEx runs Ground just like they do Express, except that in the case of Ground they have the window dressing of contractors that prevent the necessity and expense of actual "employees". It's very evident that Ground drivers are being held to employee standards, so how long will it be before that gets proven legally? The scam of having employees who aren't legally considered to be as such saves FedEx huge money, and is really nothing but an illegal government subsidy that exists solely for the benefit of FedEx. When you pay slave-labor wages to your employees via this scam they are eligible for government assistance, as Fedexer267 has pointed-out many times. That means that you,me, and everyone else who pays taxes, helps subsidize Fred's labor pool of non-employees. Pretty smart, but unethical, and probably ultimately illegal. [/QUOTE]
