[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 1308203, member: 12508"] Anecdotal evidence can serve to show how the contract is employer/employee, as in that reality proves that the contract is a farce. Contractor model are frequently found illegal, especially in the transportation industry, and there is a long list of trucking companies who have been found to have employees, not contrctors. The difference with FedEx is that they have a lot of resources, political, financial and legal, to throw at the issue. FedEx can only adjust the model so far, and even that won't compensate for their obviously increasing degree of control. If the contract says one thing, and actions say another, the FedEx has a problem. I'd say they are running out of options, and that some court will eventually see that legal language and operational reality don't synch. In other words, FedEx is running the show, not the ICs and ISPs, and the courts will have evidence to support that fact. [/QUOTE]
