[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 4742916, member: 58386"] By your own admission and plainly stated that you personally would find these terms unacceptable. So what makes you think that I or anyone for that matter would find them acceptable and not seek to improve upon them in an effort to make them more balanced more acceptable and to create the necessary separation normally associated with the word 'Independent"? So what's the point in continuing to defend a set of terms that you by your own admission found unacceptable other than the fact that in your professional opinion what isn't good enough for you is good enough for somebody else? Let's see you try spinning that one. Now tell me something . What was your point in posting an image of your EMPLOYEE manual? We're not talking about employees. We're talking about a group of people who are without employee status and the rights to due process . The only thing that manual accomplishes is to state for the record the conduct rules and disciplines for EMPLOYEES. For contractors without the benefit of a stated discipline and the limits of that discipline the company is free to do whatever it damn well pleases which is to this day a source of disdain for contractor employees who are not Fedex employees but still subjected to whatever discipline and penalties terminal management feels like dealing out including termination without cause even though the driver is not the employee of Fedex. Let's see you spin that one. What would your response be if your customer (your only one) demanded the termination of your employee even though it's YOUR EMPLOYEE NOT HIS and in your estimation didn't deserve to be fired but you're given no choice because your one and only customer refuses to do business with you which would ruin you unless you allowed yourself to be blackmailed in this manner? Would you allow yourself to be blackmailed in that fashion? This happens to Ground contractors all the time. [/QUOTE]
