[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 1075018, member: 12508"] Meaningless? Hardly. Please cite sources indicating "The government WANTS the laws governing contract work to remain vague". You won't find any. In fact, a number of companies have been busted for violating the "degree of control" aspect of the law that I have mentioned many times. Owner/Operator trucking companies make-up the vast majority of those cases. The difference is that FedEx is a big player that has lots of politicians wholly owned by Fred S, not some Mom&Pop operation that cannot afford to fight. Next, where are the huge cost benefits to the government? Is forcing workers without any benefits to utilize Emergency Rooms for health care and Public Assistance for food/heat etc a benefit? Not in my book. UPS changing it's business model is unlikely since they have been unionized since the 1930's. Yiour rationale is BS. In fact, your whole post is BS. Unusual for you, since you usually have good arguments. Not this time. Quit trying to protect the scam and debate from a position of facts, not hyperbole. Ground is a government-subsidized scam that benefits Fred S and his ilk, not the general public. It's a gift from the US Congress to Mr. Smith for all that green he spreads around. [/QUOTE]
