More Corporate Criminals Nailed By Court
Scumbags.

Quote:This week in the war on workers: FedEx drivers win in court, can move forward with wage theft suit

Quote:Classifying drivers as independent contractors means FedEx isn't responsible for contributing to Social Security or Medicare and doesn't have to pay them overtime, among other things. So FedEx has worked hard to keep this scam going, insisting in its contracts that drivers, not the company, decide how and when to get their jobs done. The court disagreed:

"The drivers must wear FedEx uniforms, drive FedEx-approved vehicles, and groom themselves according to FedEx's appearance standards," Judge William Fletcher said in the 3-0 ruling. "FedEx tells its drivers what packages to deliver, on what days, and at what times."

Although the company does not dictate working hours, Fletcher said, it arranges workloads to make sure they work between 9 1/2 and 11 hours a day. He also noted that FedEx requires drivers to provide their own vans and specifies their dimensions, shelving and paint color.

I guess the guy who came up with this clever idea is now shitting his pants, if he already hasn't been fired.

ADT & a couple CATV companies are probably shitting themselves over this ruling.

Any other corps running their shop in a similar manner?

My wife's old boss tried this trick. It back fired on him after he demanded her to remove her headphones when she's working. FYI, he was a control freak.

My wife reported him to the IRS.
