Contract Drivers Sue FedEx Over Status
From Associated Press
FedEx Corp. drivers argue in a federal lawsuit that the package delivery company wrongly employs them as independent contractors when they should be company employees.
The suit, filed in U.S. District Court in Memphis, Tenn., seeks to represent more than 1,000 drivers from across Tennessee and is similar to lawsuits filed against FedEx in other states.
This suit was filed by eight FedEx Ground drivers from the Memphis area, who accuse the company of classifying them as independent contractors to deny them employee benefits.
