FedEx Lawsuit

CBS News is reporting today that another legal ruling has come down, at least for the time being, against Fedex.  The news service is reporting that a federal judge has certified a class action lawsuit in which thousands of current and former drivers were discriminated against in that they were paid much less than their white colleagues. 

The case could potentially involve up to 11,000 workers, and the damages, if the plaintiffs win the case, could be astronomical depending on what’s proven and what isn’t.  As one would expect, Fedex is denying any wrongdoing, but given the judge’s recent ruling, they’ll have to do so in court and in front of a federal jury, unless a settlement is reached beforehand.

Once again, it’s unclear how any of this, if any of it, is related to the independent contractors vs. employees debate for Fedex’s drivers, but if you have been wronged in any way by Fedex, contact the Fedex overtime attorneys at Pulaski & Middleman today to schedule a free initial consultation.
