FedEx Lawsuit

As one would expect, Fedex Ground did not react favorably to the recent California Court of Appeals decision that held that Fedex Ground drivers should have been classified as full time employees as opposed to independent contractors at Fedex.  The brief story appeared recently in the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, and the reaction appears below:

“FedEx Ground said it disagrees with the ruling and is “evaluating its legal options.” Only 33 of the drivers in the suit still are working for the company.”

It’s not clear at this time what Fedex Ground’s options could possibly be.  The company has been taking a beating in nearly every arena in which this controversy has been adjudicated, and if you would like to gain an understanding of how your rights may be affected by this situation, you need to contact the Fedex overtime attorneys at Pulaski & Middleman today to schedule an initial consultation.
