what the worker is up against
George Bush and Reagan judges ruled on this. Did any of you ever think of your Fedex driver as an entreprenaur



FedEx Workers Organize A Union, Court Says They Are Business Owners
by UnionReview
Monday 27 of April, 2009

This is being cross-posted from UnionReview.com.

Last week the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia decided that FedEx Home workers are entrepreneurs and not employees, and therefore they cannot organize a union.

The day after the decision was made, Ken Hall, Teamsters International Vice President and Director of the Teamsters Package Division said, “We are disappointed in the court’s decision to deprive FedEx drivers of the right to form unions and bargain for better working conditions and wages, leaving them at the mercy of this notoriously anti-worker company run by a member of the Forbes 2008 Billionaires Club. We are confident that the decision will not survive review by the full court or by the U.S. Supreme Court. “

This is about the misclassification of workers.
