There have been 31 lawsuits filed against Federal Express on behalf of Fed Ex Ground and Fed Ex Home delivery workers who were illegally classified as independent contractors and unfairly denied benefits. These suits were filed in the following states: California, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Kansas, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin.

Fed Ex’s illegal classification of Fed Ex pick up and delivery drivers as independent contractors required these drivers to purchase or lease their trucks and pay for all operating expenses, including: workers compensation insurance, liability insurance, fuel, maintenance, etc. These lawsuits seek reimbursement of business expenses, wage deductions, damages as a result of FedEx's misrepresentations and unfair business practices as well as an order prohibiting FedEx from continuing to violate the laws.

How to Determine if You are an Independent Contractor or Employee?

State and federal laws were written to determine whether you are an independent contractor or employee. While the legal standards can vary somewhat, but generally you can determine if a worker is an independent contractor or an employee by the response to these questions:

• Does the DRIVER or COMPANY determine how the given work should be performed?
  If the answer is COMPANY, they are employee
• Are the services provided by the driver part of the regular business of the company?
  If the answer is YES, they are employee
• Does the company have the right to fire the driver?
  If the answer is YES, they are employee
• Does the driver provide services for companies other than one company (Fed Ex)?
  If the answer is NO, they are employee
• How has the driver worked for one company and only one company for an extended period of time?
  If the answer is YES, they are employee
• Is the drivers earnings potential based on the way they manage the route?
  If the answer is NO, they are employee
• Does the company have the right to control how the work is done?
  If the answer is YES, they are employee
