Question

Are FedEX drivers independent contractors or not? Defend your answer.

Answer 1

Independent contractor status can indeed be considered as a key component of FeedEX business and this strategy has been successfully in implementation for years. Even during the 'Independent Contractor Mislabeling Case', it mentioned that for years, the 2300 ground workers are called and paid as independent contracters. Even it was leived a heavy fine as the cost of Independent Contractor misclassification on the whole. Taking all these views into consideration, it is correct to justify that FedEX drivers are indeed independent contractors on the whole.
