This lawsuit is about whether FedEx Ground Package System, Inc. should classify package and delivery drivers as employees rather than independent contractors. Plaintiffs contend that because FedEx Ground Package System, Inc. maintained the right of control over how the package and delivery drivers conducted their work, the package and delivery drivers should be legally classified as employees rather than independent contractors. FedEx Ground Package System, Inc. disputes this contention. FedEx Ground Package System, Inc. denies that it did anything wrong and says that class members are independent contractors. The Court has not decided whether Plaintiffs or FedEx Ground Package System, Inc. will prevail.
