$15k per driver and the lawyers get $800k. Sounds about right. It’s a settlement so it changes nothing in terms of legality of the agreement.

Lawyers worked their asses of in school to get where they are while I partied my ass off and had a blast. I'm okay with this arrangement.

Just a business expense. If he didnt have the government ties I suspect he would have lost the RLA status long ago unless he paid what the government would consider real money.

True his political clout has certainly helped him but when the weasel kicks the bucket someday his son or some other successor ain't gonna have the same influence.
Because fedex settles almost all the cases before a trial, they are never forced to face state oversight. The states don't care if driver's are misclassified as long as they get their tax dollars.
In California, an exception was made to the labor laws for the uber, door dash, etc types as long as they were given some protection like worker's comp, and a guarantee of at least minimum wage earnings after expenses and paid waiting time. The drivers got to keep their feeling of independence by keeping the right to set their own hours. Many of them forgot that the company could just decide to use 'contractors' who would just work whenever the company wanted. If you can set your own availability, but the company decided to never use you, what good is flexible hours??????
