FedEx drivers win $14.4 mln in pay row: L.A.Times
(Reuters) – A court-appointed official has awarded about 200 California drivers for FedEx Corp $14.4 million in a dispute over whether the package delivery company illegally classified them as independent contractors instead of employees, the Los Angeles Times reported. The award, which is for job-related expenses and interest, is about $9 million more than was awarded to the drivers by a trial court in 2005, the paper said, quoting lawyers of the drivers.
FedEx told the Times it would review the recommendation and contest any disputed items. The Memphis, Tennessee-based company did not immediately return calls made by Reuters seeking comment.
