The US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit on March 3 issued a decision in favor of FedEx, denying enforcement of a decision by the National Labor Relations Board, which had held that single-route Ground Division drivers for FedEx were employees and not independent contractors, Richard Reibstein of Pepper Hamilton LLP writes in JD Supra Business Advisor. This was the second time that the DC Circuit denied enforcement of an NLRB decision that, if not reversed, would have required FedEx to bargain with a local Teamsters union as the representative of a bargaining unit of Ground Division drivers.
