Seems everyone is stepping up to the FedEx cash machine for their fair share of the big dollar payouts guaranteed in this labor pool nightmare. Lawyers working on behalf of the misclassified home delivery drivers hit pay dirt today walking away with a whopping $14.4 million dollar judgment. A retired Superior Court Judge called upon to determine the additional compensation drivers would receive surprised everyone with a dollar amount much greater than expected.

Today's ruling means FedEx is not only on the hook for its unpaid employer payroll taxes, heavy fines and penalties but now must shell out huge dollars to cover out of pocket expenses to the drivers. Although FedEx insists these drivers are not regualr employees they must comply and reimburse the workers. Industry experts following the on going FedEx saga estimate total out of pocket costs for this employer improper worker classification could go as high as $1 billion dollars before it's all said and done.

Similar pending cases filed by other home delivery drivers across the nation both at the state and federal levels can only mean equally large payouts. As these cases are brought to closure you can believe we are guaranteed top notch case coverage and the large dollar awards will definitely make headline news.

Should FedEx continue shelling out these huge payouts one might begin to think this group could beat the Feds in jumpstarting the U.S. economy!
