UNITED STATES - AUGUST 08: A United Parcel Service driver returns to his truck after delivering packages in New York, U.S., on Friday, Aug. 8, 2008. FedEx Corp. drivers from 29 states, including New York, are suing the second-largest U.S. package-delivery company in Indiana, asking to be considered full-time employees rather than independent agents as their contracts with the company say. A FedEx loss might increase labor expense for the 14,000 drivers by 30 to 40 percent and cost another $1 billion in damages being sought in the lawsuit. Such a ruling would also threaten its cost advantage over United Parcel Service Inc., the biggest package-delivery company. (Photo by Jeremy Bales/Bloomberg via Getty Images)
