New resources: Tumulty case, FedEx Ground as "joint employer"

We've added the Tumulty vs FedEx Ground case to our Resources .  The plaintiff drivers were temp drivers at FedEx Ground and the judge ruled that FedEx was the joint employer under the Fair Labor Standards Act and Washington state law.  After having lost the argument that the drivers were employees of the contractors and not employees of FedEx Ground, the company quickly settled the case.  But knowing the danger of a ruling that FedEx Ground was the joint employer of temp drivers, FedEx immediately appealed to the Ninth Circuit.  FedEx doesn't want the summary judgment to stand in face of the driver insurgency and the multi-district litigation .
