New Resources: 2 Pennsylvania UC Board Rulings - August 14, 2007

There have been rumors of letters from the Pennsylvania authorities to FedEx Ground and Home Delivery drivers in that state.

Something must be afoot in Penn.  Two recent Unemployment Compensation Board decisions that reversed previous rulings of ineligibility are another indication of stirrings in PA.  One case involved a claim from 2006 which took 6 months to reverse.   The second case was a claim from 2007 that took only 3 months to reverse.

Both Board decisions came to the same conclusion: FedEx had control over the driver, the driver didn't operate an independent business and the driver was an employee.
