FedEx Home Delivery Gives Up in OregonIn December 2006, FedEx Home Delivery withdrew its appeal in the Oregon Court of Appeals of an administrative decision finding a multiple-vehicle ‘contractor’ (and his subcontracted drivers) to be an employee and eligible for unemployment benefits. Essentially, FedEx Ground and FedEx Home Delivery in Oregon admit that the ‘contractor’ designation wrongly denied Dennis McHenry and his drivers unemployment benefits. Other Ground and Home Delivery drivers in Oregon should immediately contact the Oregon Employment Department Director Laurie Warner (Phone: 503-947-1470 or email at laurie.a.warner@state.or.us) to ask for a determination regarding their employment status. You can find the Oregon Attorney General’s brief defending the state’s position at our Resource page.
