FedEx, Chamber of Commerce Publications on Contractors Contractor Dispute | Lobbying | National | Operations | |

In May 2006, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce released a publication on “alternative employment arrangements” like on-call workers, temporary workers and - of most interest to FedEx - independent contractors.  FedEx CEO Fred Smith “echoed” the Chamber report just days after its release in a speech before Chamber members in Washington.  This coordination between FedEx and the Chamber of Commerce marks another low-point in the attempts to misinform the public and politicians on “indepdenent contractors.”
