The Virginia Court of Appeals declined Amazon Logistics’ claims that its Flex shipment motorists are independent specialists instead of workers, concurring the state’s work commission identified that Amazon fulfilled a bulk of the 20 aspects to reveal an employer-employee relationship.
Ronald Diggs, a Flex shipment motorist for Amazon Logistics, referred to as “‘ an Uber-like system’ of independent motorists who provide Amazon bundles,” submitted a joblessness claim in July 2019, however his claim was rejected due to the fact that the Virginia Work Commission discovered that Diggs stopped working to develop he had making in 2 quarters within the 2018 duration. He sent tax return revealing he was an Amazon Flex motorist in 2018 and asked for reconsideration, according to the appellate court’s viewpoint submitted Sept. 26.
