Wisconsin Supreme Court upholds ruling, classifying some Amazon delivery drivers as employees.

Wisconsin Supreme Court upholds lower court ruling, declaring some Amazon delivery drivers to be employees rather than independent contractors. The ruling leaves a 2023 Wisconsin appeals court decision against Amazon in place, finding that drivers in the Amazon Flex program are part of the state's unemployment insurance system and entitled to jobless pay if they are laid off. This decision affects Amazon Logistics, which may face a tax bill of over $200,000.
