The Judge has dismissed Pazzaneze's motion to dismiss! There are too many "factual disputes".
Well, no kidding. Where IS the 50% of the base plus 100% of the gratuity I supposedly received for those 1100 jobs I did? ELEVEN HUNDRED. For which I was paid SEVENTEEN bucks plus gratuity.
Now it either goes to trial or a resolution must be reached.
I don't care if it goes to trial. I've waited this long already. I've a feeling the opposing party will not like the information revealed at a trial, and a Pandora's Box will open.

Strange Defense Strategy
The defense claims that I essentially "had a business" because the two clients I drive came to a new company with me. Did CTG complain when they were the ones billing those two clients for about 40K? Of course not. Did they object to providing services to those clients when I drove for CTG? Of course not. Now they want to insinuate that I am a businessperson because those two clients left CTG when I did.
What a JOKE.
NEWSFLASH! I was ill this past Monday and one client actually ALLOWED herself to be driven by another Chauffeur, and when I was on a stretch as-directed Friday evening, the other client was driven by yet another Chauffeur!!!!!
I guess this means they accept the fact that I am not always available and therefore, may be driven by another Chauffeur on occasion.

Under Advisement And Other News......
The lawsuit has been taken under advisement by a Judge who will decide whether or not this case should proceed.
News Flash! The two clients I drove BEFORE I went to CTG and after I left have ridden with other Chauffeurs when I am sick or have the day off!!!! Your argument that I "have a business" won't wash. The clients aren't MINE. They are people who pay whatever company I am working for. You will receive the receipts the clients paid, but that will also include who the Chauffeur was on that particular day.
The funniest moment had to be when Mr. Pazzaneze's lawyer told my lawyer that I "threw coffee on his town car at Logan Airport."
What's more embarrassing? You having to lie or the fact that you are now back to driving your own car again because you don't want to or can't afford to pay employees?
Trust me, if I threw coffee at a CTG vehicle, Mr. Pazzaneze would have called my employer so fast it's not even funny. Why the lies, Mike? Are you that worried? Maybe you should be worried since I am in the process of going through all 1100 jobs and figuring out the 50% of the base you supposedly paid me. Remember the agreement "we have"? The one you mentioned when you signed a deposition under penalty of perjury? The one that doesn't actually exist?
The President of the New England Livery Association is a liar. What type of man lies about women? Weak ones.

Request To Dismiss Will Be Heard In Court on April 7, 2009
CTG's request to dismiss my case will be heard this Tuesday morning.
Stay turned.
Stay turned.
Let The Subpeonas Fly, Baby!
Well, well, well.....the attorney for CTG has subpoenaed the two clients I drove exclusively at CTG and the company I now work for, since both those clients decided to switch livery companies when I left CTG. They want to establish that I received money from the two clients, thereby making me an Independent Contractor, and that I am currently employed on a 1099-basis for my employer.
GUESS WHAT, YOU DOPE? I NEVER RECEIVED A PENNY FROM ANY CLIENT THAT WAS PAID DIRECTLY TO ME AND I AM A W-2 EMPLOYEE AT MY CURRENT COMPANY. DON'T YOU REMEMBER BILLING THE CLIENTS AND PAYING ME 10 BUCKS PER HOUR PLUS GRATUITY FOR ALL THOSE AS-DIRECTEDS?
Nice try attempting to get my employer to give YOU the names of everyone I have driven since I joined this company. Isn't your so-called attorney smart enough to know that my employer doesn't have to provide you with any information proprietary to their business? Did you think you were just going to get the names of the companies we service so you could go after that business with lower prices? What an effing joke you are. The only information you are entitled to is the date I started with my new employer and whether or not I am an employee or an Independent Contractor. You aren't getting a copy of all my driver trip-tickets.

I'm Still Waiting, Pazzaneze
I left you a message telling you I must have an accurate 1099. One that does not have the phony company name "NC Professional Services" on it, as well as a letter from you stating why you could not meet the federal guidelines for delivering this 1099 to me prior to the cut-off date of January 31, 2009.
As an aside, your claim that I was working for another company during my last week with CTG is not only a lie, but a contradiction to the definition of what an Independent Contractor is allowed to do by law. I can work for whomever I want, whenever I want. I am FREE FROM CONTROL. Too bad it isn't true.....
The truth never did matter to you, but your lies will catch up with you. One can only skirt the taxman for so long. Those years and years and years of 1099s you never sent to the IRS because of "agreements" you had with certain Drivers will be your downfall.
If you were a smart man, you'd settle this matter. Once a certain person who worked in your office for 9 years while on disability from Hewlett Packard (who you paid checks to under her husband's name) receives a subpoena, the house of cards will fall.

The Case Of The Phony 1099
Well, imagine my surprise when I received a 1099 today for 2008. Yes it arrived 13 days after the IRS cut-off date for receipt of a 1099. 1099 must be sent to the Independent Contractor no later than January 31, 2009 for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008.
What do they care? It's not like they're legal or ethical, for God's sake.
What was even more shocking than receiving this official document past the date I should have received it was the fact that they actually gave me a business name.
My name and then NC Professional Services. NC Professional Services? Who the HELL is that? I don't own a business. I am not incorporated. I don't DBA NC Professional Services. I have never applied for or claimed to be NC Professional Services.
Chauffeured Transportation Group was kind enough to actually give me a business name! Isn't that special? Sure it is. It's also ILLEGAL as hell.
