At least this is not the case.
In this case, that is not true.
SuperShuttle shifted to a franchisee model. All of those drivers own (or lease) their van and they are now out of work and stuck with a vehicle which likely has no other use. They are also no longer employees and thus will not collect unemployment.
Bottom line is that the vast majority of staff are in deep financial trouble. Much worse than had they been employees and the outfit gone insolvent.
