Numerous news sources have picked up on the class action law suit filed by Scott Bloch on behalf of former employees of Blackwater Worldwide, now called Xe Services, who had been misclassified as independent contractors and deprived of benefits Blackwater provided to others it called employees.

The Virginia Pilot, Fox News, Legal Times, and many others have reported on this.  See links below.
