                    Q  TLC also has a flexible spending plan.                         
               Correct?                                                               
                    A  Yes.                                                           
                    Q  And, again, some of the drivers participate and                
               some do not.                                                           
                    A  Correct.                                                       
                    Q  And the drivers who participate pay for that                   
               themselves through payroll withholding.  Correct?                      
                    A  Correct.                                                       
                    Q  And TLC also offers health insurance to the                    
               drivers.  Correct?                                                     
                    A  Yes.                                                           
                    Q  Now, in some instances, drivers pay for that                   
               health insurance solely through payroll deductions.                    
               Correct?                                                               
                    A  I believe that the trucking company had a                      
               participation level that they had to pay for.                          
                    Q  So your understanding is that as to health                     
               insurance, there was participation by the trucking                     
               companies in all cases or just some?                                   
                    A  Some.                                                          
               The parties’ stipulation of facts provided in pertinent                
          part:                                                                       
               The cost of the $5,000 group term life insurance policy                
               was paid for by TLC.  TLC bore the cost of                             
               administering the other * * * [employee benefits], but                 
               these administrative costs did not contribute to the                   
               direct costs of the benefits.  In most cases, the                      
               direct costs of the benefits were funded entirely by                   
               the Drivers through payroll deductions.  However, some                 
               Trucking Companies did contribute to the cost of the                   
               Drivers’ health insurance. * * *
