AMA is not at all responsible, but knowing they're a good company, they will likely do something about it - while I agree it is somewhat shady practice on the drivers part, it is totally legal and no one forced them to agree to anything. I think the OP is aware they made a bad choice.

If only there was legislation governing consumer contracts that made it illegal to engage in shady business practices. Like some kind of Act that would make Trading more Fair.
All kidding aside, the Fair Trading Act prohibits a number of business practices that likely happen regularly. If you read section 6 of the act you might be surprised how many things are not "totally legal" in a consumer transaction in Alberta.
