Is this a partnership or an employer-employee


Owner, Son and Worker all ran a plant nursery. One day, Worker was drafted to fight in the Vietnam War. When he returned to the nursery 2 years later, he discovered that Owner had passed away and Son was now the owner. Son welcomed Worker back and said he would like to "take him in." They agreed that Son will run the business end and Worker will run the nursery itself - profits will be split monthly. There was no written Partnership Agreement. A few years later, Son and Worker engaged in a series of fierce arguments that ended in Son firing Worker. Worker claimed to be a Partner and not an employee - so Son could not fire him. They go to court. Is this a Partnership or an employer-employee relationship?
