Schumer Calls For New ‘Altered’ Stretches Regulations
The New York senator says he will introduce a bill to require seat belts, stricter requirements for seats, and other safety features.

Uber is appealing the California Labor Commissioner’s decision that former Uber driver, Barbara Berwick, was an employee rather than an independent contractor. In her decision, Labor Commissioner Hearing Officer Stephanie Barrett awarded just over $4,000 in expenses and interest to Berwick. The award became public after Uber appealed the decision in the San Francisco County Superior Court on June 16.

Berwick filed her claim on Sept. 16, 2014, seeking unpaid wages for just over eight weeks of work, reimbursement of mileage and toll charges, liquidated damages, and waiting time penalties. She was not represented by an attorney.
