Suit Claims Uber Saves Huge Sum By Misclassifying Drivers
The class action filed by Diva Limousine blames Uber's predatory pricing strategies for hurting legitimate chauffeured services.
 |
Uber has been fighting the perception that its drivers should be employees for quite some time. Both the UK and the state of California have concluded that drivers should be considered employees and entitled to minimum wage, holiday pay, and other benefits. Now, however, a US judge in Philadelphia has ruled that UberBlack drivers are not, in fact, employees under federal law.
The ruling only applies to Uber's limousine-like service, but could set precedence for the entire ride-sharing industry and the associated gig economy.

| about 6 months agoI have always believed and still do that Uber "Super " is just another word play like Alt -Lt or Alt Rt just another Tech company using borrowed money going after low hanging fruit. And our state an local gov took the bait. Just because they are commissioners that doesn't make them smart "Uber" Lol!! Using just a adjective for a word like rideshare. Took full advantage of the system smh.. I'm no attorney norbrain surgent. But the Minute they stood up in any city or state transportation meeting and told our commissioners Mayors or Govners that they're are not a transportation companies should have been the min Our so called learders put a stop to this.. do not pass go don't collect your $200 dollars.. wait wait im tripping our leaders have already taking the money my Bad.. Here's the rub the next time a mayor or leader says he loves rideshare and he or she started a business ask them how would that feel if gov decided to deregulate their business to allow you to sell across the street with no permits or background checks no occupation licences. Better yet.. loan me a few Billion dollars and I'm sure I could put a ton of hard honesty workers out of business..
