Uber Eats accused of IC misclassification in class-action (ClassAction.org)

June 22, 2020

An Uber Eats delivery driver filed a lawsuit Thursday claiming he was misclassified by Uber Technologies Inc. (NYSE: UBER) as an independent contractor and denied certain job protections under AB 5, California’s get-tough bill on independent contractor misclassification, ClassAction.org reported. The plaintiff, who began working for Uber Eats in January 2020, is represented by Shannon Liss-Riordan — an attorney known for launching class-action lawsuits against Uber and other human cloud platform firms over the issue of worker misclassification — and looks to represent all Uber Eats drivers who have worked in California.
