Lyft treats drivers with more respect than Uber — Staffing quote of the week

February 02, 2016

Uber drivers complain frequently about how they feel they are mistreated, Shannon Liss-Riordan, the attorney representing both Lyft drivers and Uber drivers in their respective cases, told the San Jose Mercury News in a story about the Lyft and Uber independent contractor misclassification lawsuits. Liss-Riordan cited issues such as “cutting fares without their input, shortchanging them on pay they are owed and deactivating them for no legitimate reason,” among other things.

“We have not been hearing so many concerns from Lyft drivers, which leads us to believe that Lyft is treating its drivers with more respect than Uber is treating its drivers,” she said. “It cements our belief that far more Uber drivers than Lyft drivers are anxious for us to continue pursuing these misclassification claims against Uber.”
