Litigation Over Employment Status Averted by Settlement
California Minority Counsel Program's Summer Newsletter
August 2016
Jonathan Turner's article, "Update regarding Uber Drivers - Litigation Over Employment Status Averted by Settlement" was published in California Minority Counsel Program's Summer Newsletter.
From the article...
"The Fall 2015 issue of our newsletter included an article about Uber, and how it classifies drivers providing services using its online "service on demand" platform. As reported in that article, the California Labor Commissioner's Office, following an administrative hearing Berwick v. Uber Technologies, Inc. rejected Uber's position that the drivers were independent contractors, and found instead that they are employees."
