$200M Uber Class-Action Lawsuit Launched

 

While Uber labels its thousands of Ontario drivers as independent contractors, numerous aspects of the working relationship actually point towards an employer-employee relationship.

Employment lawyer Lior Samfiru, partner at Samfiru Tumarkin LLP, joined host Bill Carroll on Newstalk 580 CFRA to explain why his firm has launched the $200-million class-action lawsuit on behalf of Uber Eats driver David Heller and other drivers for the multinational business.

Samfiru also reveals that anybody who wants to challenge Uber with regards to a workplace issue must actually travel 6,000 km to The Netherlands to meet them in court!
