One month after Uber agreed to work with a drivers association, another driver group has filed a proposed class-action lawsuit against it.
On Thursday, the New York Taxi Workers Alliance (NYTWA) and 10 Uber drivers filed a lawsuit against Uber in a federal court that alleges the company cheated workers by classifying them as independent contractors. Driver plaintiffs in the proposed class action lawsuit say that some weeks they worked more than 40 hours without overtime pay and earned less than the minimum wage, both of which would be illegal if they had been classified as employees.
