This whole $730M amount seems very strange to me.
Surely if they were classified as employees instead of as contractors it would come with an accompanying pay decrease. If they decided to drive for Uber at the previously agreed rate as a contractor, wouldn't they also have accepted the job with a $730M pay cut if it came with a $730M reimbursement of their expenses?
It sounds like they want to get paid for certain things twice.
- nickff 10y agoThis lawsuit is not about what drivers want, it is about class-action lawyers and a named plaintiff getting paid out. You are right to say that the lawsuit will not benefit drivers, but the lawyers here are not looking to help the drivers at all. The 730M figure was the largest amount for which the lawyers could get a class-action case certified against a wealthy company.
