Do you work as a driver for Uber or Lyft? Did you provide an opt-out notice to one or both of these companies regarding arbitration?
Uber and Lyft drivers often qualify as employees, despite being classified by the rideshare companies as independent contractors. As employees, these drivers would be entitled to lawful compensation and benefits that they are denied as independent contractors. The companies’ action of classifying drivers as independent contractors instead of employees is called “employee misclassification.”
Some gig economy drivers may not be eligible to file an employee misclassification lawsuit due to an arbitration agreement that compels them to pursue their legal claims out of court. However, drivers who opted out of this agreement with Lyft or Uber are able to take legal action for employee misclassification.
If you work as an Uber or Lyft driver anywhere in the United States and provided the company with an opt-out notice regarding arbitration, you are eligible for this employee misclassification class action lawsuit investigation.
