By Caitlin Huston Published: Sept 1, 2015 4:40 p.m. ET 105 9 A suit filed by three drivers against ride-hailing company Uber can proceed as a class action, a California federal judge ruled. This means the case will now involve about 160,000 other drivers in California. The drivers say they are employees of Uber, rather than independent contractors, and say Uber failed to reimburse them for expenses and failed to pay them the entire tip amounts given by riders. Uber argued that the drivers' claims didn't amount to a classwide problem and that it didn't have a uniform control or relationship across all drivers. The court found that the drivers met class action criteria on the issues of their employment status and tips, but said it was not convinced on the question of on expense reimbursement. The drivers include UberBlack, UberX and UberSUV drivers.

Has Uber shorted drivers? Maybe - & maybe a few drivers haven't read their contract. Making it a classs action is moronic and will do nothing to help/reimberse drivers as the loin's share of settlement always goes to the layers.
