Uber has been ordered to pay $1.1 million after more than a dozen of the company’s drivers discriminated against a blind woman and her guide dog.

Nearly one thousand drivers for the rideshare app Via are claiming they were falsely promised big earnings. Now, the drivers have taken the dispute to court.

Two ex-Uber drivers, James Farrar and Yaseen Aslam took Uber to Court five years ago over matters regarding basic workers’ rights. The two pursued the legal battle and won against the rideshare company on February 26.

On February 3, 2021, the California Supreme Court rejected a lawsuit that sought to overturn Proposition 22. Prop 22 is the ballot measure that has kept app-based ride-hailing and delivery drivers as independent contractors instead of employees eligible for benefits and job protections.

The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court has ruled that Uber cannot bind plaintiffs bringing discrimination claims against it to the forced arbitration agreement stated in its online terms and conditions. According to the Court, plaintiffs did not have reasonable notice of the contract’s terms, nor had they assented to the terms.
