Judge settles case against Uber, offers 16L drivers $1 each
A US judge has approved a $7.75-million deal, offering 1.6 million (16 lakh) California drivers an average $1.08 each, to settle a lawsuit against Uber. According to a US law, the state keeps 75% of penalties while 25% will be given to the workers. The lawsuit, alleging labour-code violations, is one of the many lawsuits challenging Uber's contractor-based business model.
