A class action lawsuit has been filed against Uber on behalf of drivers in Texas, one of whom is claiming that they are not receiving the tips owed to them. The Uber driver instigating the suit, referred to only as Chris, claims that Uber is falsely advertising that a gratuity is automatically included in the cost of its ride-sharing service, he said: “Customers are being told that tipping is actually included in the fare, which is a lie. Tipping is not included in the fare.” A similar lawsuit is being heard in California courts, and Houston attorney Ross Sears says he expects thousands of Texas Uber drivers will join this one.
