Following the California and Massachusetts lawsuits, Uber is now facing a fresh one concerning the status of its drivers. The North District of Illinois has filed a suit wanting to re-clarify drivers as employees instead of contractors. Although Uber has had to recently pay out up to $100m to its drivers, it has not had to reclassify them as employees, as this would entitle them to a range of benefits.
