New York officials recognize three Uber drivers as employees
New York authorities have reached a decision that could change the way Uber drivers are classified -- at least when it comes to unemployment insurance. The New York State Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board has ruled in favor of three former Uber drivers who filed a federal lawsuit against the ride-hailing service after the unemployment insurance (UI) claim they made in 2016 didn't go through. Two of them left Uber after being booted off the platform, while the last one quit because he was making below minimum wage. The board's decision doesn't apply only to them, though, but also to other "similarly situated" Uber drivers.
