Uber Drivers: Employees or Independent Contractors?

What this episode covers

Uber, Lyft, and other similar digital labour arbitrage platforms are facing legal challenges around the world to keep part of their workforce, drivers, classified as independent contractors. Nadia and Antonio review two recent cases dealing with these challenges, one coming out from the Supreme Court of Canada and the other from the Superior Court of California. Ironically enough, near Silicon Valley. Nadia kicks us off with the Canadian decision. And in the next part of the episode, Antonio will tackle the San Francisco's decision. This is a two parts episode. Common law, laws and regulations may change after the release of this episode. Consult a workplace lawyer before making decisions and taking steps about these matters.
