Uber: agreement with drivers to avoid trial costs 100 million dollars

Uber, the controversial giant app that offers paid passages, ended the dispute with 385mila drivers in the United States had launched two class action lawsuits demanding to be recognized as "employees" of the company. With the agreement, the company acknowledges the payment of $ 100 million (the first tranche of 84 million), avoiding to go through the "mass recruitment" and then the drivers "will be freelance and not the employees" . In this way, the San Francisco company closed the cases initiated by the American drivers.

Uber took the important decisions regarding the development of the app and then it works. Because the drivers are freelance, they can be banned if the service offered by them will not be considered up to standard.

The rating, which is the judgment of the passengers on the voyage, will have a very high weight. The vote will depend on the fate of "freelance" driving. The average of these evaluations will provide the ability to block Uber driver in case of an inadequate judgment or violations of the code of conduct published on the Uber website.

The same will happen in the event of misconduct on the part of the driver, the language used, the cunning taken to make the trip. The agreement must now be approved by the San Francisco court and, if it takes place, Uber able to avoid prosecution, which was to begin in June.
