Uber drivers are not employees, according to a Pennsylvania court, in a ruling on whether ride-hailing app drivers can be eligible for minimum wages and overtime under state and federal laws.
The United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania granted Uber summary judgment in a lawsuit brought by three drivers who argued that spending more than 40 hours “online” or available to pick up riders should qualify them for overtime. The plaintiffs worked as part of Uber’s UberBLACK, or limousine services, and also own their own limo services.
