Uber has been involved in a number of lawsuits and settlements. In 2016, Uber agreed to pay $20 million to settle two class action lawsuits. The first lawsuit claimed that Uber had misrepresented the amount of money its drivers could earn, and the second claimed that Uber had failed to properly background check its drivers.
In 2017, Uber agreed to pay $7.5 million to settle a class action lawsuit alleging that it had misclassified its drivers as independent contractors rather than employees.
In 2018, Uber agreed to pay $148 million to settle a class action lawsuit alleging that it had violated California law by failing to provide proper rest breaks and compensation for expenses such as gas and vehicle maintenance.
