What Happened?
The New York Attorney General cracked down on Uber and Lyft after a multi-year investigation. The findings? Unfair treatment of drivers, with the App Giant’s policies leading to withheld earnings and denied benefits, in violation of New York labor laws.
What Was Withheld?
You might be eligible for compensation if you drove in New York and had deductions for New York sales tax and Black Car Fund fees. For Uber, the relevant dates are November 10, 2014, to May 22, 2017. For Lyft, it’s October 11, 2015, to July 31, 2017.
New Benefits
Besides the cash, there are new perks for drivers still using the apps in New York. These include sick leave, better payment options, training, and chat support, all available since February 29, 2024. If you haven’t already, check out these benefits in the respective driver apps.
