Lawyers in Florida and Illinois have filed nationwide class action lawsuits seeking overtime pay and other benefits for Uber drivers.
The lawsuits come on the heels of a potential $100 million settlement by Uber Technologies just this past week over similar claims in class action lawsuits originating in California ad Massachusetts.
The Illinois lawsuit also seeks driver tips that were “earned but stolen by Uber, or were lost” due to Uber’s policies.
Under terms of last week’s settlement, which is yet to be approved by the presiding judge, Uber agreed to stop telling passengers that tips are included in the fares they pay.
