Uber's proposed class-action settlement leaves some dissatisfied

Privacy breach: 674 Uber drivers in the US were believed to have been affected by the breach, said Uber.

SAN FRANCISCO: Uber's proposed settlement of a high-profile class-action lawsuit last week has drawn opposition from some drivers and other concerned parties as the ride-hailing service seeks to avoid reclassifying drivers as employees. 

The settlement, which still must be approved by a San Francisco federal judge, provides for a US$100mil (RM390.15mil) payout to drivers, who could get as little as US$12 (RM46.82) apiece or as much as a few thousand dollars, depending on how many miles they drove.
