The Canadian top court's ruling may eventually open the way to the class action suit, which could have a deep impact on firms like Uber, which hire workers on flexible contracts that allow them to work simultaneously for different companies, but provide no guarantee of minimum work hours or pay. — Reuters
OTTAWA: Canada's Supreme Court on Nov 6 heard arguments in an appeal by Uber Technologies Inc against a ruling in favour of one of its drivers that could affect how the country classifies workers in the so-called gig economy.
Uber is seeking to overturn a lower-court ruling that had paved the way for UberEats driver David Heller to file a class action suit aimed at securing a minimum wage, vacation pay and other benefits for himself and other drivers.
