This is the first page of the agreement. In the middle of the bold page, you`ll see that Uber is called a technology company as opposed to a transportation company. They claim to be a technological platform because their legal problems are just beginning with the CA AB5 act. Under this law and in order to comply with the ABC test under AB5, Uber will soon reveal the passenger locations to all drivers, as well as the length of the journey and revenues! Would he have done it anyway without the threat of AB5? I doubt it, but I see this new development as a big positive for CA pilots. I hope it will be the norm across the country. If Lyft follows Uber in this case, it won`t be seen! Erin Sobat is a Grade 3 student at Osgoode Hall Law School. Prior to that, he earned a bachelor`s degree in history from McGill University. At Osgoode, Erin spent eight months as a work rights worker at Parkdale Community Legal Services. He has also been actively involved in the Osgoodes Chapter of the Law Union of Ontario, the Journal of Law and Social Policy and various other legal aid clinics. Erin will run at a trade union law firm in Toronto. Outside the law, he enjoys cooking, biking and reading science fiction on his balcony. There is no doubt that this decision will lead to more litigation over the validity of arbitration agreements.
The reasons of the majority and De Brown J. give little indication of what amounts to the unacceptable and what is contrary to public policy in arbitration agreements. Inventive lawyers will take advantage of this lack of education to build arguments if their clients regret the forum chosen for their arbitration or prefer the court process to arbitration for another reason. Other disputes are also to be expected regarding a “superficial” review of the documentation. I signed the previous agreements and continued, but on that occasion I decided to read the 27 pages. It took me a while, but I`m glad I made it. During the process, I noticed glaring changes in older versions. Not only will I mention a few, but I will also tell you how you can opt out of Uber`s mandatory arbitration decision. I`ve done it with all the previous Uber tos tos without consequences or retaliation, I`m still a driver on the platform. Uber will not disable drivers if they opt out of the deal. It`s your legal right to do so, but if you don`t log out, you lose the right to join future group actions and get paid! Hello: I sent the automated email to Uber so I could unsubscribe and here`s what I received. I found it really strange in what it was the automated response.
Please read and advise. Here is my email: I opt for the arbitration agreement in its entirety.
