Judge grants class action status to Uber drivers who are suing to be classified as employees

A San Francisco judge ruled Tuesday that Uber drivers in California are entitled to a class action case.

Judge Edward Chen's ruling defined the class as:

All UberBlack, UberX, and UberSUV drivers who have driven for Uber in the state of California at any time since August 16, 2009, and who (1) signed up to drive directly with Uber or an Uber subsidiary under their individual name, and (2) are/were paid by Uber or an Uber subsidiary directly and in their individual name, and (3) did not electronically accept any contract with Uber or one of Uber's subsidiaries which contains the notice and opt-out provisions previously ordered by this Court (including those contracts listed in the Appendix to this Order), unless the driver timely opted-out of that contract's arbitration agreement.
