Uber, Lyft, Amazon and other companies have been sued by workers who have been classified as independent contractors. The attorney for the plaintiff in one lawsuit stated, "...Uber holds themselves [sic] out as having this technological platform that just allows drivers and passengers to interact, but the reality is [that] Uber is involved in every aspect of the operation..." The attorney further stated that Uber controls, "how they [workers] do their jobs and for what price, for instance, "are evidence that they are being misclassified by the companies..." as independent contractors. In other words, the attorney contends that Uber has a high level of control over how the work is performed. By classifying drivers as independent contractors.
