Harwood Feffer LLP Announces Investigation of Uber's Labor and Business Practices

NEW YORK, June 18, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Harwood Feffer LLP (www.hfesq.com) is investigating Uber's labor and business practices. Our investigation concerns whether Uber's failure to recognize its drivers as employees violates state and federal labor laws. These laws provide important rights and protections for employees, including mandatory health care, mandatory maternity and paternity leave, unemployment insurance, and (depending on the state) reimbursement of business-related expenses (e.g., the cost of the car, gas, and cellphone data plan). Our investigation also concerns whether Uber is violating the agreements it makes with its drivers.

Harwood Feffer has been protecting individual employee rights for many years, serving as lead counsel in numerous cases in federal and state courts. Harwood Feffer currently serves as Co-Lead counsel in multidistrict federal litigation against FedEx Ground, Inc. (MDL-1700) concerning its labor and business practices respecting its drivers.
