The California labor commission has ruled Uber driver is employee

The California labor commission has ruled that Uber driver is not conductor but employee.

This decision was thought to send big impact to the authority's behavior against On-demand labor and management of Uber.

Because Uber doesn't need to take care of driver's social security, compensation insurance, and unemployment insurance as the understanding that on-dmand labor let self-employed drivers subcontract the job. This contributes Uber to reduce management cost.

On the other hand, Uber driver remained unable to arrest their fundamental labor's rights like above and they ended up being abused by Uber.

Uber carries their point consistently "What we provide to customers is perfectly neutral technology platform and a driver is a conductor who subcontracts the job so mark off a boundary between our task and driver's task. "

The California labor commission says "It is hardly able to say "independent driver" that uber monitors driver's evaluation constantly and in the case that the number of stars is less than 4.6, which becomes subject to being excluded from job, which means uber practically has authority to decide to assign work for drivers. "

This dicision made by the California labor commission is applied only in California. However this thing must worry uber into an influence on Uber's IPO in the future because the head quarter is located in California.
