SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Feb 3 – Lyft has been
sued by drivers and is seeking
to compel arbitration. On
August 14, 2020 U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York Judge
Ronnie Abrams held a
proceeding. Inner City Press
covered it and live tweeted
some of it, below.
Now on
February 3 Judge Abrams held
another proceeding in the
case, and Inner City Press
again covered it. Now other
cases against Lyft are being
eyed, with Judge Abrams asking
the parties for updates on
Haider v. Lyft before Judge
Nathan, and Aleksanian v. Uber
before Judge Carter. We'll be
watching them too.
From
August 2020: Lyft is being
sued over its "forced log off"
policy to subvert NYC TLC
rules.
The
Complaint says Lyft fooled
drivers into working full time
"by enticing driver with
higher pay if they would work
30 to 50+ hours a week." This
led to an "oversaturation of
the FHV ride market."
Plaintiff-drivers
are being asked to explain
what they want under
discovery, including on
interstate commerce.
Judge Abrams says
she may hold off entering the
case management plan for now.
At the end she
ruled that the drivers'
opposition to Lyft's motion to
compel arbitration is due
September 15.
The case is Islam
v. Lyft, Inc., 20-cv-3004
