Uber Decision: Labour Law Loophole Could be “the Death of Employment Law”
If you’re an Uber driver and want to fight your employer, you’d have to go to the Netherlands to do it. Employment Lawyer Lior Samfiru, partner at Samfiru Tumarkin LLP, joined The Morning Show on Global News Radio 640 Toronto to discuss this dangerous loophole found in Ontario’s labour laws and how Uber took advantage of it.
His firm launched a class-action lawsuit against Uber on behalf of thousands of drivers in Ontario.
