The Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) has filed a complaint regarding Uber Technologies Inc.’s to the Ontario Labour Relations Board. The complaint explains that the technology company has violated the Labour Relations Act despite signing an agreement with the UFCW earlier this year.
An Ottawa employment lawyer at Samfiru Tumarkin LLP who is currently involved in an ongoing class-action lawsuit against Uber on behalf of David Heller, commented on the dilemma with the Canadian Press.
“There are still a lot of issues that come up on a daily basis between the drivers and between Uber and what seems clear to me… is that they want to, generally speaking, be recognized as employees,” the lawyer stated.
