Arbitration Agreeements
Agha v. Uber Technologies, Inc., No. 24-1749 (August 26, 2025) N.D. Ill., Eastern Div. (LEE) Affirmed.
A group of drivers brought a lawsuit against Uber Technologies, Inc., alleging that the company violated the Fair Labor Standards Act and Illinois wage laws by misclassifying them as independent contractors. The defendant moved the district court to compel the drivers to arbitrate their claims under the Federal Arbitration Act and Illinois Uniform Arbitration Act, citing provisions contained in their driver agreements. The district court granted the request as to three of four drivers. The fourth driver pursued a claim in state court where the state court concluded that the arbitration provisions were ineffectual because that driver had exercised his right to opt out of the applicable arbitration agreement. The district court then concluded that the doctrine of issue preclusion blocked defendant from relitigating the effect of the arbitration agreement as to the fourth driver. Defendant appealed and the Seventh Circuit affirmed. (KIRSCH and KOLAR, concurring)

Hopefully you are getting paid, Tempo, instead of being a sucker doing it for free!

An Army of Paid Creators Is Carpeting the Web With Political Content
Unlike celebrity influencers with large followings, these creators produce a blizzard of videos for a fraction of the cost of traditional online campaigns and, in the process, shift public conversation.
