Question:
Alfie was very excited to get hired by We Drive U, a new start-up ride-share company. Alfie had to use his own car, and pay for his own insurance and gas, but he bought himself a new Mercedes years ago when he turned 35 and has kept it in mint condition with low mileage. After a few months of driving, Alfie started to feel that the younger drivers were being given better fares than he was. When he complained, he was told to be happy he had a job at his age. He also didn’t think it was fair that he did not get overtime when he worked very busy weeks (sometimes more than 50 hours). He’s thinking about filing some kind of claim against the company. Discuss Alfie’s options. Would he be able to bring any kind of action against We Drive U? Why or why not?
