so I guess one of the other attorneys for Uber is kind of a dick and the Court Has Taken Judicial Notice
-
-
now Boutrous is saying that the opt-out here is illusory. novel.
-
Liss-Riordan now arguing. She's saying that what the 400 happy campers want is irrelevant.
-
court reporter is having a hard time typing as fast as Liss-Riordan talks
-
Re: 400 Happy Campers - "Because this isn’t a popularity contest, we wanted to focus on the relevant issues."
-
She says that 50 drivers from the 400 wanted to be reimbursed for their expenses and didn't understand that was at stake
-
But that they were afraid to put their name on a document supporting the class action, because of fear of reprisal from Uber
-
SLR points out that fear of reprisal in employee-employer relationships is a factor in favor of class certification
-
Now onto the 17 contracts issue (multiple agreements, suggesting Factor 3 is a problem)
-
Break now ending.
-
this is going to take forever, and i'm already kind of sleepy
-
We're back on
-
AHAHAHA
-
Uber is pressing hard on _Borello_. They're saying that there are factors other than right of control need to be considered
-
Judge interrupts with, "It's not dispositive, but the right of control comes first and is the most important"
-
Uber: "Yes, you're absolutely right, but"
-
I'm anticipating that they're not looking forward to arguing over right of control
-
I love the way that Ted Boutrous says "Yes, you're absolutely right," like it means, "Yes, but actually I'm right"
-
Someone's phone is buzzing. If it's yours, knock that shit off.
-
Uber arguing it's not an employment agreement, it's a software licensing agreement.
-
Incredible.
-
Uber is talking up questions of facts. They're prepared for a trial. They just really really really don't want it to be a class action.
-
I mean, they're playing chicken. It might not be worthwhile case if it's not a class action.
-
I've never been so excited for years and years of litigation
-
Uber just tried to compare drivers to journalists. The journalists in the room just snickered slightly because it's ridiculous analogy
-
quit it with yr fan service, ted boutrous :3
-
like oh man you KNOW that analogy is ending up in all the papers tomorrow and it's getting ripped apart because journalists understand it
-
SLR: "Uber has made a big deal of how Uber doesn't restrict use of other apps..."
-
as a reminder, this is a class certification hearing. It's about whether this gets to be a class action. The class would be 160,000 drivers
-
We're in the weeds about employment law right now, at the certification phase, because lol Wal-Mart v Dukes >:(
-
(I'll explain about that later)
