SAN FRANCISCO — A California state judge said Thursday she is inclined to reject a proposed $7.75 million settlement that would resolve certain labor claims against Uber Technologies Inc., citing the deal’s “overbroad” release and a failure by the lawyers to support why the amount is sufficient.
The deal would resolve claims brought under California’s Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA) relating to Uber’s alleged misclassification of drivers as independent contractors dating back to 2013. It has touched off a feud between the lawyers who negotiated it and other attorneys with cases against Uber, who say the settlement value is too low.
