Supreme Court brings Canada's Uber drivers a step closer to employee status

A food courier from UberEats on his bicycle in downtown Toronto.

In a decision today, the high court upheld an Ontario Court of Appeal decision that opened the door to a class-action suit aimed at securing a minimum wage, vacation pay and other benefits for drivers. He argues that Uber drivers are employees, which entitles them to protections under Ontario’s Employment Standards Act.

Heller earns about $400 to $600 a week before paying taxes and expenses, using his own vehicle and working 40 to 50 hours a week, amounting to revenue between $21,000 and $31,000 annually.In its decision, the Supreme Court says the arbitration agreement is invalid, noting someone in Heller’s position could not be expected to appreciate the financial and legal implications of the arbitration clause.
