Two law firms have announced that they will initiate an opt-out class action lawsuit on behalf of South African Uber drivers. The lawsuit could cover as many as 20 000 South African Uber drivers. If successful, the legal bid will allow South African Uber drivers to pursue holiday pay and compensation for overtime under existing South African legislation. We hope that this class action in South Africa will enable South African Uber drivers to access those same rights". The statement said up to 20 000 South Africa Uber drivers could be covered by the opt-out class action lawsuit.
