Federal judges rule that Amazon driver’s privacy suit can move ahead
April 20, 2023
A federal court has ruled in favor of a former Amazon Flex driver suing the company for violating the California Invasion of Privacy Act and the Federal Wiretap Act. Amazon sought to have the case go before an arbiter. It is accused of monitoring a Facebook group of Flex drivers, who shared their experiences on the job. “Amazon’s alleged misconduct existed independently of the contract and therefore fell outside the scope of the arbitration provision in the 2016 TOS [terms of service]. The district court therefore correctly denied Amazon’s motion to compel arbitration,” wrote U.S. Circuit Judge Mary Schroeder.
