Here's are some of the legal issues Uber is grappling with, according to its S-1.
- Driver classification: 60,000 drivers who had entered into arbitration agreements have filed, or said they plan to file, demands asserting that they have been misclassified as independent contractors. Uber agreed to a $20 million settlement with thousands of drivers in Massachusetts and California earlier this year over a similar claim.
- Government investigation over 2016 data breach: Uber says its facing ongoing criminal inquiries and investigations by the US Justice Department, as well as from other government agencies, in the United States and abroad.
