SAN FRANCISCO — The court has already shot down Uber once, but the rideshare company will try again Friday to convince a federal judge it shouldn’t have to tell new drivers about a pending class action before binding them to arbitration.
In a motion for reconsideration, Uber Technologies Inc. argues U.S. District Judge Edward Chen overstepped his authority in December when he ordered Uber to change the arbitration agreement it asks new drivers to sign. Chen can only dictate Uber’s communications with members of the potential class, not new drivers, Morgan, Lewis & Bockius partner Robert Hendricks argued on behalf of Uber.
