The latest chapter in the ridesharing soap opera that continues to play out across the U.S. (and notably California, where a court just ruled that drivers must be made employees, and not contractors) has arrived in the form of a U.S. Civil Rights Act lawsuit filed against Uber for - wait for it - firing drivers based on how they are rated by customers for doing their job.

Yes, in today's "woke" environment, not performing your job well is no longer an acceptable means for being terminated. That's why former driver Thomas Liu is suing the ride-hailing giant, claiming that there's bias in the way the company fires minority drivers - which is the same way it fires all drivers: based on customer ratings of their service.

Also known as: exactly how anyone manages any customer service-oriented business.

“Uber is aware that passengers are prone to discriminate in their evaluation of drivers, but Uber has continued to use this system, thus making it liable for intentional race discrimination,”
