The title says: "Uber Offers Drivers $1 Each to Wipe Away Labor Threats Valued in Billions"
The article says: "The agreement calls for about $1.7 million to paid to drivers(...) The amount each driver gets depends on how many weeks they have actively driven for Uber."
Regardless, it sounds like a joke. Unless they plan to somehow disqualify 99% of the drivers, the amount will still pretty much average into a slap in the face for a drivers.
Also, as I understand the article: the settlement is for $7.75M. "The agreement calls for about $1.7 million to paid to drivers and earmarks about $2.9 million in PAGA penalties for California’s Labor and Workforce Development Agency, with the rest of the settlement sum going toward attorney fees and administration costs." Which would mean that $3.15M will go to the lawyers.
I guess the lawyers are the only party that benefits from lawsuits these days.
