Drivers File Preemptive Labor Suit Against Uber Chiefs

<p>Attorney Shannon Liss-Riordan, seen here at the 2015 LCT Leadership Summit in Miami Beach, Fla., says she filed the suit on behalf of the drivers as&nbsp; a precaution to ensure Kalanick and Camp will be held personally liable for any debt to drivers in the event Uber is not around when the case concludes (LCT photo).</p>

Recent scandals have put Uber on such shaky ground that a lawyer representing aggrieved drivers has filed a lawsuit against Travis Kalanick and Garrett Camp — the ride-hailing firm’s co-founders — in case the company doesn’t survive long enough to defend itself.

Describing the lawsuit filed Thursday in the Superior Court for the State of California in Los Angeles County as a precaution in the event Uber goes bust, attorney Shannon Liss-Riordan acknowledged that her new filing shares many similarities with a 2013 class-action suit she filed alleging Uber wrongly classified drivers as independent contractors.
