In a setback for Uber, India's top court has supported the ban imposed by the Delhi city government on bike taxis, thereby preventing the U.S. ride-hailing giant from continuing its services in the capital.

California gig drivers uncover millions in unpaid reimbursements
In a surprising turn of events, gig drivers in California discovered they were shortchanged on their vehicle expense reimbursements over 18 months. Uber driver Pablo Gomez and fellow driver and advocate Sergio Avedian stumbled upon the discrepancy, realizing that the adjusted rate mandated by Proposition 22, which was meant to keep pace with inflation, had never been implemented. This oversight has potentially deprived gig workers of hundreds of millions of dollars collectively. After bringing attention to the issue, the state treasurer's office finally published the adjusted rate, prompting companies like Uber and DoorDash to swiftly issue back pay to drivers. The incident highlights the complexities of gig worker laws and the challenges faced by drivers in securing fair compensation.
