Legal action taken by thousands of drivers against Amazon for unpaid wages

Thousands of delivery drivers filed legal claims against Amazon, alleging misclassification as independent contractors led to unpaid wages. About 15,860 Amazon Flex drivers submitted arbitration claims, arguing they should be classified as employees. This change would allow them to collect unpaid wages, receive overtime pay, and get reimbursements for work-related expenses. Amazon's business model faces scrutiny, with senators seeking more information and courts ruling in favor of drivers being classified as employees. The Teamsters union is also challenging Amazon's classification of drivers.
