Court sides with DoorDash in forcing arbitration

On Oct. 22, US District Court Judge Phyllis Hamilton held that delivery driver Manuel Magana is required to arbitrate his misclassification lawsuit against Door Dash, National Law Review reports [1]. In his suit, Magana alleges the food delivery service misclassified drivers as independent contractors instead of employees in order to avoid paying them a minimum wage and to shirk responsibility for covering the drivers’ business expenses such as insurance, gas, and phone bills.
