New York Uber drivers can now appeal deactivation through panel
New York Uber drivers who are deactivated by Uber from the app can now appeal the decision through a panel. The Independent Drivers Guild, which represents 45,000 drivers in the area, and the Machinists Union negotiated for the five-person panel, which will be made up of drivers chosen by the IDG and by Uber. Uber drivers can be deactivated if their rating falls below 4.6, if a passenger makes a serious complaint or if he or she violates Uber's code of conduct, among other issues. Outside of the New York appeals process, drivers can work with Uber's support team or take classes, among other methods.
