Amazon Flex drivers are challenging Amazon
Amazon Flex Drivers are claiming that Amazon led them to believe that they would be truly independent workers – not subject to the direction and control of the company.
However, Amazon Flex Drivers are required to follow all the rules and are treated in virtually every respect as employees – except they don’t get benefits like overtime, sick days, health insurance, and reimbursement for expenses.
Zimmerman Reed stands up for the rights of gig drivers who were wrongfully misclassified as independent contractors and has already helped thousands of gig workers receive compensation they deserve.

Why do employers misclassify workers as “independent contractors”?
Independent contractor misclassification is widespread and it’s illegal. Employers will frequently misclassify workers as “independent contractors” to avoid paying certain expenses, including insurance and worker compensation coverage, and certain employer taxes. Drivers allege that the employer requires them to pay for their own expenses. But at all times, the employer had absolute control over the fares and fees charged and could terminate a driver without notice.
