*Summary:* Yesterday, the Ninth Circuit issued its decision in *O'Conner v. Uber* http://cdn.ca9.uscourts.gov/datastore/opinions/2018/09/25/14-16078.pdf, a class action that centered on drivers' claim that they should be classified as employees. The Ninth Circuit reversed the district court's order to certify the class action, holding that the drivers must arbitrate their claims individually because arbitration agreements they signed with Uber prevented class claims.
