In the second case, passers-by reportedly detained the driver believed to be involved in the crash. (More details on the fatalities \u003ca href=\"#hitrundeaths\">below\u003c/a>.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Golden Gate Park victim was identified as Heather Miller, 41. The woman killed at Seventh and Howard was Katherine Slattery, 26. Both were San Francisco residents. Here's \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Two-bicyclists-killed-in-separate-SF-hit-and-run-8321105.php\" target=\"_blank\">the San Francisco Chronicle's account\u003c/a> of how the fatal episodes unfolded:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Miller was killed around 6 p.m. Wednesday while bicycling east on JFK Drive in Golden Gate Park. Police said a man driving a stolen white Honda in the westbound direction hit her when he veered into the opposite lane while attempting to speed around slower cars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The driver of the Honda fled the scene, officials said. The vehicle was later found abandoned at the Anglers Lodge in Golden Gate Park. Authorities said the car had been reported stolen and that they are in communication with the registered owner. They were still searching for the suspect Thursday afternoon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just before 8:30 p.m., Slattery was killed when a man in a black BMW SUV headed west on Howard Street sped through a red light and struck her as she was pedaling north on Seventh Street, police said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That driver continued on to a gas station at Ninth and Howard streets, where he hit a parked vehicle and stopped, officials said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A citizen spotted the driver and made him to stay at the scene until police arrived and took him into custody. Officials do not believe drugs or alcohol were involved. The driver ... was arrested on suspicion of felony hit-and-run and vehicular manslaughter.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Police have identified the driver as Farrukh Mushtaq, 32, of San Francisco. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a Thursday morning press conference at San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency headquarters, Lee called the incidents \"the consequences of total irresponsibility. We cannot have that in our city.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said the city's \u003ca href=\"http://visionzerosf.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Vision Zero\u003c/a> program to eliminate traffic deaths is showing progress and vowed to work along with groups representing pedestrians, cyclists and seniors to get the city to \"come together even stronger to reinforce the standards of using our streets appropriately.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lee returned repeatedly to the suggestion that individuals driving on city streets are not behaving responsibly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"As much as we are doing to educate the public, whether it's through signage, through education, we have to also do a level of enforcement to hold these individuals accountable and make sure that they are using our streets safely,\" Lee said. \"These are totally avoidable tragedies. Totally avoidable.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chris Cassidy, the communications director for the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition, called the Wednesday night fatalities \"an unprecedented night of tragedy for people biking in San Francisco.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he added that Lee's remarks fail to address the ongoing death toll, which \u003ca href=\"http://sfgov.org/scorecards/traffic-fatalities\" target=\"_blank\">according to city statistics\u003c/a> includes 110 pedestrians killed in traffic collisions since July 2010.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think what we heard this morning from city leaders was hollow words without any detail,\" Cassidy said. \"The people of San Francisco deserve safer streets. That's the end of the discussion. They deserved them yesterday, and they deserve urgent steps and specific plans today by city leaders to deliver safer streets as soon as humanly possible.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bike coalition noted that the sites of Wednesday fatalities, on John F. Kennedy Drive in Golden Gate Park and at Seventh and Howard streets South of Market, are located in high-injury corridors identified by the San Francisco Department of Public Health. The coalition and other street safety advocates have called for the creation of more protected bike lanes -- lanes that are physically separated from motorized traffic -- to help prevent collisions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We need to see protected bike lanes across San Francisco,\" Cassidy said. \"We need to see them on JFK Drive, where they could have prevented the fatality that occurred yesterday. We need to see them in SoMa, which is a neighborhood crisscrossed by high-injury corridors.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The coalition released a list of more than 60 streets identified as high-injury corridors that the city has no immediate plans to make safer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SFMTA chief Ed Reiskin appeared at Lee's press conference and agreed that the city's most dangerous locations and the causes of most accidents are well known.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We know why they're happening, we know where they're happening, and we know what things we can do to make them least likely to happen,\" Reiskin said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said that change is coming to the most hazardous locales -- including Seventh and Howard, where one of Thursday's victims was killed by a driver who reportedly ran a red light.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reiskin said that crosswalks were recently upgraded to make pedestrians more visible to drivers and that traffic signals have been mounted on long arms across the intersection where motorists can see them more easily.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Last night's episode showed design alone isn't sufficient if somebody is speeding through the streets and disobeying the laws,\" Reiskin said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca id=\"hitrundeaths\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>\u003cbr>\nOriginal post:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco police are investigating two hit-and-run collisions on Wednesday evening in which motorists struck and killed cyclists, then fled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NBC Bay Area reports details of \u003ca href=\"http://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/Female-Cyclist-Killed-in-Hit-and-Run-in-Golden-Gate-Park-384063951.html\" target=\"_blank\">the first incident\u003c/a>, which took place about 6 p.m. on John F. Kennedy Drive near 30th Avenue. A woman riding her bike there was struck by a white Honda Fit:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Witnesses said the vehicle was traveling about 50-60 mph when it crossed over into oncoming traffic to pass another vehicle and hit the bicycle head-on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I heard an impact, and I look and see the woman who had just passed us fly up, and I saw the bike fly the other direction,\" said Timmory Johnson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Witnesses said the driver slowed momentarily after the impact then took off in a hurry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The woman, in her 20s, was not responsive at the scene, despite the efforts of emergency crews to revive her. She was taken to a hospital, where she was pronounced dead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The vehicle, which had paper dealership plates, was found a few blocks away with a shattered windshield. Police said at least two people were in the vehicle, and they are searching for a second vehicle that may lead them to the person or persons responsible.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The second fatal collision occurred about 8:30 p.m. at Seventh and Howard streets in the SoMa neighborhood. In that incident, witnesses said, a driver ran a red light, struck a female cyclist, and drove on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police say they were able to locate and arrest the driver, apparently after other cyclists spotted the male driver just blocks west of the collision scene.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to \u003ca href=\"https://www.reddit.com/r/sanfrancisco/comments/4pfjey/i_caught_a_driver_fleeing_a_hit_and_run_on_howard/\" target=\"_blank\">a post\u003c/a> on Reddit's San Francisco subreddit, the driver was seen trying to walk away from his vehicle after a second collision, this time with another vehicle:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>I saw a man flee a car with airbags opened and signs of a fresh accident, as the car hit into another car. Called 911 and tried to get the attention of other driving passerbys that paused but kept going. As the guy tried to blend in with others on the street, I chased him down with another pedestrian and demanded he sit and wait for the police, he obliged. Definitely not sober. F'ing guy killed someone due to his recklessness. Witnesses said he blew through a red light when he struck the girl. His car told the same story.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Neither the woman killed in Golden Gate Park nor the one killed South of Market had been identified as of early Thursday. According to \u003ca href=\"https://medium.com/improving-our-cities/a-list-of-people-killed-while-riding-a-bicycle-in-san-francisco-1456bbd017d9#.wum4jo542\" target=\"_blank\">an unofficial list\u003c/a> of cyclists killed in San Francisco (h/t \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/HoodlineSF\" target=\"_blank\">HoodlineSF\u003c/a>), Wednesday's fatalities were the 14th and 15th since 2011.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The cyclists died the same day the Police Department was publicizing an effort to crack down on motorists who fail to yield to pedestrians on the streets. \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/SFPD\" target=\"_blank\">@SFPD tweeted\u003c/a> that 32 drivers were cited Wednesday morning.\u003c/p>\n\n",

We cannot have that in our city.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said the city's \u003ca href=\"http://visionzerosf.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Vision Zero\u003c/a> program to eliminate traffic deaths is showing progress and vowed to work along with groups representing pedestrians, cyclists and seniors to get the city to \"come together even stronger to reinforce the standards of using our streets appropriately.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lee returned repeatedly to the suggestion that individuals driving on city streets are not behaving responsibly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"As much as we are doing to educate the public, whether it's through signage, through education, we have to also do a level of enforcement to hold these individuals accountable and make sure that they are using our streets safely,\" Lee said. \"These are totally avoidable tragedies. Totally avoidable.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chris Cassidy, the communications director for the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition, called the Wednesday night fatalities \"an unprecedented night of tragedy for people biking in San Francisco.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he added that Lee's remarks fail to address the ongoing death toll, which \u003ca href=\"http://sfgov.org/scorecards/traffic-fatalities\" target=\"_blank\">according to city statistics\u003c/a> includes 110 pedestrians killed in traffic collisions since July 2010.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think what we heard this morning from city leaders was hollow words without any detail,\" Cassidy said. \"The people of San Francisco deserve safer streets. That's the end of the discussion. They deserved them yesterday, and they deserve urgent steps and specific plans today by city leaders to deliver safer streets as soon as humanly possible.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bike coalition noted that the sites of Wednesday fatalities, on John F. Kennedy Drive in Golden Gate Park and at Seventh and Howard streets South of Market, are located in high-injury corridors identified by the San Francisco Department of Public Health. The coalition and other street safety advocates have called for the creation of more protected bike lanes -- lanes that are physically separated from motorized traffic -- to help prevent collisions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We need to see protected bike lanes across San Francisco,\" Cassidy said. \"We need to see them on JFK Drive, where they could have prevented the fatality that occurred yesterday. We need to see them in SoMa, which is a neighborhood crisscrossed by high-injury corridors.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The coalition released a list of more than 60 streets identified as high-injury corridors that the city has no immediate plans to make safer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SFMTA chief Ed Reiskin appeared at Lee's press conference and agreed that the city's most dangerous locations and the causes of most accidents are well known.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We know why they're happening, we know where they're happening, and we know what things we can do to make them least likely to happen,\" Reiskin said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said that change is coming to the most hazardous locales -- including Seventh and Howard, where one of Thursday's victims was killed by a driver who reportedly ran a red light.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reiskin said that crosswalks were recently upgraded to make pedestrians more visible to drivers and that traffic signals have been mounted on long arms across the intersection where motorists can see them more easily.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Last night's episode showed design alone isn't sufficient if somebody is speeding through the streets and disobeying the laws,\" Reiskin said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca id=\"hitrundeaths\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>\u003cbr>\nOriginal post:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco police are investigating two hit-and-run collisions on Wednesday evening in which motorists struck and killed cyclists, then fled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NBC Bay Area reports details of \u003ca href=\"http://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/Female-Cyclist-Killed-in-Hit-and-Run-in-Golden-Gate-Park-384063951.html\" target=\"_blank\">the first incident\u003c/a>, which took place about 6 p.m. on John F. Kennedy Drive near 30th Avenue. A woman riding her bike there was struck by a white Honda Fit:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Witnesses said the vehicle was traveling about 50-60 mph when it crossed over into oncoming traffic to pass another vehicle and hit the bicycle head-on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I heard an impact, and I look and see the woman who had just passed us fly up, and I saw the bike fly the other direction,\" said Timmory Johnson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Witnesses said the driver slowed momentarily after the impact then took off in a hurry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The woman, in her 20s, was not responsive at the scene, despite the efforts of emergency crews to revive her. She was taken to a hospital, where she was pronounced dead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The vehicle, which had paper dealership plates, was found a few blocks away with a shattered windshield.

Called 911 and tried to get the attention of other driving passerbys that paused but kept going. As the guy tried to blend in with others on the street, I chased him down with another pedestrian and demanded he sit and wait for the police, he obliged. Definitely not sober. F'ing guy killed someone due to his recklessness. Witnesses said he blew through a red light when he struck the girl. His car told the same story.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Neither the woman killed in Golden Gate Park nor the one killed South of Market had been identified as of early Thursday.

"content": "\u003cp>San Francisco supervisors have passed legislation that will require about 80 percent of the city's vehicle fleet to carry black boxes to record data that it's hoped will make city workers more accountable for their driving behavior. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ordinance by Supervisor Norman Yee, passed unanimously Tuesday, comes in the wake of some high-profile fatal collisions involving city vehicles or vehicles that are contracted with the city. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They include \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfexaminer.com/signage-coming-to-site-where-pedestrian-was-fatally-struck/\" target=\"_blank\">the recent death\u003c/a> of 38-year-old Thu Phan, who was killed trying to cross Market Street in her wheelchair. Just last week, 86-year-old Lurilla Harris was \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/86-year-old-woman-IDd-as-person-killed-by-SF-8001024.php?cmpid=twitter-tablet\" target=\"_blank\">killed by a paratransit driver\u003c/a> in a city-contracted vehicle. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a City Hall press conference on Tuesday, Yee explained his passion for the issue comes from his own traumatic experience of being hit by a driver while walking. He fought back tears as he recalled the day after Christmas in 2006 when he was critically injured.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Not only did they think I would not live, but they thought I would never walk again,\" said Yee, who recovered but still occasionally deals with pain and cramps. \"It didn't just impact me, but it impacted my family, my friends and everybody around me.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Telematics technology, according to Yee and safe-streets advocates, has been helpful in dramatically reducing collisions in cities such as London and New York, by changing driver behavior. The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency installed similar technology in its buses in 2010, resulting in a 50 percent reduction in collisions. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Crashes are not accidents. They are predictable and preventable, and we know that we have the tools in the toolbox to prevent these crashes from happening in the first place. This is one such tool,\" said Nicole Ferrara, the executive director of Walk San Francisco. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yee pointed to a city legislative analyst report that found San Francisco paid out nearly $77 million in city vehicle-related legal claims over a five-year period ending last year. The telemetics system, which will cost the city $1.3 million to install and $1.8 million to maintain annually, will help to save lives and money, Yee and safe-streets advocates said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>City Administrator Noami Kelly said the data will help city officials improve driver training, identify neighborhoods where the most collisions are happening, and whether a street needs to be redesigned or whether there's a pattern with the design of a vehicle. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's a privilege to drive a city vehicle, and if you have that privilege you need to drive it safely, and so it's a reminder that we need to be responsible with our fleet,\" Kelly said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eventually, Yee and Kelly, who is overseeing the program, would like to expand the technology to use sensors and other tools that could help vehicles detect pedestrians, in blind spots, for example.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About 30 percent of the city's 8,000-vehicle fleet currently has the tracking technology. The legislation, however, does not cover law enforcement vehicles, but Yee and Kelly say they are in discussions with law enforcement officials and their unions to address concerns. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The legislation also does not cover vehicles contracted with the city, but Yee is currently working to address that with future legislation. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition, Kelly said she plans to roll out a new online driver training program for city workers later this year. City workers can face a range of disciplinary action for driving dangerously, Kelly said, from a letter of reprimand to being fired.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yee said his legislation will mean that when it comes to city workers \"we will know what you're doing, will know where you're going, and we will know how fast you're going.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The legislation is part of the city's Vision Zero efforts to achieve zero traffic deaths by 2024. \u003c/p>\n\n",

The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency installed similar technology in its buses in 2010, resulting in a 50 percent reduction in collisions. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Crashes are not accidents. They are predictable and preventable, and we know that we have the tools in the toolbox to prevent these crashes from happening in the first place. This is one such tool,\" said Nicole Ferrara, the executive director of Walk San Francisco. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yee pointed to a city legislative analyst report that found San Francisco paid out nearly $77 million in city vehicle-related legal claims over a five-year period ending last year. The telemetics system, which will cost the city $1.3 million to install and $1.8 million to maintain annually, will help to save lives and money, Yee and safe-streets advocates said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>City Administrator Noami Kelly said the data will help city officials improve driver training, identify neighborhoods where the most collisions are happening, and whether a street needs to be redesigned or whether there's a pattern with the design of a vehicle. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's a privilege to drive a city vehicle, and if you have that privilege you need to drive it safely, and so it's a reminder that we need to be responsible with our fleet,\" Kelly said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eventually, Yee and Kelly, who is overseeing the program, would like to expand the technology to use sensors and other tools that could help vehicles detect pedestrians, in blind spots, for example.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About 30 percent of the city's 8,000-vehicle fleet currently has the tracking technology. The legislation, however, does not cover law enforcement vehicles, but Yee and Kelly say they are in discussions with law enforcement officials and their unions to address concerns. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The legislation also does not cover vehicles contracted with the city, but Yee is currently working to address that with future legislation. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition, Kelly said she plans to roll out a new online driver training program for city workers later this year. City workers can face a range of disciplinary action for driving dangerously, Kelly said, from a letter of reprimand to being fired.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yee said his legislation will mean that when it comes to city workers \"we will know what you're doing, will know where you're going, and we will know how fast you're going.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The legislation is part of the city's Vision Zero efforts to achieve zero traffic deaths by 2024. \u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Under the agreement, Uber would clarify that tips are not included in the fare, but would be appreciated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"A simple answer is to say, put it in the app, and it's a sanctioned option and won't be perceived as a greedy driver trying to extract a last dollar,\" Chen suggested.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uber has resisted calls to put a tipping function on its app, like its competitor Lyft, and the company's attorney, Theodore Boutrous, rigorously defended the company's discouragement of tips.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Boutrous said it's one of the features that allows Uber \"to thrive and succeed the way it is.\" But he added, \"We wanted to make clear, there's no ban on tipping.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Liss-Riordan said \"thousands of drivers\" have already posted signs requesting tips, \"and the benefit of this provision is already starting to unfold.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chen also expressed concerns about the drivers association and an appeals panel that would be set up. It's not known how soon he plans to issue a ruling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ORIGINAL STORY:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A San Francisco federal judge will begin weighing arguments today over whether to preliminarily approve \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/04/21/uber-growing-up-agrees-to-settle-class-action-lawsuit-with-california-massachusetts-drivers\" target=\"_blank\">a tentative settlement\u003c/a> struck on behalf of Uber drivers in California and Massachusetts, who claimed in class-action suits that they were misclassified as independent contractors, instead of employees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The deal reached in April would keep drivers as independent contractors, a win for Uber, whose business model depends on drivers picking up their own expenses. But it would award as many as 385,000 drivers up to $100 million, which would be calculated by a driver's mileage on the Uber platform.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the terms, drivers couldn't be deactivated without \"sufficient cause.\" Drivers have long complained that Uber can remove them from the platform arbitrarily. The settlement would set up an appeals process, including an independent arbitrator, if needed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It would also make clear to riders that tips are not included in the fare, but \"would be appreciated.\" It would set up a drivers association with leaders elected by drivers who would air grievances to management.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Objections\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The settlement has drawn criticism from more than 20 drivers and their attorneys, who have sent emails and requests to Judge Edward Chen to reject it. Some accused the plaintiffs' attorney, Shannon Liss-Riordan, of \"selling out\" and said the deal doesn't change their status as independent contractors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawyers for one of the original plaintiffs has gone as far as requesting that Liss-Riordan be removed from the case for a \"collusive and disastrous settlement, tantamount to a $1 billion wage theft.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the most notable objections comes from a group of former and current Uber drivers represented by UC Hastings Law Professor Veena Dubal. In legal documents, Dubal contends the proposed drivers association would undermine and threaten efforts for drivers to organize independent of Uber, and questioned the appeals process for deactivated drivers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"How will these panels be constituted? By whom? How will adjudicators be compensated? How long will an appeal take?\" Dubal wrote. \"If the settlement is approved, the answers to these questions will necessarily be determined by Uber, who, without oversight, has little incentive to formulate anything more equitable or sophisticated than a kangaroo court.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>'Monumental' Settlement\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Liss-Riordan is staunchly defending what she calls a \"monumental settlement,\" and explained in an interview that she moved into settlements talks after \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/04/06/federal-court-says-uber-can-appeal-class-action-suit-filed-by-california-drivers\" target=\"_blank\">an appeals court agreed to hear Uber's challenge\u003c/a> of a decision by Judge Chen rendering the company's previous arbitration clauses unenforceable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That was most likely going to lead to a postponement for the trial, this trial that everyone, including myself, had been looking forward to, and reading the writing on the wall, that was just not a good sign for us,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also, Liss-Riordan said there was no guarantee that a San Francisco jury would side with the drivers in Uber's hometown. In their arguments in favor of the settlement, Uber's lawyers agreed there are uncertainties if the case proceeds to trial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If this settlement is scuttled, there is no guarantee that Uber drivers will get anything, because anything could happen,\" they wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Liss-Riordan said drivers objecting to the settlement are a \"small but vocal minority\" and called attempts by other attorneys to derail the deal \"opportunistic.\" She said more than 2,500 drivers have contacted her firm, and only about 33 have expressed disappointment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though the vast majority of drivers -- about 200,000 -- will receive small settlement amounts, those drivers with the most mileage will receive thousands of dollars, according to Liss-Riordan. She also believes more riders will tip, knowing now that the tip is not included in the fare.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm very proud of the settlement, and I think it will make a major impact on drivers' lives,\" Liss-Riordan said. \"It was my judgement that it was the best thing to do. It was the most prudent thing to do, and it was in the best interests of the class for us to accept this deal.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even if the settlement is not approved by Chen, Liss-Riordan said, \"I'm going to keep fighting.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That includes taking the case all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, if necessary, she said.\u003c/p>\n\n",

It's not known how soon he plans to issue a ruling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ORIGINAL STORY:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A San Francisco federal judge will begin weighing arguments today over whether to preliminarily approve \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/04/21/uber-growing-up-agrees-to-settle-class-action-lawsuit-with-california-massachusetts-drivers\" target=\"_blank\">a tentative settlement\u003c/a> struck on behalf of Uber drivers in California and Massachusetts, who claimed in class-action suits that they were misclassified as independent contractors, instead of employees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The deal reached in April would keep drivers as independent contractors, a win for Uber, whose business model depends on drivers picking up their own expenses. But it would award as many as 385,000 drivers up to $100 million, which would be calculated by a driver's mileage on the Uber platform.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the terms, drivers couldn't be deactivated without \"sufficient cause.\" Drivers have long complained that Uber can remove them from the platform arbitrarily. The settlement would set up an appeals process, including an independent arbitrator, if needed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It would also make clear to riders that tips are not included in the fare, but \"would be appreciated.\" It would set up a drivers association with leaders elected by drivers who would air grievances to management.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Objections\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The settlement has drawn criticism from more than 20 drivers and their attorneys, who have sent emails and requests to Judge Edward Chen to reject it. Some accused the plaintiffs' attorney, Shannon Liss-Riordan, of \"selling out\" and said the deal doesn't change their status as independent contractors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawyers for one of the original plaintiffs has gone as far as requesting that Liss-Riordan be removed from the case for a \"collusive and disastrous settlement, tantamount to a $1 billion wage theft.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the most notable objections comes from a group of former and current Uber drivers represented by UC Hastings Law Professor Veena Dubal. In legal documents, Dubal contends the proposed drivers association would undermine and threaten efforts for drivers to organize independent of Uber, and questioned the appeals process for deactivated drivers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"How will these panels be constituted? By whom? How will adjudicators be compensated? How long will an appeal take?\" Dubal wrote. \"If the settlement is approved, the answers to these questions will necessarily be determined by Uber, who, without oversight, has little incentive to formulate anything more equitable or sophisticated than a kangaroo court.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>'Monumental' Settlement\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Liss-Riordan is staunchly defending what she calls a \"monumental settlement,\" and explained in an interview that she moved into settlements talks after \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/04/06/federal-court-says-uber-can-appeal-class-action-suit-filed-by-california-drivers\" target=\"_blank\">an appeals court agreed to hear Uber's challenge\u003c/a> of a decision by Judge Chen rendering the company's previous arbitration clauses unenforceable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That was most likely going to lead to a postponement for the trial, this trial that everyone, including myself, had been looking forward to, and reading the writing on the wall, that was just not a good sign for us,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also, Liss-Riordan said there was no guarantee that a San Francisco jury would side with the drivers in Uber's hometown. In their arguments in favor of the settlement, Uber's lawyers agreed there are uncertainties if the case proceeds to trial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If this settlement is scuttled, there is no guarantee that Uber drivers will get anything, because anything could happen,\" they wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Liss-Riordan said drivers objecting to the settlement are a \"small but vocal minority\" and called attempts by other attorneys to derail the deal \"opportunistic.\" She said more than 2,500 drivers have contacted her firm, and only about 33 have expressed disappointment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though the vast majority of drivers -- about 200,000 -- will receive small settlement amounts, those drivers with the most mileage will receive thousands of dollars, according to Liss-Riordan. She also believes more riders will tip, knowing now that the tip is not included in the fare.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm very proud of the settlement, and I think it will make a major impact on drivers' lives,\" Liss-Riordan said. \"It was my judgement that it was the best thing to do. It was the most prudent thing to do, and it was in the best interests of the class for us to accept this deal.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even if the settlement is not approved by Chen, Liss-Riordan said, \"I'm going to keep fighting.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That includes taking the case all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, if necessary, she said.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
