Jason Dalton filed a handwritten lawsuit with the U.S. Federal District Court for the Eastern District in Detroit asking for $10 million from the ride-sharing company for ruining his life.
In his two-page complaint Dalton, 45, said he worked for years as a Uber contractor “and they ripped me off, never paid me back wages or overtime. I busted my butt for them. They gave me no Christmas bonus, I wasn’t invited to any corporate parties, they made me work when I was sick and they didn’t let me spend time with my children. Uber treats their drivers like crap.”
Dalton said he had to pay for his gas and repairs on his vehicle after hitting potholes and he was called late at night to work or officials said he would be fired.
“This company is a hostile workplace environment. I am tired of being treated by (sic) second class citizen by Uber. Uber discriminates against my mental health.”
Dalton also said in his complaint filed with the court that, “I am currently in prison because of Uber. My life is ruined because of Uber. My wife is divorcing me because of Uber. I am seeking $10 million in punitive damages and Emotional distress. I have psychological distress because of Uber.”
In a prepared statement the company said, "It's hard to know how to respond to someone who refuses to take responsibility for his own actions. Our hearts go out to victims' families who have to live with the consequences of his terrible crimes."
Company officials have said Dalton was approved as a driver near the end of January and worked for less than a month.
