起诉纽约市,要求阻止一项新法案的实施。优步称该法案违宪,强迫其保留不愿留在平台上的司机。
在周二晚间提交的诉状中,优步表示,这项针对“错误停用司机账号”的法案,会不当庇护那些从事危险、威胁或其他不当行为的司机,威胁公共安全,并通过损害公司声誉和商誉,造成“直接且不可挽回的伤害”。

优步称,该法案违反了美国宪法赋予其的言论自由和正当程序权利,同时也违反了纽约州宪法。优步正在寻求永久禁令以及相关诉讼费用。
纽约市法律部门的一名发言人周三表示,该部门正在审查优步在曼哈顿联邦法院提交的诉状。

通常会禁止优步、来福车(LYFT.O,打开新标签页)等大型网约车公司在没有“善意经济理由”或“正当理由”的情况下解雇司机。
只有在账号共享、诈骗,以及暴力、性骚扰或性侵犯、歧视等“严重不当行为”的情况下,才可解雇司机。
今年1月市议会以46票赞成、5票反对通过该法案后,该法案定于7月28日生效。
优步警告“袋鼠法庭”式程序
优步反对要求其在停用司机账号前提前14天通知的规定,称这给了司机针对乘客的“报复窗口”,还可能需要重新雇佣2019年以来未收到此类通知的司机。
优步表示,该法案要求乘客向被指控的司机披露虐待指控,这侵犯了乘客的隐私。
这家总部位于旧金山的公司还指责纽约市鼓励“袋鼠法庭”式程序,要求法官、仲裁员和消费者与工人保护局官员默认停用司机账号的行为是不公正的,并将举证责任转移给优步。
“我们起诉纽约市,是为了阻止这项鲁莽的新法案,该法案试图剥夺我们立即将潜在危险司机和诈骗犯从平台上移除的能力,对公共安全构成直接威胁,”优步在一份声明中表示。
截至6月1日,优步在旧金山联邦法院的全国性诉讼中,面临3571起,打开新标签页
指控司机存在性不当行为的诉讼。
来福车未立即回应置评请求,以了解其法律计划。

NEW YORK, June 10 (Reuters) – Uber Technologies
UBER.N, opens new tab
sued New York City to block enforcement of a new law that it said would unconstitutionally force it to keep drivers it does not want on its platform.
In a complaint filed late on Tuesday night, Uber said the law against “wrongful deactivations” would improperly shield drivers who engage in dangerous, threatening or other inappropriate behavior, threatening public safety and causing “immediate and irreparable harm” by undermining the company’s reputation and goodwill.

It said the law violates its free-speech and due-process rights under the U.S. Constitution, as well as New York’s state constitution. Uber is seeking a permanent injunction plus costs.
A spokesman for New York City’s law department said on Wednesday it is reviewing the complaint, which Uber filed in Manhattan federal court.
Local Law 52, opens new tab
of 2026 would generally prevent large ride-sharing companies such as Uber and Lyft

from dismissing drivers absent a “bona fide economic reason” or “just cause.”
Dismissals would be permitted for account sharing, fraud, and “egregious misconduct” such as violence, sexual harassment or assault, and discrimination.
The law is slated to take effect on July 28, following a 46-5 City Council vote in January.
UBER WARNS OF ‘KANGAROO’ PROCEEDINGS
Uber objected to being required to give 14 days’ notice before deactivations, saying this gave drivers a window for “retaliation” against passengers, and having to potentially rehire drivers from as early as 2019 who did not receive such notice.
It said the law violates passengers’ privacy by requiring they disclose reports of alleged abuse to accused drivers.
The San Francisco-based company also accused New York City of encouraging “kangaroo” proceedings requiring judges, arbitrators and Department of Consumer and Worker Protection officials to assume that deactivations are unjust, and shifting the burden to Uber to prove otherwise.
“We are suing New York City to block a reckless new law that seeks to strip our ability to immediately remove potentially dangerous drivers and fraudsters from our platform, creating an immediate threat to public safety,” Uber said in a statement.
As of June 1, Uber faced

Lyft did not immediately respond to requests for comment on its legal plans.
