Uber Sued in S.F. over Driver Tips

A federal judge denied Uber's motion to dismiss a lawsuit accusing Uber of pocketing most of the 20% gratuities that the company says it is collecting for drivers. 

U.S. District Judge Edward Chen in San Francisco said Uber must face multiple civil counts, including an allegation the company violated California's unfair competition laws.

The case is Caren Ehret vs. Uber Technologies Inc in U.S. District Court, Northern District of California, No. 14-0113.
