Uber on Tuesday filed an appeal of a California Labor Commission ruling that is widely viewed as a threat to the company’s business model. The ruling resulted from a claim filed by a San Francisco driver against Uber last year. Details of the earlier action emerged when Uber moved to appeal the commission’s decision handed down in March. The commission found that the plaintiff was an employee of Uber rather than an independent contractor, as the company had maintained. It ordered payment of $4,152 in reimbursable expenses and interest.
