Neema Sherpa testified on behalf of another driver, Numen Sharpa, who was permanently deactivated by Uber in 2020 due to two incidents. The testimony highlights the unfairness of the deactivation process and calls for an independent judge to decide such cases.
- First incident: The driver was deactivated briefly due to a passenger complaint about sleepy driving, which the driver attributed to an eye allergy.
- Second incident: The driver was permanently deactivated after crossing a yellow light when distracted by a passenger.
- The deactivated driver has been waiting for 4 years to be reactivated and believes the process is unfair.
