Summary
Uber’s latest workplace scandal heats up as a tribunal rules they mishandled a driver’s termination — banning him over a dozen complaints including spitting and swearing, but failing to properly investigate or give him a fair appeal.

The tribunal sided with the driver, ordering his reinstatement and back pay — while Uber argues the system needs urgent overhaul, the government insists recent reforms already include all stakeholders.
