Assignment 2

Uber is
largely hailed as the advent of the gig economy, which is the idea that people
will not work for any one employer, but instead will work on projects for any
variety of companies desiring their services.
While creating a new type of entrepreneurship for individuals, it raises
a host of new legal questions for companies around the law of agency. An investment firm has asked you to evaluate
Uber’s legal exposure for the conduct of its drivers.

Write an
interoffice memo in which you:

Summarize
the main principles of agency law and the term “scope of
employment.” How is this term
applicable when it comes to Uber and its business and the liability for its
drivers? (Remember to consider liability as to Uber employees and as
independent contractors)

Recently,
an Uber driver lost control and killed his passengers. The driver was drunk. Should Uber be liable for the conduct of its
driver in this situation? Why or why not? Use the law of Agency to back up your
argument.

Identify
the steps Uber should take to limit its legal exposure for the conduct of its
drivers.

Use at
least three (3) quality resources in this assignment, one being the textbook.

1. Analyze, identify, and explain recent
legislation that helps to protect employees from discrimination in the

2. Explain the employment-at-will (EAW) doctrine
and ALL possible exceptions to the doctrine. Look at the scenarios below and

why or why not and determine all the possible exceptions per the EAW doctrine
that are, might be, or could be applicable if the employee sues for wrongful
termination.

Scenarios:

Jason, a
department supervisor, requests approval to fire his secretary, Joann. Joann is a devout Christian and was putting
out Right to Life flyers in the employee break room. Joann was also taking a lot of time to pray
in the workplace during some of the busiest times of day. Jason wants to fire Joann. Can Joann sue for
wrongful termination and prevail?

manager, started a blog on the company website for employee grievances. He

worker and the next day, the employee posted a sign-up sheet on the blog to
start a union. Jamal threatened to the
fire the employee and, when the employee did not show up for work for a week,
fired him. Can the employee sue for
wrongful termination and prevail?

worked for the company for 1 year. He has a rare form of liver disease and
works with chemicals that make his condition worse. Peter does not want to stop
working, but his boss is not happy with his performance and wants to let him
go. Can Peter sue for wrongful termination and prevail?

3. Determine the law in regard to undocumented
