The District of Columbia in the US said on Wednesday (December 6) that it is suing e-commerce giant Amazon for allegedly stealing tips from Flex service delivery drivers in order to boost profits and reduce costs.

The lawsuit says that Amazon was breaking local law on deceptive trade practices.

"When a company is caught stealing from its workers, it is not enough for the company to repay the amount stolen," Karl Racine, attorney general of the local Washington, DC government, argued in the suit.

"Stealing from workers is theft, and significant penalties are necessary to strongly disincentivize this unlawful conduct."

The lawsuit is aimed at Amazon.com and Amazon logistics. It contends that from late 2016 to mid-2019, Amazon tricked consumers who thought that the tip money was being paid to Flex service drivers while in reality, it was being used for reducing operating costs.

"Amazon, one of the world's wealthiest companies, certainly does not need to take tips that belong to workers," Racine said in a release.

"Amazon can and should do better."

Amazon launched Flex in 2015, offering drivers the opportunity to earn from $18 to $25 hourly, plus tips, for using their own vehicles to deliver groceries or packages for the company.

"Nothing is more important to us than customer trust," Amazon spokesperson Maria Boschetti said in response to an AFP inquiry.

"This lawsuit involves a practice we changed three years ago and is without merit - all of the customer tips at issue were already paid to drivers as part of a settlement last year with the FTC."

Amazon sued and accused of 'stealing' tips given to delivery drivers

The&nbsp;Golden&nbsp;State&nbsp;Warriors&nbsp;were&nbsp;sued&nbsp;on Monday by an&nbsp;FTX&nbsp;customer who accused the reigning National Basketball Association&nbsp;champions of fraudulently promoting the now-bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange.

Elliott Lam, a Canadian citizen and Hong Kong resident, filed his proposed class-action lawsuit in San Francisco federal court on behalf of "thousands, if not millions" of people outside the United&nbsp;States who traded on&nbsp;FTX's platform. Other defendants include Sam Bankman-Fried, who founded&nbsp;FTX, and Caroline Ellison, who led Bankman-Fried's trading firm Alameda Research.

The&nbsp;Warriors&nbsp;last December had named&nbsp;FTX&nbsp;its official cryptocurrency platform, in what it called a first-of-its-kind cryptocurrency partnership in professional sports. Lam accused the defendants of falsely representing that&nbsp;FTX&nbsp;was a "viable and safe way to invest in crypto," in order to deceive people into investing there.

The lawsuit seeks damages under California consumer laws for customers outside the United&nbsp;States with&nbsp;FTX&nbsp;yield-bearing accounts. Lam said he lost $750,000 in his account. A&nbsp;Warriors&nbsp;spokeswoman said the team does not discuss pending legal matters. Lam's lawyers did not immediately respond to requests for additional comment.

The&nbsp;Warriors&nbsp;are also a defendant in a Nov. 16 lawsuit in Miami by U.S.-based&nbsp;FTX&nbsp;customers seeking damages from celebrity endorsers like&nbsp;Warriors&nbsp;guard Stephen Curry, quarterback Tom Brady, comedian Larry David and tennis player Naomi Osaka.

Last week, the&nbsp;Warriors&nbsp;paused promotions related to&nbsp;FTX, according to published reports. Another&nbsp;NBA&nbsp;team, the Miami Heat, on Nov. 11 said it would drop the&nbsp;FTX&nbsp;name from its arena and seek a new naming sponsor. FTX&nbsp;filed for Chapter 11 protection on the same day. The Heat is not a defendant in the Miami lawsuit.

Indian weddings seem to have become popular in recent years for being generally late. But what will happen if some people begin staying ahead of schedule? Well, truly, anything can happen as in this case where a groom has been sued by his friends for Rs 50 lakh for defamation in Indian state of Uttarakhand. The groom, Ravi, seems to have allegedly ‘ditched’ his friends, by leaving with the baarat earlier than the scheduled time on his wedding day. The groom belongs to Bahadurabad village of Haridwar district. The friends, who got left behind, took it as an insult and filed a lawsuit, media reports said. These friends are now seeking Rs 50 lakh in damages. &nbsp;

Not just this, one of these friends, Chandrashekhar, had also helped the groom distribute the invitation cards for the wedding. As per the card, the baarat (wedding procession) was going to leave at 5 pm. But the groom had left before time without informing his friends, who showed up later to realise that they had been ditched. &nbsp; &nbsp;

The US Justice Department is suing the very famous Uber Technologies Inc over allegations of overcharging disabled passengers. The department has also asked a federal court to order compliance with anti-discrimination law.

It has been claimed that Uber's "wait time" fees are discriminatory against disabled passengers as they need more than two minutes to get into a car. The lawsuit was filed in US District Court in San Francisco and it challenges an April 2016 Uber policy of charging passengers for waiting time.&nbsp;

"People with disabilities deserve equal access to all areas of community life, including the private transportation services provided by companies like Uber," said Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke for the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division in a statement.

As a response, Uber has said that it disagreed that its policies were in violation of the ADA. A spokesperson said that the company had been in talks with the DoJ before the "surprising and disappointing" lawsuit.

He further added that the wait time fees were "never intended for riders who are ready at their designated pickup location but need more time to get into the car."

He revealed that Uber has a policy of refunding wait time fees for disabled riders whenever they alert the firm. "After a recent change last week, now any rider who certifies they are disabled will have fees automatically waived," he added.

World Wrestling Entertainment Inc was sued on Monday by Jimmy &quot;Superfly&quot; Snuka and dozens of other retired male and female wrestlers seeking to hold it responsible for neurological injuries that they claim they suffer from because of having participated in its bouts. 
 
The complaint was filed on behalf of more than 50 plaintiffs who have performed with WWE or its predecessors since the 1970s, including Joseph &quot;Road Warrior Animal&quot; Laurinaitis and Paul &quot;Mr Wonderful&quot; Orndorff. 
 
It accused Stamford, Connecticut-based WWE and Chairman Vince McMahon of intentionally classifying wrestlers as &quot;independent contractors&quot; rather than employees, as a means to avoid liability under applicable worker protection laws. 
 
&quot;WWE placed corporate gain over its wrestlers&#39; health, safety, and financial security, choosing to leave the plaintiffs severely injured and with no recourse to treat their damaged minds and bodies,&quot; the complaint said. 
 
The lawsuit seeks compensatory and punitive damages, as well as improved medical monitoring. 
 
WWE, in a statement, called the lawsuit another attempt to hold it liable by a lawyer who had two earlier lawsuits dismissed and added that &quot;we&#39;re confident this lawsuit will suffer the same fate&quot;. 
 
WWE has won the dismissal of some claims in other lawsuits accusing it of hiding the risks of head trauma from wrestling. 
 
The National Football League and National Hockey League have also been sued by retired players over head injuries. 
 
Monday&#39;s complaint was filed with the federal court in New Haven, Connecticut. 
 
The plaintiffs accused WWE of concealing the risks of the degenerative brain disease chronic traumatic encephalopathy and other traumatic brain injuries attributable to wrestling, including through &quot;scripted&quot; moves it choreographed. 
 
Konstantine Kyros, a lawyer for the plaintiffs, in an email said WWE&#39;s &quot;exploitative business model&quot; kept his clients from learning their rights under laws such as the federal Occupational Safety and Health Act. 
 
According to the complaint, Laurinaitis, 55; Snuka, 72; and Orndorff, 66, suffer from cognitive difficulties including headaches, dizziness and memory loss, while Snuka and Orndorff also experience confusion, depression and mood swings. 
 
The plaintiffs also include former referees and identical twins Earl and Dave Hebner, 66, who according the complaint have experienced cognitive difficulties. Dave Hebner has also been diagnosed with Parkinson&#39;s disease, the complaint said.
