#Latest news with #workerMisclassificationThe Verge22-05-2025BusinessThe VergeJoshua DziezaAnother AI data annotation company gets sued. Surge AI is being sued over worker misclassification in California. The class-action suit was brought by the same firm that filed a similar suit against Surge's larger rival, Scale AI, late last year. The complaint alleges that Surge exerts an extremely high level of control over how and when its contractors work and also accuses the company of failing to pay wages for the copious training and testing contractors must perform before being allowed to start on a project. Both of these problems were systemic in the annotation industry when I wrote about them two years ago.
