U.S. government investigating Uber for gender discrimination
Uber is coming under scrutiny in yet another federal investigation.
The ride-hailing company is the target of an investigation by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission over its hiring practices and allegations of gender discrimination, TheWall Street Journalreported Monday.

The agency is currently investigating Uber's "hiring practices, pay disparity, and other matters as they relate to gender," according to the report.
News of the investigation comes one week after Uber's HR chief Liane Hornsey resigned after an investigation into the executive. According to Reuters, the investigation stemmed from anonymous complaints, which alleged that Hornsey had mishandled employee allegations of discrimination.
In a statement, an Uber spokesperson said the company had "made a lot of changes in the last 18 months."
“We are continually improving as a company and have proactively made a lot of changes in the last 18 months, including implementing a new salary and equity structure based on the market, overhauling our performance review process, publishing Diversity & Inclusion reports, and rolling out diversity and leadership trainings to thousands of employees globally.”
The investigation underscores just how difficult it has been for the company to shake its prior scandals, even under the leadership of new CEO Dara Khosrowshahi. The company spent much of 2017 embroiled in scandal after a former engineer penned a harrowing account of the sexism and harassment she said she experienced at Uber.
The EEOC probe is now one of at least six federal investigations the company is facing. The U.S. Justice Department has at least five criminal investigations into the company underway, according to reports from last year.
