Uber Faces Engineers' Lawsuit Alleging Gender, Race Bias
- ‘Forced’ ranking of employees cited as fueling discrimination
- Tech industry is awash in challenges to white-male dominance
Travis Kalanick's Tumultuous Reign at Uber
Uber Technologies Inc. was sued by three Latina engineers who claim the company pays women and people of color less than their peers and doesn’t promote them as frequently as males, whites and Asians.
The case joins others targeting the technology sector’s domination by white males. Twitter Inc. and Microsoft Corp. are both fighting suits accusing them of thwarting the advancement of female technical workers and engineers. Google was hit in September with a class action alleging it systemically pays male employees more than their female counterparts.
