Gender Pay Gap at Uber?

Uber Gender Pay Gap?

A few months ago Uber was found of paying women less than men.  This is obviously a big problem.  In 2017 with all we know women should not be getting paid less.  Former CEO Travis Kalanick has stepped down and reports have followed him on the way out that he was not always fair to women.  A new CEO has been hired and change has been made, however.  Uber has promised that the gender pay gap will be closed.  We'll see where Uber goes from here.

NYC Terror Suspect was in Fact an Uber Driver

[Credit to USAToday for photo] Well, if you haven't heard about what happened in NYC, something terrrible happened.  Sayfullo Saipov, the suspect, rented a school bus and drove it on to a walkway and killed 8 people.  This is a very sad event for America.  What makes this even more scary is background checks, while necassary, can be wrong.  Saipov previously drove 1400 trips for Uber and never showed signs of a serious criminal. Uber has responded to this event by saying they have reviewed all of his trips to see if there were any reports of him and they can not find anything related to safety of a customer.  As it would seem, Uber isn't at fault for its background check since Saipove never did anything wrong.  Hopefully, we never see something like this again.

Uber Leaving London! How will the company deal losing their biggest market in Europe?

By -
Uber’s chief executive, Dara Khosrowshahi, apologized in an open letter on Monday for the company’s “mistakes.” Apparently Uber will not be renewing its transportation authority in London. “While Uber has revolutionized the way people move in cities around the world, it’s equally true that we’ve got things wrong along the way,” Mr. Khosrowshahi wrote. “On behalf of everyone at Uber globally, I apologize for the mistakes we’ve made.” Apparently, the main issues that were occurring were difficulties with Uber's background checks on their employees. Some criminals would easily slip through the cracks, and with the position that Uber is in now with complaints about criminal drivers, it was an easy decision for the new CEO to back out. This statement by the new CEO seems nerve racking for Uber as a company. Any time a CEO admits there are major flaws in their own company, that is bad news and it seems like it will only get worse as time passes for the transportation compa

Uber’s sexual harassment problem will be the subject of an upcoming film

By -
Uber’s sexual harassment problem will be the subject of an upcoming film Susan Fowler, a 2017 sexual harassment victim of an Uber driver will be the inspiration for a potential film adaptation Variety reports. This film focuses on specific sexual harassment cases and incidents that have occurred in the recent past. This whole thing sprung about when Fowler posted a blog about her incident. She claimed that after she reported her manager for sending her sexually explicit chats at work, Uber’s human resource department took little action against the event and her request to transfer teams within the company was denied. The fact that this situation was big enough to be inspired to script a movie about it is one frightening scenario Uber has to face. Uber will have even more backlash than they do now once that movie is officially released and could turn long time and potential customers away for good. https://www.theverge.com/2017/10/23/16526400/uber-sexual-har
