The US Department of Justice is suing Uber Technologies for discrimination against people with disabilities. TASS reports.
The department accused the company of forcing the disabled to pay extra waiting time. The Department of Justice noted that Uber has not modified its rules for paying waiting times for people who, for health reasons, need more than two free minutes to get in a car.
The United States demanded that the airline stop discrimination, change its pricing policy, and compensate injured passengers. In addition, Uber was fined.
On August 5, it became known that Uber spent a lot of money to attract taxi drivers. As a result, the company’s shares fell 2.29 percent.
In June, it was reported that about 20 percent of its employees quit the taxi and food service Uber. Current and former employees of the company see several main reasons for the high rate of employee turnover. Some believe that Uber has faced a lot of competition lately. In addition, the economy is recovering after the pandemic, which generally leads to an increase in the number of layoffs in the United States at various companies, and Uber is no exception. It should also be noted that the current corporate culture of Uber is embodied by CEO Dara Khosrowshahi, who is considered inferior in charisma to his predecessor Travis Kalanick, who was able to inspire his colleagues.
