Uber Under Federal Investigation for Gender Discrimination
----------------------------------------------------------

Uber is under federal investigation for gender discrimination. The U.S.
Equal Employment Opportunity Commission is probing Uber's hiring
practices, wages and other evidence of gender-based discrimination. The
revelations of this probe were first reported by The Wall Street Journal
and come only a week after Uber's head of human resources, Liane
Hornsey, resigned over her handling of racial discrimination claims
within Uber.
