Market Chatter: Uber Board Sued by Shareholders Over Alleged Compliance Failures

MT Newswires Live06-23

Uber Technologies (UBER) was sued Monday by shareholders who accused the ride-sharing company's board of ignoring warnings about compliance failures that allegedly contributed to thousands of sexual assault and harassment lawsuits, Reuters reported Monday.

The complaint, filed in San Francisco federal court, alleges directors failed to address sexual abuse by drivers despite repeated warnings.

The derivative lawsuit names Chief Executive Dara Khosrowshahi among the defendants and seeks to require directors to reimburse Uber for alleged breaches of fiduciary duties and violations of federal securities law.

Shareholders also cited alleged oversight failures related to federal lawsuits accusing Uber of refusing to serve disabled passengers and engaging in deceptive billing and cancellation practices, the report added.

Uber did not immediately respond to a request for comment from MT Newswires.
