This is a tough, but important report to read. Behind this headline are thousands of reported incidents and ongoing legal battles that point to deeper systemic issues at Uber.
For a lot of people, rideshare is part of everyday life. In response, the Alliance Against Corporate Abuse (a California campaign I am proud to support) has filed a measure to prevent sexual assaults by requiring meaningful background checks for all drivers, and hold the company accountable for their gross negligence and repeated failures to remove accused drivers from their network. With court records revealing Uber received a report of sexual misconduct every eight minutes, these measures are urgently needed to ensure Uber takes responsibility for public safety.
