"Three Latina engineers sue Uber saying it underpays women and minorities," 26 Oct 2017

Three Latina engineers sued Uber…alleging unfair labor practices, saying the ride-hailing company systemically underpays women and other underrepresented groups.

The software engineers…alleged in their lawsuit that Uber’s performance evaluations favored men and white and Asian American workers over everyone else...

...The lawsuit [filed in San Francisco County Superior Court] also alleges that female engineers and engineers of color (which it defines as Latino, African American or Native American) overall received less compensation than their male and Asian American counterparts, and that women in particular were disadvantaged because the company set compensation based on their past compensation…

...Uber declined to comment on the lawsuit...
