Shareholders sue Uber’s board over sexual assaults, other incidents

A lawsuit filed by a Detroit pension fund in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California accuses Uber's management and board of prioritizing profits over compliance and safety, exposing the company to substantial risk. The complaint labels Uber a 'serial compliance offender' and asserts that its negligence has resulted in thousands of lawsuits from victims alleging sexual assault and harassment by drivers. The plaintiffs seek personal compensation from CEO Dara Khosrowshahi and board members for breaching their fiduciary duties and demand enhanced oversight and compliance measures.
