Shareholders filed a lawsuit against Uber’s board of directors and CEO Dara Khosrowshahi in San Francisco federal court on Monday. The complaint alleges leadership knowingly prioritized corporate growth over safety compliance.
This prioritization reportedly led to thousands of lawsuits involving sexual assault and harassment by Uber drivers. The filing accuses management of failing in their oversight duties and exposing the company to significant legal liabilities.
Shareholders argue these failures damaged investor interests and caused substantial reputational harm. The legal action highlights ongoing concerns regarding the company's governance and future legal costs.
