U.S. LAWMAKER SAYS UBER MUST TAKE ACTION
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee urged Uber Technologies Inc to take action after the company disclosed on Thursday it received over 3,000 reports of sexual assault related to its 1.3 billion rides in the United States last year.
Representative Peter DeFazio, a Democrat, on Friday praised Uber for releasing the information, but said Uber and other companies must do more “to establish formal policies, training and reporting structures.”
