Two women have filed complaints with the state of California against Uber for allegedly paying them less than men in similar roles.
The previously unreported claims were filed with the California Labor and Workforce Development Agency this summer through the Private Attorneys General Act, in what is typically the first step toward a public lawsuit. The law allows the two women to file their complaints on behalf of other women at Uber, similar to a class action lawsuit. Their complaints came to light through a public records request by The Information.
