Uber has fired 20 employees after a company investigation into sexual harassment claims, according to a source with knowledge of the matter. Employees were told that those fired were terminated for a range of reasons, including sexual harassment, bullying and discrimination. Fowler’s blog post also alleged that Uber’s human resource department systemically covered up sexual harassment complaints. But before the results of Holder’s investigation were published, Huffington defended Uber in March, telling CNN’s “Quest Means Business” that sexual harassment was not a systemic problem at the company. UPDATES:12:45 p.m.: This article was updated to add new information about the Uber investigation and context about the company’s recent struggles.
