Pension Fund Sues Uber, Claims Board Ignored Safety Risks

A Detroit pension fund sued Uber's board on June 22, alleging executives knowingly cut spending on safety measures while thousands of sexual assaults occurred on the platform. The lawsuit argues this was a deliberate choice, not mere negligence. Large retirement funds like this one carry real weight in corporate lawsuits, and the filing complicates Uber's recent push to prove it runs responsibly.
