Uber Settles Background Check Suit for Up to $25 Million

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Uber has gotten a lot of bad PR as of late. Like that time they hired a madman, who is currently on his way to death row if the justice system works out the way it should.

Speaking of justice, back in 2014, San Francisco and Los Angeles prosecutors filed suit on the ride sharing app because of its inept background checks. In fact, prosecutors believe Uber’s regulations for hiring suffered in comparison to those of taxi drivers.

Why? Evidently, Uber hasn’t been a fan of fingerprint checks for past convictions.
