TIMELINE OF TROUBLE

2017 has been a scandal-plagued year for Uber.

FEBRUARY

More than 200,000 Uber users delete their accounts in response to a #deleteUber social media campaign to protest what is seen as CEO Travis Kalanick’s support for US President Donald Trump. Uber turned off surge pricing for rides to New York’s JFK Airport during demonstrations over Trump’s immigration ban.

Former Uber site engineer Susan Fowler, left, blogs about her experiences of sexual harassment at the company and how HR blamed her when she complained. Uber launches an investigation. A video is released of Kalanick, left, berating an Uber driver after the driver challenged him about why he dropped prices for an Uber premium service. Engineering executive Amit Singhal is asked to resign after failing to disclose a sexual-harassment allegation against him at his previous job.

MARCH

Company president and marketing expert Jeff Jones, left, quits after only six months, saying he could not continue to lead a business with which he was “incompatible”.

MAY

Former Attorney General

Eric Holder, left, who investigated Uber’s workplace culture at the company’s request after Fowler’s blog, recommends widespread changes, including the reallocation of Kalanick’s responsibilities.

JUNE

Uber’s Asia Pacific president of business, Eric Alexander, left, is sacked after acquiring the confidential medical records of a woman in India who complained she was raped by an Uber driver. Kalanick says he’s taking a leave of absence, then days later is forced out.
