Uber Ordered To Pay $1.1 Million To Blind Passenger Who Was Denied Rides 14 Times

whoever57 writes: A blind person with a guide dog was denied rides and harassed because of her guide dog. She sued Uber, which tried to blame its contractors and deny liability. However, an arbitrator has rejected that argument and found the company liable, awarding the blind passenger $1.1 million.

The staffers also advocated to keep problematic drivers on the platform.
