A group of black lawmakers in Congress is pushing Uber to hire more people
of color for executive roles at the ridesharing company.
In a letter addressed to the San Francisco-based ridesharing and autonomous
car company, the Congressional Black Caucus suggested that Uber’s recent
slew of executive departures offered an opportunity for the company to boost
its ailing diversity.
“Recent reports suggest that Uber has vacancies for several of its most
senior positions,” the lawmakers wrote in a letter led by Caucus Chairman
Cedric Richmond (D-La.), and Representatives G.K. Butterfield (D-N.C.),
Barbara Lee (D-Calif.), and Emanuel Cleaver (D-Mo.).
“These transitions present Uber with the opportunity to improve the culture
of the company by diversifying its Board,” they continued.
After a steady stream of PR debacles, Uber’s executives have left, leaving
open many top positions like CEO, which Travis Kalanick just stepped down
from last week, COO and others.
The CBC has criticized other technology companies in the past for their
lackluster track records on diversity. In 2015 it launched a campaign called
Tech 2020 aimed at ameliorating the underrepresentation of people of color
in the technology industry.
“Among the tech industry, Uber is not alone in its need to improve hiring,
retention, promotion, and inclusion of African Americans,” the CBC wrote on
Monday. “However, as a company that seeks to ‘create possibilities for
riders, drivers, and cities,’ we encourage you to use this moment to emerge
as a leader on diversity and inclusion and set a standard that your peers
should emulate.”
A committee aide told The Hill that the letter was just the start of a
renewed push for the Tech 2020 campaign. | j***a
