I think it's about time Uber was slapped with a class action lawsuit by all of it's former employees who have faced similar workplace abuse. Uber may smear the reputation of one of two women who try to sue them and bury their case, but if they all come together and file a class action lawsuit then their case cannot be just thrown out or buried and Uber certainly cannot manage to smear the reputation of all the plaintiffs in the group. The #ubersurvivors have a very strong chance of getting justice that way. And when the case is so strong, with all victims coming together as one, they will even receive legal support from top lawyers, who will also want to take their case since it's stronger and winnable now, and if not for justice, they'll do it with the incentive of a cut from the compensation or the glory of suing a billion dollar company. The good thing about class action lawsuits is that it leaves no room for the judge or jury to believe that a dozen people are lying and cannot just ignore the plaintiffs' allegation and proofs (chats, emails, alibis). So, I hope the #ubersurvivors seriously consider coming together, teaming up and getting the justice they rightfully deserve.
