SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Uber is facing a U.S. government investigation into allegations that the ride-hailing service set up a pay structure that discriminated against its female workers.

The U.S. the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission opened the probe in August 2017, according to a person familiar with the investigation. The person asked not to be identified because the inquiry is considered confidential.
