Judge calls to fine Uber, says they should suspend California operations

The Los Angeles Times reports: Uber — plagued by problems with regulators, drivers and taxi unions around the world — took a big blow in its home state Wednesday when an administrative judge recommended that the ride-sharing giant be fined $7.3 million and be suspended from operating in California.

In her decision, chief administrative law judge Karen V. Clopton of the California Public Utilities Commission contended that Uber has not complied with state laws designed to ensure that drivers are doling out rides fairly to all passengers, regardless of where they live or who they are.

Uber said it would appeal. Whether the fine and suspension are enforced will depend on the appeals process, which could take several months.
