Uber, struggling to emerge from beneath the tar and feathers it acquired via a former female engineer’s blog post about alleged sexual harassment, is under federal investigation over claims it discriminated against women in hiring and pay, according to a new report.

The San Francisco ride-hailing giant’s gender-related troubles erupted last year when former site-reliability engineer Susan Fowler alleged on Medium that sexual harassment was widespread in the company and management and HR were failing to respond to it properly.

Her blog post is seen as one of the primary causes for the ouster of former Uber CEO Travis Kalanick, blamed for allowing a climate of sexual misbehavior to take hold in the firm.

New CEO Dara Khosrowshahi has sought to show the company has turned over a new leaf, but the federal government has served him a heaping helping of trouble, according to the report.

The U.S. Equal Opportunity Commission, which enforces federal anti-discrimination law, is probing claims that Uber discriminated against women in hiring and pay, the New York Times reported Monday.

The agency started the probe in August, the newspaper reported, citing two people said to be familiar with the investigation.

The commission is examining whether Uber systematically paid women less than men and discriminated against women in the hiring process, among other matters,” according to the Times.

The news comes as Uber struggles with other reports casting the firm in a negative light. The firm’s new chief operating officer Barney Harford is under scrutiny over alleged racially insensitive comments, the Times reported last week. And Uber’s HR chief Liane Hornsey resigned last week over claims she’d done a poor job of handling complaints about racial discrimination in the company.

An Uber spokeswoman told the Times in an email that the firm had made changes over the past year and a half, including a new performance-review process and diversity training for workers.
