People get fired for misconduct all the time without being "found guilty". Corporate HR does not have a "presumption of innocence".

Uber drivers aren't even employees, they're contractors. You can literally just decide to terminate a contract for any reason as long as you fulfill the terms.

And companies get sued all the time for doing it. Regardless, it's still morally gray to fire someone for an allegation alone.

I'm not saying Uber can't legally do it, I'm saying it is of questionable morality.
