Alex Rosenblat, an author and labor researcher, wrote for years about how Uber Technologies obscures pay structures, surveils drivers and creates systems that facilitate discrimination against those workers. Now she works for Uber.

The ride-hailing company hired Rosenblat last month as head of marketplace policy, fairness and research. Her appointment, which hasn’t been previously reported, is part of an effort to reform Uber’s treatment of and relationship with its drivers.
