Uber Technologies Inc said it has extended its internal investigation into sexual harassment claims in its own organisation, and a report is expected by the end of May. 

In February, Susan Fowler, a female former engineer at Uber, said in a widely read blog post that managers and human resources officers at the company had not punished her manager after she reported his unwanted sexual advances, and even threatened her with a poor performance review.
