Amazon Faces Class-Action Lawsuit Alleging Discrimination Against Pregnant Workers
Amazon faces a proposed nationwide class-action lawsuit filed by four former warehouse employees alleging systematic discrimination against pregnant workers. The complaint claims Amazon denied basic accommodations such as chairs, bathroom and water breaks, and time off for prenatal appointments, and threatened or fired employees who took extended leave. The lawsuit, filed in Brooklyn federal court, alleges violations of federal and New York laws and seeks damages including lost wages and punitive penalties. Amazon states it provides accommodations to tens of thousands of employees annually and approves most requests.
