Amazon Sued Over Alleged Discrimination Against Pregnant Warehouse 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 bathroom and water breaks, chairs, and time off for prenatal appointments, and that it threatened or fired employees who took extended leave. Amazon denies wrongdoing, stating it provides accommodations to tens of thousands annually and approves most requests. The lawsuit seeks damages and an injunction against discrimination under federal and New York laws.
