Four former Amazon warehouse employees filed a class-action lawsuit in the Eastern District of New York alleging that Amazon denied basic pregnancy-related accommodations including bathroom breaks and the option to sit. The plaintiffs claim they were unlawfully terminated after exhausting their unpaid time off for medically necessary breaks and doctor visits.
Background
Amazon has faced multiple pregnancy accommodation lawsuits in recent years as its warehouse operations have expanded rapidly across the US. The Pregnancy Discrimination Act and state-level workplace accommodation laws require employers to provide reasonable adjustments for pregnant workers.
