Amazon Faces Lawsuit Over Alleged Discrimination Against Pregnant Workers
Four former warehouse workers have sued Amazon in a proposed class action lawsuit alleging the company discriminated against pregnant employees. The case was filed in federal court in Brooklyn and claims that Amazon violated federal law by failing to accommodate pregnancy-related needs, including providing reasonable accommodations for work restrictions during pregnancy. The lawsuit could expose Amazon to significant legal costs and reputational damage as it faces growing scrutiny over workplace conditions and treatment of workers. If the class action is certified, thousands of employees may be included in the case, increasing its financial implications for the company.
