Amazon's Troubling Pattern of Pregnancy Discrimination The latest lawsuit against Amazon, filed by A Better Balance on behalf of four former warehouse employees, adds to a growing body of evidence that the e commerce giant systematically discriminates against pregnant workers.
The proposed nationwide class action alleges that Amazon denies basic accommodations like chairs and bathroom breaks to pregnant employees, and fires those who miss too much time for pregnancy related medical needs.
The lawsuit's timing is striking: it comes just 11 months after New Jersey sued Amazon on similar grounds, and follows a comparable New York lawsuit filed in 2022.
