Amazon sued over alleged discrimination against pregnant workers, Reuters says
Amazon is being sued in a proposed nationwide class action alleging the retailer systemically discriminates against thousands of pregnant workers, including by firing some it said took too much time off, Reuters' Jonathan Stempel reports. According to a complaint filed by four former warehouse staff, the company routinely violates federal and New York worker-protection rules by denying pregnant employees basic accommodations including chairs, bathroom and water breaks, and time off for doctor's appointments, the author notes.
