Amazon Accused of Targeting Pregnant Workers | Orlando News
Description
Amazon’s under fire again as four former warehouse workers sue the company for systemic discrimination against pregnant employees, claiming they were denied essential accommodations and fired for taking time off — even after hospitalization. This follows similar lawsuits in New Jersey and New York, with Amazon defending by saying it approves nearly 100% of requests and that the plaintiffs’ accounts are inaccurate. Meanwhile, the EEOC prepares to update regulations on the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act, while a New Jersey judge recently blocked Amazon’s attempt to dismiss that case.
