Four ex-Amazon workers sue over denied pregnancy accommodations
Four women who worked at Amazon warehouses in New York filed a federal class-action lawsuit alleging the company refused basic pregnancy accommodations such as bathroom breaks, extra rest time, and permission to sit instead of stand. They say Amazon punished them for taking medically necessary breaks by depleting their unpaid time off, eventually leading to their termination between April 2025 and July 2026. Amazon disputes the claims, saying the lawsuit contains inaccuracies and that it complies with federal pregnancy accommodation law.
