Amazon's Shameful Treatment of Pregnant Workers A recent lawsuit against Amazon alleging discrimination against pregnant warehouse employees has shed light on the company's disturbing treatment of its workers.
The four women who filed the class action complaint, Willamina Barclay, Kristina Green, Jennifer Hatch, and Dazaria Parks, represent a larger pattern of mistreatment that has been hiding in plain sight.
The lawsuit alleges that Amazon denied pregnant employees basic accommodations, including bathroom breaks, extra time off for medical appointments, and the option to sit instead of stand.
