New York files complaint against Amazon alleging pregnancy and disability discrimination
alleging it discriminates against pregnant workers and workers with disabilities at its facilities.
The state cites several cases where Amazon allegedly failed to reasonably accommodate workers within its facilities. In one incident, a pregnant worker was given approval to avoid lifting packages over 25 pounds, but a manager refused to follow the accommodation, which meant the worker kept lifting heavy items.
The division claims Amazon fails to provide reasonable accommodations, in part, because it allows managers to override recommendations made by "Accommodation Consultants," whose job it is to evaluate and recommend accommodations., which prohibits discriminating against workers who are pregnant and disabled, among other factors, in the workplace.
