Amazon sued over disability/pregnancy policies that allegedly penalize workers seeking accommodations, violating civil rights laws.
Amazon is facing a proposed class-action lawsuit in New York alleging its strict absence policies penalize workers seeking disability or pregnancy-related accommodations, with plaintiffs claiming the company docked unpaid time off, threatened termination, and failed to provide reasonable accommodations despite legal protections.
The suit, led by former employee Cayla Lyster, who has Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, argues Amazon’s automated system creates a hostile environment that deters employees from requesting needed support.
The lawsuit claims these practices violate the Americans with Disabilities Act and New York state laws, seeking damages and policy changes.
Amazon denies the allegations, stating it complies with all laws and prioritizes employee well-being.
