The complaint details a pattern of administrative hostility, where requests for restroom breaks, seating, or lactation time were met with disciplinary action. One plaintiff specifically reported being penalized for time spent pumping in the company’s designated lactation room. According to the filing, Amazon frequently demanded medical documentation for even minor adjustments, eventually terminating the workers under internal policies that the lawsuit argues violate the federal Pregnant Workers Fairness Act.

Amazon spokesperson Kelly Nantel disputed the claims, stating the company has approved over 99.9% of pregnancy-related accommodation requests in the past year. The firm maintains that it provides a safe environment and handles each request through an individualized process. This litigation joins a long history of labor disputes regarding the company's warehouse conditions, including a 2021 push for a federal investigation and a separate lawsuit filed by New Jersey’s former attorney general last October.
