The New York State Division of Human Rights has filed a complaint against Amazon for failing to accommodate reasonable changes requested by workers who were pregnant or disabled, according to a Wednesday press release<\/a> from Governor Kathy Hochul. <\/p>\n

Even in cases where the company agreed that workers should be accommodated, the complaint alleges that managers would still force them to do work they shouldn\u2019t be doing. According to one example listed in the press release<\/a>, a pregnant worker filed a request to avoid strenuous activity, specifically lifting boxes over 25 pounds. Amazon approved the request, but the worker\u2019s manager allegedly refused to adhere to the accommodation, and Amazon didn\u2019t intervene despite internal complaints. The press release says the worker was ultimately injured and had to take unpaid leave after Amazon wouldn\u2019t accommodate the injury.<\/p>\n
