REGIONAL NEWS
New Jersey filed a lawsuit against Amazon claiming that the company violated the state’s Law Against Discrimination by retaliating against pregnant and disabled warehouse employees who sought accommodations. According to the lawsuit, those employees were fired, denied requests and placed unpaid leave, and unable to meet the Amazon’s productivity requirements. In another lawsuit, N.J. claims that Amazon has misclassified some of its delivery drivers as independent contractors and denied those workers benefits and overtime pay. Amazon is the largest private employer in N.J. and employees about 50,000 warehouse workers in the state, according to N.J. attorneys.
