A Pregnant Amazon Employee's Struggle
A 20-year-old Amazon warehouse worker, Genesis, faced difficulties at work after becoming pregnant in 2024.
Genesis, a "stower" at a Southern California Amazon warehouse, requested accommodations due to her pregnancy, including regular breaks, limited bending and twisting, and lifting no more than 20 pounds.
"You're just a number to them."
Despite providing a doctor's note, Genesis claims her manager wrote her up for sitting down and taking breaks, which were essential due to her medical condition that made her prone to fainting.
- Genesis' job involved placing heavy items into moving pods.
- She needed accommodations to continue working full-time and save up for her baby's arrival.
