Amazon’s abuse of pregnant workers is systemic—400+ stories from 34 states reveal denied accommodations, harassment, miscarriages, and illegal firings. This cruelty violates federal law and puts workers’ health, livelihoods, and lives at risk.

California just banned employers from forcing workers to pay a debt, fee, or penalty to leave their job.

Bosses have increasingly been trapping workers with debts incurred in training and other exploitative fees.

Now that's illegal in the nation's biggest state.

We still on this fight! Amazon hasn't taken action to support pregnant workers and stories keep coming in of pregnant workers being mistreated by the company.

While Amazon floods your feed with Prime Day ads, they’re also hurting pregnant workers.
#ExposeAmazon #PrimeDay

Top, from left to right, there are portraits of actors Sally Field, Chelsea Handler, Cynthia Nixon, Jane Fonda, Rosario Dawson, Lily Tomlin, and Pamela Adlon. Underneath their portraits, arched purple text reads: 7 Hollywood Actors Signed On on top of an arched orange banner. The main text says "Tell Amazon: STOP hurting pregnant workers." in a white font. The text "send the letter!" sits on top of an orange banner/button. A pregnant woman holding her back and wearing an amazon vest is placed in the background to the right.

Pregnant workers are speaking out about egregious mistreatment at Amazon — glad to see Hollywood actors backing them up. Employers must comply with laws like the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act or be held accountable.

“Amazon ignored doctors’ and court orders. They delayed care until I had a permanent disability.”

This is what workers disabled on the job told Amazon’s top investors, ahead of today’s Annual Shareholder Meeting.

It’s time for Amazon’s Board to meet with workers and investors.

Amazon reported 39,062 warehouse injuries in 2024—almost 2x the rest of the industry.

Based on our experiences, that number is an extreme undercount.

But AMZN execs deny there’s a crisis. So disabled workers went straight to top investors.

Here’s what happened. 👇
