Class Action Filed Against Amazon Over Disability Rights Violations

Vladeck, Raskin & Clark P.C. and A Better Balance have filed a class action complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against Amazon. The lawsuit, filed on behalf of Amazon warehouse worker Cayla Lyster and others like her, seeks to hold Amazon accountable for denying reasonable accommodations and retaliating against disabled warehouse workers across New York State—violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and other laws.

Ms. Lyster leads a class of the thousands of New York warehouse workers who have been denied their rights because Amazon punished them—or because they were too afraid to seek disability accommodations at all. The class seeks injunctive relief, meaning a change to Amazon’s policies and practices.
