Amazon is facing a new class-action lawsuit in New York accusing the company of punishing warehouse workers with disabilities for requesting legally protected accommodations. The complaint alleges Amazon’s minute-by-minute attendance system docks unpaid leave, issues threatening emails, and pushes employees toward termination while they wait for basic adjustments. Lead plaintiff Cayla Lyster, who has Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, claims she asked for simple accommodations—such as a chair and avoiding ladder work—but was instead placed on weeks of unpaid leave, questioned about her condition, and warned about absences. The suit argues Amazon’s policies violate the Americans with Disabilities Act and state laws. Amazon denies the allegations, saying it approves most requests. The case follows similar action filed recently in New Jersey.
