founder Jeff Bezos subjected housekeepers to "unsafe and unsanitary" conditions, barring them from rest breaks and easy access to bathrooms, according to a lawsuit filed in Seattle this week.
"Employers discriminated against Plaintiff because of her race, forced Plaintiff to work long hours without rest or meal breaks, exposed Plaintiff to unsafe and unsanitary work conditions, retaliated against and wrongfully terminated Plaintiff’s employment," according to the lawsuit filed by Wedaa's attorney Patrick McGuigan.
In addition to extended work shifts that went as long as 14 hours with no breaks, there was "no reasonably accessible bathroom for the housekeepers," the lawsuit said. "We have investigated the claims, and they lack merit," Bezos' attorney Harry Korrell said in statement to NBC News on Thursday.
