Patty Hernandez, a 23-year-old warehouse packer at an Amazon fulfillment center in Tracy, California, says the company's human resources department denied her doctor's note requesting accommodations. The note, which was obtained by Vice's Motherboard, said no lifting, pushing, pulling, or carrying more than 20 pounds. She says her manager asked why she was taking longer bathroom breaks and moving slower. She ended up having a miscarriage when she was seven weeks into her pregnancy.![]()
