Law360 Covers Berke-Weiss Law's Suit Against Amazon

On Tuesday, May 3, 2022, Law360 dug into Berke-Weiss Law’s latest lawsuit, Brittany Hope v. Amazon.com Services LLC and Sandra Finkelstein (U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York, No. 22-cv-03537). Their coverage highlights the complaint filed by Alex Berke on May 2, underscoring the treatment Ms. Hope suffered while at Amazon and how it reflects the treatment other Amazon workers have faced while trying to take leave or receive reasonable accommodations from the company.

Ms. Berke was quoted, in part, stating, “Ms. Hope's complaint seeks a remedy for the harms she suffered, but we are mindful of how Ms. Hope's experiences appears to relate to those of other Amazon employees.”

Since we started this weekly blog post in May, we've read and summarized over 50 complaints filed under the new leave law. As we’ve pointed out, many of these complaints follow almost a template, with workers being terminated for either taking legally-allowed precautions to protect fellow workers from potential infection or for having legitimate reasons to take leave, often to care for a family member or child.
