Colorado Amazon drivers say the pressure of “harsh work quotas” around their delivery goals keeps them from using the restroom on the job
In a lawsuit filed Monday in Denver District Court, drivers Leah Cross, Marco Granger-Rivera and Ryan Schilling said the pressure of “harsh work quotas” around their delivery goals kept them from using restrooms on the job.
The lawsuit alleged violations of the drivers’ rights, including defying Colorado’s mandate for employers to provide workers with paid rest breaks every four hours and discriminating against people with female anatomy who cannot properly urinate without bathroom access.“We want to make it clear that we encourage our Delivery Service Partners to support their drivers,” Amazon spokesperson Sam Stephenson said.
This particular situation could be impacting thousands of Amazon drivers statewide, Seligman said. His firm and two other legal groups are representing the plaintiffs.The drivers are seeking unpaid wages, penalties and a change in Amazon’s policies, but it’s still too early to determine a specific monetary value, Seligman added.

To compensate water users for the cuts, the Biden administration plans to spend about $1.2 billion.
