Amazon (AMZN) Bars Breastfeeding Employee from Business Course

Amazon (AMZN) denied entry to a breastfeeding employee, Rachel Bews, to a business course due to a policy prohibiting children under six on its warehouse site. Bews had informed Amazon a week prior that she would need to bring her 20-week-old baby. The company stated they would review their communication process to ensure clarity regarding site access policies. This incident highlights potential barriers for working mothers seeking professional development opportunities, which could impact perceptions of company's inclusivity.
