  • A federal judge in California defeated an attempt by Amazon employees to sue as a group in an attempt to recoup internet expenses they incurred while working from home during the pandemic.
  • The judge ruled that the employee failed to show that Amazon had a “common policy” of allowing workers to only seek reimbursement for “incremental” increases in home internet costs.
  • The judge gave the employee a chance to refile a revised complaint based on a secondary argument that during the pandemic Amazon knew its workers were working from home incurring home internet expenses.
