Amazon bars breastfeeding boss from business course over health and safety fears

Rachael Bews, a CEO running a Scotland-based marketing agency called Nu Coton, was denied entry to an Amazon business course due to health and safety concerns. The course involved visiting Amazon's large fulfillment center in Dunfermline, which employs over 1,200 people. Bews intended to breastfeed her five-month-old daughter, Sophia, during the event but was informed that children under six could not be present on-site. Despite offering alternative arrangements, such as using a nearby meeting room for her husband and child, Amazon stated that breastfeeding on-site was not feasible. Bews expressed disappointment and frustration on LinkedIn, highlighting the lack of accommodations for nursing mothers. Amazon did offer to cover her travel expenses and suggested an alternative program in Manchester.
