BOSTON – Civil rights lawyers are threatening to sue online retail giant Amazon.com for discrimination, citing Amazon's policy of requiring criminal background checks on its delivery drivers. Boston-area lawyers representing drivers fired by delivery contractors after background checks revealed criminal records claim the policy unfairly targets blacks and Latinos.
Amazon changed its policy on background checks in August, when it began requiring checks that would flag drivers with a criminal history. Amazon spokeswoman Kelly Cheeseman says the checks are "focused on job-related criminal and motor vehicle convictions and [do not] consider race, gender, ethnicity, religion, or other protected characteristics."
