Shoppers are reflected in a window in front of Trader Joe's grocery store signage, July 18, 2017.A former Trader Joe's employee is accusing the grocery chain of pregnancy discrimination and retaliation in a federal lawsuit filed on Tuesday in the U.S. District Court in Brooklyn, New York, alleging mistreatment and claiming that a change in the company's health insurance policy led to her coverage being wrongly revoked after she went on maternity leave.
The lawsuit also details an alleged incident on Nov. 10, 2021, when a male co-worker walked in on her while she was pumping, leaving her "scared and very shaken up" as she found herself "completely exposed" and "in a vulnerable place." ABC News has reached out to Trader Joe's national representatives and management at its Long Island City location in Queens, but requests for comment were not immediately returned.
