A class-action lawsuit against Frontier Airlines will go forward after a federal court judge denied the motion to dismiss the case filed by four flight attendants who allege the Denver-based airline discriminates against pregnant and breastfeeding employees.
Frontier said the four women lacked standing, meaning the way in which they were harmed by the basis of the lawsuit. None of them are currently pregnant, but they have been in the past, and did not allege in their lawsuit that another pregnancy was imminent.
The suit, filed in U.S. District Court in Denver in December 2019, alleges employees who are nursing are not provided adequate breaks and sanitary locations to express breast milk.
