Workplace Pregnancy Rights Asserted By Moms-To-Be

Lawsuits around the rights of pregnant women to work and be accommodated at the workplace are being filed at an increasing rate since the Supreme Court ruled in Young v. UPS in March 2015, and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission clarified guidelines regarding pregnancy in the workplace. Recently a Bronx County jury awarded $6.2 million to three medical assistants who were ridiculed, encouraged to remain childless and ultimately terminated because they were pregnant.
