Recent Cases of Pregnancy Discrimination
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has been actively pursuing cases of pregnancy discrimination, alleging violations of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act. One notable case involves a Texas bar that was ordered to pay $42,000 in relief to a fired bartender who faced pregnancy discrimination. Similarly, an assisted living facility in Minnesota settled for $73,000 after a manager initiated a retaliation campaign upon discovering an employee's pregnancy.
