More than 30 years ago, Congress wisely passed the Pregnancy Discrimination Act. Yet today, many pregnant women still experience unfair and unnecessary challenges on the job.
Nondiscrimination has been the law of the land for over three decades, yet, in some workplaces, the standard for treatment of pregnant women has remained in the dark ages. Some are fired or demoted, with no hesitation, when a modest accommodation would allow them to continue to work and support their families.
The stories are heart-wrenching and preventable. There's the pregnant woman who was terminated when, in violation of company policy, she started carrying a water bottle on advice of her doctor to fight urinary and bladder infections.
Or the store clerk who was fired when her physician restricted her to lifting only lighter loads due to her pregnancy, even though during the course of work she rarely needed to lift heavier weights.
I vividly remember early on in my career when I was eight months pregnant, working literally around the clock, and worrying that each trip to the restroom or my need to catch the occasional catnap was causing my colleagues to question whether I could keep up....

Regent: "A person appointed to administer a State because the Monarch is a minor, is absent or is incapacitated."
I think it’s discriminatory that men aren’t allowed to get pregnant. ...
The “president” speaks ...
Yup
when I was eight months pregnant, working literally around the clock, and worrying that each trip to the restroom or my need to catch the occasional catnap was causing my colleagues to question whether I could keep up....
Well, Val, considering that your “colleagues” would be
the ones picking up YOUR slack, I’d say they had a real
interest in the process.
so Jarrett is behind all the crazy things coming out of the WH
All? Doubtful. Many? Probably.
Satan’s mouthpiece, the shrew named Jarrett speaks.
We should sue!
Why is Valerie Jarrett giving directives? Why are the ideas of a Muslim-Brotherhood-connected, EVIL, witch being promoted by CNN? Obama is too stoned to do his job? The Muslim Brotherhood will now do his job?
Jarrett and the Muslim Brotherhood are behind everything that comes out of the WH.
The result of pushing this agenda is much higher employment rates for women over 40 relative to those of childbearing age.
:)
It’s all about the “war on women” drumbeat.
You’ll hear a lot more before November.
So, Valerie, maybe businesses will just hire older women instead of listening to you, especially since it is none of your damn business!
Businesses don’t work like the government, Valerie, they have to make decisions based on what is profitable to them or close their doors.
Jarrett is a pathological liar, as well as having an agenda for everything, that has nothing to do with whatever subject she raises. This being accepted as an axiom, what is she really up to?
Nothing even slightly associated with the subject at hand, of course.
Maybe this communist Iranian nutjob plans on running for Mullahness in Chief
