Ban on Pregnant Discrimination Sought
March 5th, 2015 by Mike Vasilinda
Pregnant women are not currently protected under the states civil rights laws, but State Senator Geraldine Thompson wants that to change.
“We have women who, for example, work for parcel companies where they are required to life 50 pounds, which they can do. And even though they were able to lift 50 pounds, they were forced to take unpaid leave at at time when the needed the medical benefits for prenatal care and to take care of their children.”
The legislation is yet to get a hearing in the Senate.
