Glad to see my House colleagues reintroduced the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act today. I am looking forward to working with them on this in the Senate.
The #PregnantWorkersFairnessAct would protect pregnant workers from workplace discrimination and ensure that they are treated fairly on the job.
Women should not live in fear of losing their jobs or being forced on leave because they are pregnant and this legislation will ensure women are offered real protection in the fight against pregnancy discrimination.
No one should have to choose btwn a paycheck and a healthy pregnancy. Proud to re-introduce #PregnantWorkersFairnessAct w/ @RepJohnKatko @RepLucyMcBath @HerreraBeutler and @BobbyScott to give pregnant workers reasonable accommodations to stay on the job. nadler.house.gov/news/documents…
25 states have passed bipartisan laws like #PWFA, but current federal law fails to protect pregnant workers. A study by @ABetterBalance found that in 2/3 of cases, courts held that employers could deny pregnant women simple accommodations in the workplace. abetterbalance.org/long-overdue/
The #PregnantWorkersFairnessAct is simple, it guarantees pregnant workers can get the accommodations they need to stay on the job. Employers and women know just what to expect.
