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. 
I look forward to passing #PWFA this Congress and providing certainty to pregnant women and new moms working every day. TY to @RepJohnKatko @RepLucyMcBath @HerreraBeutler and @BobbyScott for supporting its re-introduction today.
