Employees do not give up their rights when they become pregnant. The Pregnancy Discrimination Act (PDA) prohibits employers from discriminating against pregnant employees in the workplace. Unfortunately, too many employers continue to penalize workers for becoming pregnant and to resist providing maternity leave and other needed accommodations for pregnant employees and nursing mothers.
At Blanchard & Walker, our skilled attorneys provide the victims of pregnancy discrimination with attentive service and strong advocacy. We have the knowledge, resources and tenacity required to support you and hold your employer accountable.
