Pregnancy Discrimination What Exactly Is it?
If you are expecting a baby or already have one,
your employer may decide to treat you
differently. This is typical illegal sex
discrimination and many women all over the US are
victims of pregnancy discrimination every
day. Unfortunately, the law does not give
pregnant women any special rights however, it
protects them from any illegal actions performed
by their employers. If you are treated
differently due to your pregnancy or other
related conditions, They advise you to contact

to bring your employer to justice.

victim of pregnancy discrimination. Perhaps you
were not a victim at all and jumped to
conclusions too early on the other hand, you may
have been a victim of not only pregnancy
discrimination, but also other types of
discrimination and mistreatment. In order to
prove it, you are going to have to hire a skilled
attorney, one who will investigate your case

entitled to time off for

• Pregnancy

(FMLA), every employer who does not provide
his/her pregnant employee with time off work
during this period is to be held responsible for
pregnancy discrimination.
