The Pregnant Workers Fairness Act is a critical piece of proposed legislation aimed at expanding protections for pregnant women in the workplace. While the Pregnancy Discrimination Act (PDA) of 1978, an amendment to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, already categorizes pregnant women as a protected class, this new bill seeks to provide further safeguards.

Pregnant Workers Fairness Act: Proposed Bill
Extends Protection For Pregnant Women
Currently, pregnant women are a protected class under the Pregnancy Discrimination Act,
an Amendment to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The new bill would extend
protection to female employees with pregnancy-related work limitations, forcing employers
to make reasonable accommodations and preventing them from terminating pregnant
women due to inhibited performance. For more information related to Pregnancy
Discrimination and the proposed law visit these links:
