    Pregnancy discrimination is widespread in corporate America. Some employers deny expecting mothers raises, others fire them before they can take maternity leave. For women who work in physically demanding jobs, discrimination often comes with higher stakeshttps://nyti.ms/2CY1F50

        If you are a Verizon customer on the East Coast, odds are good that your cellphone arrived by way of the XPO Logistics warehouse in Tennessee. Inside the warehouse, hundreds of workers, many of them women, lift boxes weighing up to 45 pounds, filled with iPhones and other gadgetspic.twitter.com/rgFFfVmE14

        After Ceeadria Walker learned she was pregnant, she said she gave her XPO supervisor a doctor’s note saying she should not lift more than 15 pounds. She said she asked to be assigned to an area with lighter items. https://nyti.ms/2CY1F50 pic.twitter.com/qFN9mjr4Ii

        Ceeadria Walker said her supervisor regularly sent her to a conveyor belt line where she had to lift 45-pound boxes. She miscarried the day after spending her shift handling those heavier boxes. https://nyti.ms/2CY1F50 pic.twitter.com/zmxPQawpb9

        Ceeadria Walker is not alone. 5 other women at the warehouse have also had miscarriages. In 2014, Erica Hayes, a worker who was in the second trimester of her first pregnancy, bled through her jeans at the end of her shift. She had lost her pregnancy. http://nyti.ms/2CY1F50 pic.twitter.com/0u0q6SuwNY

        The only federal law protecting expecting mothers is the Pregnancy Discrimination Act. It says a company only has to accommodate pregnant women’s requests if it is already doing so for other employees who are “similar in their ability or inability to work” http://nyti.ms/2CY1F50 pic.twitter.com/9YtGjJTQ8l

        In every congressional session since 2012, a group of lawmakers has introduced a bill for pregnant workers that would require employers to accommodate those whose health depends on it. The legislation has never had a hearing.http://nyti.ms/2CY1F50

        Employers are not parents, and keeping a company solvent is hard enough without treating employees as dependants. Sure, it's lovely idea, but most companies are barely making ends meet.

        this is a total lie. most companies in the US are showing record profits. accommodating pregnancy is one of the bare minimum things a company can do for its workers

        Nope. Over 70% of businesses in America dissolve within two years because they run out of cash.

        Actually, it is an example of how every economy is rigged and manipulated. There's nothing fair or just or equal about any economy, anywhere in the world. The World's Elites' with their massive wealth, can hold up any economy or crash it, on a whim.

        Wages flatlined under Reagan while wealth among the rich ballooned. They never recovered. Reagan basically killed the American middle class.

        Heck, I was once fired for asking the boss to give us the breaks required by CA law -- so I can imagine what #pregnant women go through in the workplace now. No wonder #women are having fewer babies or none at all.

        Most employers wouldn’t employ me when I was pregnant; 1 week short of earning government maternity benefits due to discrimination. Had to rely on the food bank for food & pampers after baby was born. Started my own biz because needed to work & couldn’t afford daycare.
