      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

      A New York Times investigation identified dozens of women who said they suffered miscarriages, went into premature labor or, in one case, had a stillborn baby after pregnancy discriminationhttps://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

          the comments from men who have never carried a child due to their lack of uterus are unbelievable.

          Aren’t women equal to men? If men don’t get breaks, women shouldn’t either right? If they got breaks, they’re not putting in the same hrs and shouldn’t be compensated equally. Whoops, gender pay gap! 🙄

          And who pushed for this language you highlight in the Preg. Discrim. Act that compares pregnant women to disabled people? Liberals did. And why? Because they did not want pregnancy uniquely treated. And why? There is the packaged answer and the real answer.

          Let’s vote in more stuff to make the USA less competitive. That will help!?!? NOT. Better to have the jobs GONE, outsourced, so regardless of their health they have NO job and can depend on the government. How has that worked out so far?

          In the name of equality why should employers treat women any different? If their health, even pregnancy, hinders their work performance they shouldn't be working. We want to be equal, don't we?

          One example is if an employer provides a disability leave for a non-pregnant employee, say for a back injury, and later allows that person to return to work, they must allow a women with a pregnancy-related complication a pregnancy leave before birth with the ability to return.
