A rising number of pregnant women in Pa. report workplace discrimination, while other states pass laws to prevent it
Pennsylvania has seen a rise in preganancy discrimination lawsuits. Many pregnant women have cited that their hours were reduced or they were forced to work in conditions that posed harm to themselves. Multiple states have passed legislation which requires employers to provide reasonable accomodations, such as a chair, water, and additional restroom breaks, to pregnant employees. Pennsylvania currently has no such legislation.
