Pregnancy Discrimination
If women didn’t have children, the human race wouldn’t be around for very long. You tell us you are bringing children into the world, but that your employer is punishing you for it. Your employer won’t let you take any time off, is denying raises or job opportunities, and making you train someone else for your job, just because you are pregnant. That’s unfair and it’s illegal under Federal, New York State and New York City law which prohibit pregnancy discrimination.
Sometimes you tell us that you are subjected to a hostile environment based on your pregnancy. People are making hurtful comments because you are bearing a child, or they use code words, such as telling you that you may be wanting to spend more time on family matters or that your job is not your priority, as if you can’t do more than one thing a time. A hostile environment based on pregnancy discrimination is illegal under Federal Law, New York State Law, and New York City Law.
