Discussion Prompt
Pregnancy Discrimination
Part of the Title VII of the Civil Rights Act is the Pregnancy Discrimination Act (PDA). The focus of a PDA claim is whether an employer’s policy treats pregnant workers less favorably than it treats non-pregnant workers who are similar in their ability or inability to work; or whether an employer subjects a pregnant worker to a materially adverse employment action, including a hostile work environment, because of pregnancy. Most state laws are similar.
