Dear Robert –

In the conclusion of the Supreme Court’s Young v UPS pregnancy discrimination case, the Court decided in favor of Peggy Young, a UPS driver who was denied a request for light-duty tasks simply because her pregnancy was not the outcome of an on-the-job injury. While Ms. Young can continue to fight her employer for better treatment, there are other American women who will continue to face such discrimination on the job.

Join me and help other women like Ms. Young to receive fair treatment in the workplace.

To prevent further discrimination of pregnant women in the workplace, I introduced a budget amendment that guarantees employees the right to reasonable accommodations during their pregnancy. Employers would be prohibited from forcing women to leave work when viable adjustments can be made to their work environment to help them remain productive. Additionally, employers won’t be allowed to refuse employment opportunities to women based on their need for reasonable accommodations related to pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions.

Tell Congress that no woman should have to choose between her job and her pregnancy.

Women make up nearly half the American workforce, and 96,000 of working women in Pennsylvania will give birth this year. When we ignore pregnancy discrimination, we threaten the safety of our working women, hurt the American family, and weaken the economy. I need your support to help Congress realize that pregnancy discrimination in the workplace is wrong and that employers must treat women fairly, regardless of their medical conditions.

Thanks,
